Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate processors are used for aerosol generation device and charging device, then functional control is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by providing different voltage levels to different processors: the first processor (aerosol generation control) receives a first voltage, while the second processor (charging control) receives a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage. This voltage differentiation allows each processor to operate at an optimized power level appropriate to its function, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining adequate control capability for each subsystem.
2Use of energy by moving object
If different voltage levels are applied to different processors, then power saving is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the power supply system by providing distinct voltage levels to different processors through separate power supply paths. The power supply unit is configured to output a first voltage to the first processor and a second voltage to the second processor, creating modular voltage distribution that simplifies the overall system architecture while achieving power savings.
