Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the charging pile uses traditional lock monitoring methods, then the lock status can be detected, but lock jamming cannot be pre-determined and occurs frequently during charging operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of lock jamming critical states by analyzing time distribution data of switching operations before actual lock jamming occurs. The controller generates lock jamming features from historical switching time data and pre-determines potential jamming states, enabling proactive maintenance before the lock fails during charging operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors switching operation times, compares them against learned normal patterns, and generates alerts when deviations indicate potential lock jamming. The controller uses the generated lock jamming features to provide feedback on lock health status, enabling timely intervention to prevent charging interruptions.
2Measurement precision
If the charging pile implements real-time lock monitoring, then lock status can be tracked, but the system complexity increases and cannot predict jamming before it occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the electronic lock's own switching operation time data to self-diagnose potential jamming issues. The controller analyzes the lock's operational characteristics and generates lock jamming features from its own historical data, eliminating the need for additional external monitoring sensors or complex monitoring hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms the raw switching operation time parameter into meaningful lock jamming features through analysis and comparison. By changing the parameter representation from simple time stamps to derived features (such as switching frequency, duration patterns, and deviation from normal behavior), the system achieves precise jamming prediction using simple existing hardware.
3Reliability
If the charging pile performs frequent maintenance checks, then lock jamming can be prevented, but charging productivity decreases due to maintenance interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of lock jamming critical states through automated analysis of switching time data, allowing maintenance to be scheduled only when necessary. By detecting potential issues before they cause failures, the system enables condition-based maintenance rather than frequent preventive maintenance, maximizing charging service availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system autonomously monitors and assesses lock health status without requiring manual inspection or intervention. The controller automatically generates lock jamming features and determines maintenance needs, enabling the charging pile to self-diagnose and self-report issues, thereby reducing unnecessary maintenance visits and maximizing productivity.
