Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional charging technology uses a single protocol design, then the circuit design is simple, but the adaptability to different charging protocols is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a protocol conversion module as an intermediary between the external electronic device and the power supply circuit. This module receives charging request information in one protocol format, converts it to another protocol format, and transmits it to the power supply circuit. This intermediary approach enables the charging device to support multiple charging protocols without redesigning the entire circuit, thereby improving adaptability while maintaining relatively simple circuit design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional charging technology is changed to support new protocols, then the adaptability improves, but the design complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the charging device into distinct functional modules: a receiving module for protocol-specific charging request information, a conversion module for protocol translation, and a power supply module for actual charging. This segmentation allows the existing power supply circuit to remain unchanged while adding protocol conversion capability through a separate module, thereby maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving multi-protocol support.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the charging device supports multiple protocols through design changes, then the compatibility improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal charging device that can handle multiple charging protocols through a single protocol conversion module. This module is designed to receive charging request information in different protocol formats and convert them to a unified internal format that the power supply circuit can process. This multi-functional design enables the charging device to work with various electronic devices supporting different protocols without requiring separate charging modules for each protocol, thereby improving compatibility while controlling device complexity.
