Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If fast charge technology is used to increase charging power, then charging speed is improved, but battery temperature rises causing accelerated aging and safety risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism by continuously monitoring battery impedance parameters during charging and comparing them with preset values from the electrochemical impedance spectrum data model. Based on the comparison results, the charging current is dynamically adjusted to prevent overheating and ensure battery safety while maintaining fast charging capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static charging current into a dynamic parameter that changes in real-time based on battery state. By continuously adjusting the charging current according to impedance monitoring results, the system adapts to the battery's changing internal state during charging, preventing temperature-related safety issues while maintaining high charging speed.
2Loss of time
If charging current is increased to reduce charging time, then productivity is improved, but temperature rise causes harmful effects on battery
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback control by monitoring impedance parameters and adjusting charging current accordingly. When impedance changes indicate rising temperature or adverse conditions, the charging current is reduced to minimize heat generation, thereby reducing harmful thermal effects while still achieving efficient charging.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the charging current parameter dynamically based on real-time impedance monitoring. By adjusting this key parameter according to battery state, the system optimizes the balance between charging speed and temperature control, minimizing harmful thermal effects during fast charging.
