Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If temperature compensation is performed using alternating current charging base, then temperature measurement can be implemented, but measurement precision deteriorates due to electrode polarization and electrolyte temperature changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature measurement precisionVSAvoidelectrode polarization and electrolyte temperature changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by using direct current charging pulses instead of continuous alternating current. The charging process uses periodic pulse signals with controlled duty cycles (e.g., charging for a period then stopping), which allows the electrochemical battery to stabilize during measurement phases while minimizing polarization effects. This periodic charging approach reduces the harmful temperature changes and polarization compared to continuous AC charging, thereby improving temperature measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the electrical parameter from alternating current to direct current pulse signals. By using DC charging pulses with adjustable width and amplitude, the system optimizes the charging process to minimize polarization while maintaining adequate charge levels. The parameter changes include controlling pulse duration (e.g., charging for 1-2 seconds then stopping for 3-5 seconds) and adjusting pulse amplitude based on battery state, which reduces electrolyte temperature fluctuations and improves measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If electrochemical battery is used for temperature compensation, then temperature measurement capability is added, but device complexity increases due to additional charging and measurement circuits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature measurement capabilityVSAvoidcharging circuit and measurement circuit
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing the electrochemical battery to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the temperature sensing element and the power source for the sensor node. The same battery that provides operating voltage also exhibits temperature-dependent voltage characteristics that can be measured for temperature compensation. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate temperature sensing hardware, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining temperature measurement capability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the temperature measurement function with the power management function by using the electrochemical battery's voltage characteristics for both purposes. The voltage across the battery is continuously monitored - this same voltage signal serves both to determine the charging state and to infer temperature through compensation algorithms. By combining these functions into a single measurement process, the patent reduces the number of separate circuits and components needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
