Solution Overview

Problem

Charging technology during the takeoff of battery-driven flight vehicles has not been adequately addressed, particularly in the context of wireless charging.

Innovation Solution

The flight vehicle is equipped with a control unit that manages flight control to extend the time spent in a wirelessly chargeable area during takeoff, optimizing battery consumption by adjusting speed and altitude when wireless charging is performed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the flight vehicle takes off quickly without extending time in wirelessly chargeable area, then takeoff speed is improved, but battery consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetakeoff speedVSAvoidbattery consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit performs preliminary flight control actions to extend the time period staying in the wirelessly chargeable area during takeoff. By proactively adjusting flight parameters to maximize wireless charging time before battery depletion becomes critical, the system reduces overall battery consumption while maintaining acceptable takeoff performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Use of energy by moving object

If the flight vehicle extends time period in wirelessly chargeable area, then battery consumption is reduced, but takeoff speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery consumptionVSAvoidtakeoff speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit dynamically adjusts flight parameters during takeoff to optimize the balance between staying time in the wirelessly chargeable area and takeoff speed. By making real-time adjustments to flight path and speed, the system achieves both extended charging time and acceptable takeoff performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Duration of action of moving object

If wireless charging is performed during takeoff, then battery life is extended, but flight control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery lifeVSAvoidflight control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit autonomously manages the coordination between wireless charging and flight control operations. By implementing self-service control that automatically adjusts flight parameters to maximize charging efficiency without requiring external intervention, the system extends battery life while keeping the control system manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
