Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power-supply management systems for service modules in vehicles, such as mobile vending vehicles, lack efficient and adaptive power distribution, leading to inefficient energy usage and potential power supply interruptions, especially when dealing with various combinations of service modules.
Innovation Solution
A power-supply management device that includes a vehicle state recognition unit, a service module identification unit, and a power-supply management processing unit, which recognizes the vehicle's state and identifies the type of service modules installed, allowing for individualized power management and distribution based on the vehicle's state and module types, optimizing power supply and reducing wasteful consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a fixed power supply system is used for service modules, then the system structure is simple, but the power supply efficiency decreases when dealing with various combinations of service modules
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply management device dynamically adjusts power distribution based on the current vehicle state and installed service module types. The system transitions from a static fixed power supply to a dynamic adaptive system that reconfigures power allocation in real-time, resolving the contradiction between system simplicity and power supply efficiency for various module combinations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes power supply parameters (voltage, current allocation) based on detected service module types and vehicle state. By dynamically adjusting electrical parameters rather than maintaining fixed parameters, the system achieves efficient power distribution across different service module configurations without requiring complete system redesign.
2Use of energy by moving object
If power supply is optimized for each service module type, then power supply efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply management device serves multiple functions: it identifies service module types, determines vehicle state, calculates power requirements, and distributes power accordingly. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional device, the system achieves optimized power supply for each module type without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically identifies installed service modules and autonomously configures power distribution without manual intervention. The power supply management device performs self-diagnosis and self-adjustment based on detected module types, reducing the need for complex external control systems while maintaining optimized power efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the vehicle recombines with various combinations of service modules, then the adaptability improves, but the power supply reliability decreases without individualized management
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of service module types and pre-calculates appropriate power distribution configurations before actual operation begins. By preparing power supply parameters in advance based on detected module combinations, the system ensures reliable power supply when adapting to various service module configurations without compromising stability.
