Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If electrochemical formula or material parameters are used to predict solid phase concentration, then the determination process is simple, but the accuracy of solid phase concentration is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of solid phase concentrationVSAvoidcomplexity of correction system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by iteratively comparing the simulated output voltage from the electrochemical model with the actual measured output voltage of the battery. The error between these two voltages is calculated and used to adjust the solid phase concentration in subsequent iterations, creating a closed-loop correction system that continuously improves accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The electrochemical model performs self-correction by using its own internal calculations. The model takes the measured voltage as input, calculates the error against its simulated voltage, and automatically adjusts the solid phase concentration parameter within itself without requiring external intervention or complex additional measurement devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If iterative correction is performed to improve solid phase concentration accuracy, then the calculation precision is improved, but the calculation time is increased

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing iterative corrections only when necessary - specifically when the error between simulated and actual voltages exceeds a predetermined threshold. Once the error is within the threshold, the iteration stops, avoiding unnecessary additional calculations and saving time while maintaining sufficient accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The correction process dynamically adjusts the solid phase concentration parameter based on the voltage error. By changing this key parameter iteratively and observing the effect on voltage prediction accuracy, the system efficiently converges to the correct concentration value without requiring exhaustive search through all possible values.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
