Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If charging piles are used to provide charging service for new energy vehicles, then vehicles can obtain electricity, but the charging process is too slow to meet the demand of vehicles with larger battery capacity, especially in long-distance transport scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the battery from the vehicle and replaces it with a pre-charged battery at the battery replacement station. This separates the charging process from the vehicle operation, allowing the vehicle to quickly swap batteries instead of slowly charging in place, thereby resolving the contradiction between charging speed and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery replacement station pre-charges batteries before they are needed. Batteries are charged in advance and stored at the station, so when a vehicle arrives, it can immediately swap to a pre-charged battery without waiting for the charging process, thus solving the slow charging problem in long-distance transport.
2Productivity
If battery replacement technology is implemented without integrated management, then battery swapping can occur, but the lack of coordination between battery replacement stations, vehicles, and service operations reduces efficiency and increases costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the battery replacement station management, vehicle monitoring, and service operations into a unified cloud-based platform. This integrated system coordinates battery replacement activities across multiple stations and vehicles, improving overall productivity while managing complexity through centralized control and standardized protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The cloud-based service platform performs multiple functions: it manages battery replacement stations, monitors vehicle battery status, optimizes battery allocation, and coordinates service operations. This multi-functional platform improves productivity by handling all aspects of battery replacement through a single integrated system.
3Duration of action of moving object
If large capacity batteries are used to extend vehicle range for long-distance transport, then mileage anxiety is reduced, but the increased battery weight causes greater power loss and reduced vehicle efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic battery management system where battery capacity and weight are adjusted based on actual transport needs. The cloud platform analyzes route information, vehicle load, and battery status to optimize battery selection, allowing the system to use lighter batteries when full range is not needed and heavier batteries only when necessary, thus reducing power loss while maintaining adequate range.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes battery parameters (capacity, weight) dynamically based on operational requirements. By selecting appropriate battery specifications for different routes and load conditions, the system extends vehicle range when needed while minimizing battery weight and associated power loss during normal operations.
