Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If magnetic coupling is used for signal transmission in electronic control systems, then signal transmission capability is improved, but magnetic interference and signal stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission capabilityVSAvoidmagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an interlocking circuit as an intermediary component between the magnetic coupling switch circuit and the switch circuit. This interlocking circuit processes magnetic coupling signals to eliminate time differences and prevent signal loss, thereby mediating the harmful magnetic interference while preserving signal transmission capability. The interlocking circuit acts as a buffer that cleans up signals before they reach the power switching stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the interlocking circuit continuously monitors magnetic coupling signals for time differences and signal loss conditions. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts signal processing to maintain stable operation. The feedback loop ensures that any degradation in signal quality due to magnetic interference is detected and corrected in real-time.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the interlocking circuit process and prepare magnetic coupling signals before they reach the high power switch circuit. By pre-synchronizing the signals and eliminating time differences in advance, the system prevents magnetic surges from occurring during power switching operations. This proactive signal conditioning protects the high power stage from instability and failures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The interlocking circuit serves as a protective buffer that cushions the high power switching circuit against magnetic interference and surges. By processing signals beforehand to eliminate time differences and prevent loss, the interlocking circuit absorbs and mitigates harmful magnetic effects before they can impact the power switching stage, thereby cushioning the system against potential failures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the temporal parameters of magnetic coupling signals through the interlocking circuit. By adjusting signal timing and eliminating time differences between multiple frequency channels, the interlocking circuit synchronizes signals while preserving the benefits of multiple frequency coupling. This parameter adjustment allows efficient multi-frequency communication without sacrificing synchronization.
