Solution Overview

Problem

The construction of charging piles for electric vehicles faces issues such as affecting power quality, installation restrictions, low profitability, and inefficient site planning, leading to idle or insufficient charging infrastructure, which hampers the large-scale development of electric vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for construction planning of charging piles in a smart city using an Internet of Things (IoT) system, which includes a management platform, sensor network platform, and user/service platforms to determine optimal construction sites based on region features like people flow and existing charging pile distribution, improving site selection and utilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If charging piles are constructed without reasonable site selection planning, then the quantity of charging piles increases, but the utilization rate decreases and idle charging piles occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of charging pilesVSAvoidutilization rate of charging piles
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting site selection planning before charging pile construction. The system analyzes region features including people flow distribution and existing charging pile distribution to determine candidate construction sites and target construction sites in advance, ensuring charging piles are built at locations with high expected utilization rather than randomly deploying them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the distribution and usage status of existing charging piles, then using this information to guide subsequent site selection decisions. The system adjusts construction planning based on actual utilization patterns, creating a closed-loop system that improves placement accuracy over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Quantity of substance

If charging piles are constructed without reasonable site selection planning, then the quantity of charging piles increases, but profitability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of charging pilesVSAvoidprofitability of charging piles
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of region features and expected utilization before construction, identifying sites with high profitability potential. This prevents investment in locations that would generate low returns, thereby improving overall profitability while maintaining appropriate quantity expansion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If charging piles are constructed without considering region features, then construction speed increases, but layout合理性 decreases leading to idle or insufficient charging infrastructure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction speedVSAvoidlayout合理性 of charging piles
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-analyzing region features and determining optimal construction sites before actual construction begins. This allows construction teams to proceed efficiently at predetermined locations without needing to make complex decisions during construction, maintaining both speed and layout合理性.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Device complexity

If charging piles are deployed uniformly without considering people flow distribution, then installation complexity decreases, but user experience deteriorates due to insufficient charging infrastructure in high-demand areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation complexityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring charging pile deployment to local characteristics of different regions. The system analyzes people flow distribution and existing infrastructure to identify specific high-demand areas, then concentrates construction efforts in those locations rather than uniform deployment, improving user experience where it matters most.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
