Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional detection method using small voltage between neutral and ground wires is used, then the detection circuit is simple, but the detection accuracy is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an auxiliary detection circuit as an intermediary component between the neutral wire circuit and live wire circuit. This auxiliary circuit includes an auxiliary resistor and auxiliary switch that mediate the detection process, enabling accurate measurement of relay sticking status by creating a controllable detection path that doesn't directly interfere with normal circuit operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the detection parameter from small voltage between neutral and ground wires to voltage between neutral wire and live wire through the auxiliary detection circuit. By utilizing the larger voltage difference and controlled resistance values in the auxiliary circuit, the detection accuracy is significantly improved while maintaining circuit safety.
2Measurement precision
If auxiliary detection circuit with high resistance is introduced, then detection accuracy is improved, but circuit complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary detection circuit is designed to serve multiple functions: it enables sticking detection, provides circuit isolation, and allows for safe measurement. The auxiliary resistor and switch are integrated into the existing charging pile control circuitry, allowing the same components to serve both normal operation and detection purposes, thereby reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary switch is configured to be closed only during the detection phase, establishing the detection circuit path in advance before measurement occurs. This preliminary configuration ensures that the high-resistance auxiliary circuit is only activated when needed, minimizing its impact on normal circuit operation and reducing perceived complexity.
3Reliability
If voltage acquisition is performed during charging state, then detection is performed under actual working conditions, but voltage fluctuations may affect measurement stability
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the control circuit monitors the charging state and dynamically adjusts the detection process. The auxiliary switch is controlled based on feedback about the charging status, ensuring detection occurs at appropriate moments when voltage conditions are favorable, thereby maintaining both reliability and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection system is designed to be dynamic, adapting to different charging states. The auxiliary detection circuit is activated and deactivated based on real-time charging conditions, and detection parameters are adjusted dynamically to maintain measurement stability despite voltage fluctuations during different charging phases.

AI summary
A system and a method for detecting sticking of a relay, an electronic apparatus, and a medium are provided. In the system, a preset auxiliary detection circuit is provided between a neutral wire circuit and a live wire circuit of a charging station, and a resistance of a preset auxiliary resistor is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, so that a short circuit connection can be formed between the neutral wire circuit and the live wire circuit. In combination with the preset auxiliary resistor in the detection circuit, the accuracy of a current between the neutral wire circuit and the live wire circuit in the charging station is improved. In a case that relay sticking detection is performed based on a voltage between the neutral wire circuit and a ground wire circuit, the relay sticking detection of the neutral wire circuit can be performed based on a calculated sticking detection value with high accuracy. Since the charging station is in different circuit conduction conditions under different charging states, the relay sticking detection of the neutral wire circuit is performed based on an actual charging state of the charging station and the sticking detection value. The accuracy of the relay sticking detection of the neutral wire circuit is improved.
