Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If long-term monitoring of electrical properties is used to detect battery abnormalities, then the detection reliability is improved, but the detection time is excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection reliabilityVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes a database of electrical properties for healthy batteries under various conditions (temperature, charge state, aging) before actual operation. This preliminary data preparation enables rapid comparison during runtime without requiring long-term monitoring, thus resolving the contradiction between detection reliability and detection time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the battery operation into distinct states (charging, discharging, resting) and temperature ranges, creating separate characteristic curves for each segment. By comparing real-time data against pre-established segment-specific curves, the system achieves rapid and accurate anomaly detection without needing continuous long-term monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple fitting methods are combined to analyze battery characteristics, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the battery characteristic curve into multiple segments (charging phase, discharging phase, resting phase) and applies specific fitting methods to each segment. This segmentation allows the use of simpler, targeted fitting approaches for each phase rather than attempting a single complex fit across the entire cycle, thereby maintaining high accuracy while reducing overall computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different fitting methods are applied to different segments of the characteristic curve based on their specific characteristics. For example, polynomial fitting may be used for smooth charging phases while other methods are applied to discharging phases with different behavior. This local optimization of fitting strategies improves detection accuracy without requiring uniformly complex computation across all data points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method and a device for battery detection are provided. In the method, multiple characteristic values measured from a battery during operation of the battery are captured via a data capturing device to form a characteristic curve. Curve fitting is performed on the characteristic curve to obtain a curve error. According to the magnitude of the curve error, it is determined whether the battery is normal. When the determination result is abnormal, a step-curvature radius analysis is performed on the characteristic curve to determine whether the battery is normal.
