Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the processor of the aerosol generation device and the processor of the charging device operate in similar manners, then the system structure is simplified and ease of manufacture is improved, but power saving performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different voltage levels to different processors based on their specific functional requirements. The aerosol generation device processor operates at a first voltage optimized for heater control, while the charging device processor operates at a second voltage optimized for power management. This local differentiation of operating parameters resolves the contradiction by allowing each processor to be optimized for its specific function rather than using a uniform design approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the electrical parameter (voltage) applied to different processors to optimize their respective performances. By applying a first voltage to the aerosol generation device processor and a second voltage to the charging device processor, the system achieves better power saving while maintaining manufacturing simplicity. This parameter differentiation allows each processor to operate in its optimal efficiency range.
2Use of energy by moving object
If different voltages are applied to the processors of the aerosol generation device and charging device, then power saving is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the power supply system into distinct voltage domains, with the aerosol generation device processor receiving a first voltage and the charging device processor receiving a second voltage. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each processor's power consumption characteristics without requiring complex inter-dependent control mechanisms, thereby achieving power saving with manageable complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a power supply system that can universally provide different voltage levels to different processors based on their requirements. The power supply device is designed to output both a first voltage for the aerosol generation device processor and a second voltage for the charging device processor, achieving multi-functionality that resolves the contradiction between power saving and device complexity.
