VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If battery self-heating technology uses circulative charging and discharging to generate heat through internal resistance, then heating speed and heating efficiency are improved, but noise interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces capacitors as intermediary components connected in parallel with the battery groups. These capacitors serve as mediators that filter out noise and interference generated during the circulative charging and discharging process, while allowing the heating function to continue uninterrupted. The capacitors absorb and smooth the electrical fluctuations that cause noise, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining fast heating and reducing noise interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and separates the noise filtering function from the heating function by adding dedicated capacitor components. By taking out the noise interference aspect and addressing it separately through filtering components, the system can maintain the beneficial heating effect while removing the harmful noise generation, thus resolving the technical contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 1:

Capacitors are introduced as intermediary components that filter noise while allowing the efficient heating process to continue. The capacitors smooth out electrical fluctuations during circulative charging and discharging, maintaining high heating efficiency while reducing the noise interference that would otherwise be generated by these rapid electrical transitions.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies multi-functionality by using capacitors that serve dual purposes: they filter noise interference and simultaneously stabilize the voltage during circulative charging and discharging. This universal approach allows noise reduction without requiring separate dedicated filtering components for each function, thereby reducing overall circuit complexity while achieving effective noise suppression.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the noise filtering function with the existing battery circuit structure by integrating capacitors into the parallel connection configuration. By combining multiple functions (heating, noise filtering, voltage stabilization) into a unified circuit architecture, the system achieves noise reduction without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
