Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If energy management functions are added to autonomous driving platforms, then energy efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidplatform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines energy management functions with the autonomous driving platform by integrating a battery management module that works together with existing control units. The energy management server communicates with the autonomous driving platform through standardized interfaces, merging data processing and control functions without requiring separate independent systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The energy management server is designed to work with multiple types of vehicles and autonomous driving platforms simultaneously. It provides universal energy management capabilities that can be applied across different vehicle models and platform configurations, reducing the need for vehicle-specific customizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If battery management functions are implemented, then energy management capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery management capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery management system is segmented into distinct functional modules including a battery management controller, energy management server, and multiple control units. Each module has specific responsibilities (monitoring, calculation, control) that can be independently developed, tested, and maintained, reducing overall system complexity while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The energy management server acts as an intermediary between the battery management controller and other vehicle systems. It processes battery data, performs calculations, and generates control commands, serving as a mediator that simplifies communication and coordination between different system components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If real-time battery data monitoring is implemented, then battery state diagnosis accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery state diagnosis accuracyVSAvoiddata processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of battery data at the control unit level before transmitting to the energy management server. Basic measurements and preliminary calculations are completed at the source, reducing the volume and complexity of data that needs to be processed centrally while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The energy management server implements feedback mechanisms where processed battery state information is used to adjust monitoring parameters and control strategies in real-time. This feedback loop enables accurate diagnosis while optimizing data processing requirements based on actual battery conditions and system needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
