Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If the electromechanical brake system uses an electric power source to generate braking force, then the braking ability is enhanced, but the driver cannot intuitively feel the abnormality when energy level is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controller monitors the actual energy level of the electric power source and adjusts the braking force accordingly. When energy level is insufficient, the controller reduces braking force and provides feedback to the driver through the brake system, enabling the driver to intuitively perceive the abnormality and system state.
2Productivity
If the electric brake device maintains full braking force, then braking performance is optimized, but unnecessary energy consumption occurs when energy level is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamic adjustment of braking force based on the actual energy level of the electric power source. The controller continuously monitors energy availability and dynamically adapts the braking force output, reducing braking force when energy is insufficient and maintaining full performance when energy is adequate, thus optimizing the balance between braking performance and energy consumption.
3Reliability
If the brake system provides full braking force continuously, then braking reliability is maximized, but energy depletes faster affecting overall system durability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the operating parameters of the brake system by adjusting braking force according to the actual energy level of the power source. This parameter adaptation ensures that the system maintains reliable braking performance within available energy constraints, preventing energy depletion while preserving braking reliability during normal operation.
