Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If fast charging parameters are used to meet user power requirements, then charging speed is improved, but battery aging depreciation cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging speedVSAvoidbattery aging depreciation
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The charging optimization system dynamically adjusts charging parameters (current, voltage, power) in real-time based on battery state of charge, temperature, and user requirements. The system transitions from static charging modes to dynamic parameter adjustment, optimizing the balance between charging speed and battery protection throughout the charging process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes charging parameters (current, voltage, power) based on battery state and user needs. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system achieves both fast charging when appropriate and battery protection when needed, resolving the contradiction between speed and battery aging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of substance

If charging price information is considered to reduce electricity costs, then charging cost is reduced, but charging time may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectricity costVSAvoidcharging time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of charging price information, user requirements, and battery state before generating charging plans. By pre-calculating optimal charging strategies based on price patterns and user needs, the system avoids both overpaying for electricity and excessive charging time during actual charging execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts charging parameters in response to real-time price information and battery state changes, enabling flexible optimization that balances cost reduction with time efficiency based on current conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If multiple charging parameters are optimized to meet different user scenarios, then charging efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The charging optimization system segments the charging process into distinct phases (pre-charging, constant current charging, constant voltage charging, over-charging prevention) and applies different parameter optimization strategies to each phase. This segmentation enables complex multi-parameter optimization without overwhelming system complexity, as each phase has focused optimization goals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a universal charging optimization framework that handles multiple user scenarios (fast charging, cost optimization, battery protection, balanced mode) through a single integrated platform. This multi-functional design achieves high charging efficiency across diverse scenarios while avoiding the need for separate complex systems for each function.

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