Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a boosting transformer is used to transform voltage in the charging circuit, then the voltage can be adjusted to support different charging protocols, but the maximal output power is constrained by the fixed transformation voltage and heat dissipation reduces power utilization efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic power supply architecture that can switch between two power paths: a traditional boosting transformer path for voltage transformation and a direct power path for high-voltage direct supply. The system dynamically selects the appropriate path based on the detected charging protocol and voltage requirements, enabling both voltage adaptability and high efficiency. The power switching circuit and control unit coordinate to activate the direct power path when input voltage exceeds the boosting circuit's optimal input range, eliminating unnecessary voltage transformation and heat dissipation.
2Device complexity
If the boosting transformer operates at fixed transformation voltage, then the circuit design is simplified, but the maximal output power is constrained when input voltage varies across different charging protocols
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a multi-functional power supply system where the boosting transformer serves dual purposes: it operates as the primary voltage transformation component for protocols requiring voltage adjustment, while the direct power path handles protocols with high input voltages that exceed the boosting circuit's optimal range. This universal design allows the charging system to support multiple charging protocols (PD, QC, etc.) with different voltage characteristics without requiring separate dedicated circuits for each protocol, thereby maintaining relatively simple circuit architecture while maximizing output power capability.
