Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical energy storage devices lack the ability to clearly align the display representation based on the specific combination of interacting electrical energy storage devices and electrical devices, leading to ambiguous orientation changes with position shifts.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a decoding device that interacts with a control device to decode a specific device code on the electrical device, allowing the display to be oriented in multiple positions based on the device code, ensuring consistent orientation when coupled with a specific electrical device, and using coupling elements for mechanical and electrical engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display orientation changes based on position sensor detection, then the display adapts to spatial position changes, but the assignment of display alignment with the electrical device becomes ambiguous
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the position sensor-based mechanical orientation detection with an electronic decoding system. The decoding device reads a device code from the electrical device to determine display orientation, substituting the mechanical/spatial sensing approach with an electronic identification approach that provides clear device-specific alignment information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a device code as an intermediary element between the electrical device and the energy storage device. This code serves as a mediator that carries orientation information, allowing the display to be clearly assigned to the specific electrical device without relying on ambiguous spatial position detection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display shows parameters in multiple orientations, then the display can adapt to different device combinations, but the orientation stability when the energy storage device is rotated is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display orientation control based on the decoded device code. The display can adapt its orientation according to the specific electrical device it is coupled with, while maintaining stability for a given device combination. The system dynamically adjusts orientation based on device identification rather than physical rotation.
3Measurement precision
If a decoding device is added to decode device codes, then the display alignment precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the decoding device into the existing control device of the energy storage device, making it multi-functional. The control device performs both its original functions and the additional task of decoding device codes, thereby improving display alignment precision without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
