Solution Overview

Problem

Existing current and voltage detectors in high-frequency power systems face issues such as variations in detection values due to wiring variations, self-resonant frequency limitations, and difficulties in installation and maintenance, which affect detection accuracy and phase difference detection.

Innovation Solution

The use of a current detection printed board with a coiled wire formed on a board having a cutout, where the wire penetrates between the board's layers, and a voltage detection printed board with a wire functioning as a capacitor electrode, both designed to reduce variations and improve installation and maintenance by using through holes and pattern wires for stable detection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional current and voltage detectors are used in high-frequency power systems, then detection function is provided, but variations in detection values occur due to wiring variations and self-resonant frequency limitations

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical wiring-based detectors with a printed board structure where conductive patterns are directly formed on the substrate. This substitution eliminates manual wiring variations and provides consistent detection characteristics through standardized PCB manufacturing processes, directly addressing the measurement precision and reliability issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the detection system by changing the physical parameters of the detector structure - using controlled impedance traces, specific trace widths, and standardized board materials with known electrical properties. These parameter changes ensure consistent detection values by controlling the electrical characteristics of the detection path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If conventional detectors are installed in high-frequency power systems, then current and voltage detection is enabled, but installation and maintenance become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the detection circuitry directly with the power transmission path by integrating the detection traces into the same printed board structure. This merging eliminates separate detector components and simplifies installation, as the detection function is built into the existing board structure rather than requiring separate installation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The printed board structure serves multiple functions simultaneously - it provides mechanical support, electrical connection, and detection capability. This multi-functionality reduces the overall device complexity by eliminating dedicated detector components and simplifying the system architecture.

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

3Measurement precision

If traditional detectors are used for phase difference detection, then basic detection is possible, but accuracy of phase difference detection deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional separate current and voltage detectors with an integrated printed board structure where both detection paths are formed with controlled impedance. This substitution ensures consistent electrical characteristics and timing relationships, improving phase difference detection accuracy by eliminating the timing variations introduced by manual wiring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
