Solution Overview

Problem

Excessive wheel slip or spin on low-adhesion road surfaces affects vehicle stability, safety, and performance, and existing anti-slip control methods suffer from signal lag and prolonged control periods.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional anti-slip control methods are used, then the control system is simple to implement, but the control response is slow with signal lag and prolonged control periods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol response speedVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of the optimal slip rate and target motor speed before slip occurs by pre-establishing the relationship between slip rate, adhesion coefficient, and target speed. When slip is detected, the control system immediately applies the pre-calculated target speed, eliminating the need for real-time iterative calculations and reducing control lag.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary calculation model that directly relates slip rate and adhesion coefficient to target motor speed through a predetermined formula. This intermediary relationship bypasses complex real-time signal processing chains, providing a direct computational path from sensor input to control output, thus reducing signal lag.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the motor speed is adjusted rapidly to correct wheel slip, then the anti-slip control effectiveness is improved, but the driving torque adjustments cause vehicle body vibrations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-slip control effectivenessVSAvoidvehicle body stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The control system dynamically adjusts the target motor speed based on the actual slip rate and adhesion coefficient, creating a dynamic equilibrium between slip correction effectiveness and vehicle stability. The system continuously adapts the torque reduction profile to match the current slip conditions, preventing excessive or abrupt torque changes that would cause vehicle body vibrations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the control parameter from binary torque on/off control to continuous torque modulation based on slip rate and adhesion coefficient. By adjusting the driving torque in proportion to the slip condition rather than applying fixed torque reductions, the system achieves effective slip correction while minimizing disruptive torque variations that cause vehicle body vibrations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If the control period is extended to improve measurement accuracy, then the slip rate calculation is more precise, but the control lag increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslip rate measurement precisionVSAvoidcontrol time lag
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-calculates and stores the optimal slip rate and its corresponding target motor speed relationships before actual slip events occur. This preliminary preparation allows the control system to immediately apply precise control actions when slip is detected, without needing to perform time-consuming real-time calculations, thus maintaining measurement precision while eliminating control lag.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
