Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electric vehicle batteries lack efficient management and verification systems, leading to slow collection and delivery procedures and inadequate detection of theft or unauthorized use, particularly in free loan scenarios, due to reliance on personnel and limited anti-theft measures.

Innovation Solution

An electric vehicle battery equipped with electronic processing means, including a communication unit, management and control unit, and sensors, which enables automated verification, remote monitoring, and detection of anomalous situations through GSM/UMTS communication, GPS location, and anti-ignition integration to prevent unauthorized use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If personnel are used to carry out battery collection and delivery procedures, then verification and monitoring of battery use can be performed, but the procedures become slower and more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification and monitoring of battery useVSAvoidspeed of collection and delivery procedures
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery system performs self-verification and self-monitoring through electronic processing means that automatically track usage, location, and status without requiring manual personnel intervention for each check

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual personnel operations are replaced with electronic and automated systems including GPS tracking, communication units, and processing means that automatically manage battery verification and monitoring

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

2Reliability

If personnel are used to manage battery free loan operations, then preliminary checks and user verification can be performed, but the operations become more complicated and slower

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser verification and authorizationVSAvoidcomplexity of collection procedures
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery's electronic processing means automatically perform user verification, authorization checks, and operation tracking without requiring personnel to manually compile requests or verify identities

3Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional anti-theft measures are used, then some level of theft prevention can be achieved, but detection of theft or unauthorized use is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetheft and unauthorized useVSAvoiddetection of anomalous situations
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Traditional mechanical or simple anti-theft measures are replaced with electronic detection systems including GPS tracking, communication units, and processing means that continuously monitor battery location and status with high precision

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides continuous feedback on battery location, usage status, and anomaly detection through communication units, enabling real-time identification of theft or unauthorized use with precise measurement capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
