Problem

Existing charging control methods fail to balance power supply and temperature control in high-load operating states of terminal devices, leading to performance limitations and user experience issues due to rapid heating and CPU frequency limitations.

Innovation Solution

A charging control method that determines a terminal device's system power consumption, determines a required charging power, and adjusts the output parameters to ensure the device is in a high-load operating state, maintaining stable power supply and temperature control by using a temperature-controlled charging current value to optimize charging parameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If fast charging is performed using a power bank with higher output current, then charging speed is improved, but the power bank becomes heavier and larger in size

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging speedVSAvoidpower bank weight
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The charging system is divided into multiple independent coils (first coil and second coil) that can operate separately or together. This segmentation allows the power bank to provide high current through coordinated operation of multiple smaller coils rather than requiring a single large coil, thereby maintaining compact size and low weight while achieving fast charging capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Speed

If fast charging is performed using a power bank with higher output current, then charging speed is improved, but the volume of the power bank increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging speedVSAvoidpower bank volume
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The power bank employs multiple smaller coils instead of a single large coil. These segmented coils can be arranged in a compact configuration, reducing the overall volume required to achieve the same or higher output current through coordinated operation, thus enabling fast charging in a compact form factor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The multiple coils are arranged in a nested or overlapping configuration where the first coil and second coil share spatial space. This nesting allows the coils to be positioned closer together, reducing the total volume occupied by the charging components while maintaining the fast charging capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Device complexity

If a single coil is used in the power bank, then the device complexity is reduced, but wireless charging efficiency decreases due to misalignment issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil configuration complexityVSAvoidwireless charging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The single coil is divided into multiple coils (first coil and second coil) with different spatial orientations or positions. This segmentation provides multiple magnetic field sources that can compensate for misalignment between the power bank and charging device, maintaining high charging efficiency without requiring complex control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The multiple coils are designed to work together as a unified system that provides both simple operation (like a single coil) and improved performance (multiple field sources). The coil array can adapt to different positioning scenarios, making the system universally effective across various alignment conditions while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

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

4Reliability

If multiple coils are arranged in parallel, then wireless charging efficiency is improved through better coverage, but the current imbalance between coils causes instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless charging efficiencyVSAvoidcurrent distribution stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit continuously monitors the current distribution across multiple coils and dynamically adjusts the driving signals to balance the current flow. This feedback mechanism detects current imbalance in real-time and compensates for it by modulating the power supplied to each coil, thereby stabilizing the overall charging process and preventing instability caused by current unevenness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
