Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the transition voltage is set to switch the motor driving circuit, then the motor can be controlled to operate, but excessive motor current is generated causing high power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the transition voltage adjustable rather than fixed. The control unit dynamically modifies the transition voltage based on real-time motor current feedback, allowing the system to adapt to varying operational conditions and minimize power consumption while maintaining effective motor control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback through the current sensing unit that continuously monitors motor current and provides this information to the control unit. This feedback loop enables the control unit to adjust the transition voltage optimally, preventing excessive current and reducing power consumption while ensuring proper motor operation.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the transition voltage is adjusted to reduce motor current, then power consumption decreases, but reverse current is generated reducing motor efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dynamics by continuously adjusting the transition voltage based on real-time motor current conditions. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to find the optimal balance point where power consumption is minimized without causing reverse current, thereby maintaining motor efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the transition voltage parameter in response to varying motor current conditions. The control unit changes this voltage parameter dynamically to prevent both excessive current and reverse current, optimizing the trade-off between power consumption and motor efficiency.
3Device complexity
If a fixed transition voltage is used for switching, then the circuit operation is simple, but it cannot adapt to varying motor current conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static transition voltage into a dynamic parameter that automatically adapts to varying motor current conditions. The control unit modifies the transition voltage in real-time based on feedback from the current sensing unit, providing adaptability while maintaining relatively simple circuit operation through automated control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service through the automated feedback control system. The current sensing unit and control unit work together to automatically adjust the transition voltage without external intervention, allowing the circuit to adapt to varying conditions while maintaining operational simplicity. The system serves itself by using its own current measurements to optimize its own operation.
