Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the power of the wireless charging device is increased, then the charging efficiency is improved, but the temperature increases more quickly and heat output becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic fan rotation rate control based on real-time temperature monitoring during wireless charging. The control module adjusts the fan's rotation rate dynamically according to the detected temperature, allowing the system to maintain high charging power while effectively managing heat dissipation through adaptive fan speed adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the fan rotation rate is increased to dissipate heat, then the heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but the noise increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidnoise
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts fan rotation rate based on temperature conditions rather than operating at constant high speed. The control module monitors temperature in real-time and adjusts fan speed accordingly, maintaining effective heat dissipation while minimizing noise during low-temperature periods and only increasing fan speed when actually needed for thermal management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters of the fan from fixed rotation rate to variable rotation rate based on temperature conditions. By adjusting the fan's rotation parameter dynamically according to temperature thresholds and charging power levels, the system achieves optimal balance between heat dissipation efficiency and noise reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the fan rotation rate is decreased to reduce noise, then the noise level is reduced, but the heat dissipation efficiency becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise levelVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The control module implements dynamic adjustment of fan rotation rate based on real-time temperature monitoring. When temperature exceeds predefined thresholds during wireless charging, the system automatically increases fan speed to ensure adequate heat dissipation, while maintaining lower noise levels during normal operating conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Reliability

If constant fan operation is used for heat dissipation, then the heat dissipation is maintained, but energy is wasted and resources are not efficiently utilized

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic temperature monitoring and conditional fan operation rather than continuous constant-speed operation. The control module activates the fan only when temperature thresholds are exceeded during wireless charging, and adjusts rotation rate periodically based on current thermal conditions, thereby eliminating energy waste during periods when cooling is not required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fan operation from constant parameter (fixed rotation rate) to variable parameter (dynamic rotation rate adjustment). By modifying the fan's operational parameters based on real-time temperature and charging power conditions, the system achieves energy-efficient heat dissipation that activates cooling only when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
