Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional ON-OFF switch is used to control an electric load, then the control is simple and reliable, but the operational flexibility is limited (cannot change input voltage or delay circuit breaking)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational flexibilityVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit is segmented into multiple functional blocks: a first series circuit with capacitor C1 and load RL1, a second series circuit with capacitor C2 and load RL2, and a diode D. This segmentation allows each component to perform specific functions (voltage storage, voltage division, current direction control) thereby achieving full voltage activation, division voltage operation, and delayed breaking without requiring a complex programmable controller.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Capacitors C1 and C2 are pre-charged to specific voltages before the switch SW transitions to the OFF state. This preliminary charging action enables the capacitors to maintain voltage and provide delayed breaking effect after the switch opens, as well as enable division voltage operation during the ON state, thereby achieving enhanced operational flexibility without complex real-time control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If capacitors are added to achieve full voltage activation and division voltage operation, then operational flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage control capabilityVSAvoidcircuit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capacitors C1 and C2 serve multiple functions simultaneously: they store energy for full voltage activation, divide voltage during operation, and extend breaking time through discharge. The diode D also performs multiple roles by controlling current direction during charging and discharging phases. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components, thereby limiting the increase in circuit complexity while achieving enhanced voltage control capability.

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

3Duration of action of moving object

If series circuits with capacitors and EM effect loads are used, then full voltage activation and delayed breaking are achieved, but circuit complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit breaking timeVSAvoidcircuit configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The capacitors C1 and C2 are pre-charged to specific voltages (V1 and V2) before the switch opens. This preliminary energy storage enables the capacitors to continue discharging through the EM effect loads after the switch breaks the circuit, thereby extending the circuit breaking time without requiring additional timing circuits or complex control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The circuit transitions dynamically between different operational states: during the ON state, capacitors charge through the EM effect loads; during the OFF state, capacitors discharge through the loads. The diode D dynamically controls current direction. This dynamic behavior enables delayed breaking and full voltage activation using simple passive components, avoiding the need for complex active control circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
