Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If individual dispensers determine charging modules based on immediate usage state, then local autonomy is maintained, but charging efficiency deteriorates due to lack of flexible power sharing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal autonomy of dispenserVSAvoidcharging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between multiple dispensers, collecting charging information from each dispenser and electric vehicles, analyzing the data to determine optimal charging module allocation, and distributing control decisions back to dispensers. This mediator approach enables centralized optimization of power sharing while maintaining the operational structure of individual dispensers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If charging modules are allocated statically to dispensers, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates when charging states change

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging module allocation systemVSAvoidflexibility in power sharing
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic allocation of charging modules where the server continuously monitors charging states of dispensers and electric vehicles, and reassigns charging modules in real-time based on current needs. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to changing charging states without requiring complex manual reconfiguration at each dispenser.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The server analyzes charging parameters such as state of charge, charging speed requirements, and dispenser capacity to dynamically adjust the allocation of charging modules. By changing these operational parameters centrally, the system achieves flexible power sharing while maintaining relatively simple individual dispenser structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If server only collects charging information without analysis, then device complexity is minimized, but loss of information occurs regarding charging patterns and vehicle characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveserver functionalityVSAvoidcharging pattern information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The server collects charging information from dispensers and electric vehicles, analyzes this data to identify charging patterns and vehicle characteristics, and uses this feedback to optimize future charging module allocations. The analyzed information feeds back into the allocation decisions, creating a continuous improvement loop that enhances charging efficiency while maintaining manageable server complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
