Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If pulse width modulation is used to change driving voltage and frequency to drive the motor, then power consumption is reduced and energy efficiency is improved, but large noises are introduced resulting in poor driving accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiddriving accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the voltage parameter dynamically based on displacement information without using PWM. The voltage regulation unit adjusts the driving voltage according to the magnitude of displacement, allowing smooth voltage variation that reduces power consumption while avoiding the noise introduction of PWM, thus maintaining driving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If driving current is changed without changing driving voltage to achieve displacement, then the motor can be driven simply, but power consumption increases with low energy efficiency ratio

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the driving voltage dynamic rather than constant. The voltage regulation unit adjusts the driving voltage in coordination with the driving current based on displacement information, enabling the system to adapt to different operating conditions and reduce power consumption while maintaining simple control through unified voltage-current coordination.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces feedback based on displacement information. The control module receives displacement information and uses it to regulate the driving voltage through the voltage regulation unit. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adjust voltage according to actual motor needs, reducing power consumption while maintaining reliability through coordinated voltage-current control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
