Solution Overview

Problem

Existing charging gun systems experience failures in charging start or abnormal stops due to interference with the CP wire, which is crucial for AC charging.

Innovation Solution

The CP wire is positioned within a hollow space of the PE wire, allowing the PE wire to function as both a grounding and shielding layer for the CP wire, preventing signal interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the CP wire is exposed without shielding, then the cable structure is simple, but the CP wire is susceptible to interference causing charging failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging stabilityVSAvoidcable structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The PE wire is designed to perform dual functions: grounding protection and signal shielding. By making the PE wire hollow and positioning the CP wire inside it, the same component serves both safety grounding purposes and electromagnetic interference shielding, eliminating the need for a separate shielding layer and resolving the contradiction between reliability improvement and structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The CP wire is nested inside the hollow PE wire, creating a protective enclosure. This nested configuration allows the outer PE wire to act as a shielding layer for the inner CP wire, providing interference protection while maintaining a compact cable structure without adding external shielding components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a separate shielding layer is added for the CP wire, then signal interference is reduced, but the cable structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal interferenceVSAvoidcable structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The PE wire is designed to perform dual functions: grounding protection and signal shielding. By making the PE wire hollow and positioning the CP wire inside it, the same component serves both safety grounding purposes and electromagnetic interference shielding, eliminating the need for a separate shielding layer and resolving the contradiction between reliability improvement and structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The grounding function and shielding function are merged into a single PE wire component. Instead of having separate grounding wire and shielding layer, the hollow PE wire structure combines both functions, reducing the number of components and simplifying the overall cable structure while still providing interference protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
