Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a common sine torque compensation is used with fixed angle and amplitude values, then the debugging process is simplified, but the compensation effect deteriorates due to inability to track real-time load changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static torque compensation method into a dynamic one by using a phase-locked loop to continuously track the load torque angle and amplitude in real-time. The compensation angle θ and amplitude M are no longer fixed values but dynamically adjusted parameters that adapt to changing load conditions, thereby resolving the contradiction between debugging simplicity and compensation accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the actual load torque information is continuously monitored and fed back to the control system. The phase-locked loop compares the actual load torque angle and amplitude with the compensation parameters, and automatically adjusts the compensation values to match the real-time load conditions, ensuring accurate compensation without requiring extensive manual debugging.
2Reliability
If the torque compensation parameters are adjusted in real-time to track load changes, then the compensation accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a phase-locked loop as an intermediary component that simplifies the complex task of real-time parameter tracking. The PLL acts as a mediator between the load torque sensor and the torque compensation generator, automatically extracting the load torque angle and amplitude through phase comparison and amplitude detection, thereby reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining high compensation accuracy.
3Device complexity
If a fixed torque compensation value is used for all operating conditions, then the control system is simplified, but vibration increases due to over-compensation or under-compensation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the compensation parameters (angle θ and amplitude M) dynamically based on operating conditions. Instead of using a fixed compensation value, the system continuously adjusts these parameters according to the real-time load torque characteristics detected by the phase-locked loop. This ensures that the compensation always matches the actual load requirements, preventing both over-compensation and under-compensation that would otherwise cause vibration.
4Reliability
If the debugging process searches for optimal angle and amplitude values, then the compensation accuracy is improved, but the debugging time and energy consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to automatically determine and adjust its own compensation parameters without requiring extensive manual debugging. The phase-locked loop continuously self-adjusts the compensation angle and amplitude by tracking the load torque characteristics in real-time. This self-service capability eliminates the need for time-consuming manual optimization processes while maintaining high compensation accuracy throughout the operating range.
