Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a single charging circuit with high maximum voltage is used, then charging speed is improved, but total impedance increases and charging efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The charging circuit is segmented into two distinct circuits: a first charging circuit with lower maximum voltage (5V) and higher impedance, and a second charging circuit with higher maximum voltage (12V) and lower impedance. The transfer switch enables selective switching between these two segmented circuits based on charging requirements, allowing the system to optimize between charging speed and efficiency by choosing the appropriate circuit for each charging phase.
2Device complexity
If a single charging circuit is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different charging phases deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The charging circuit incorporates a transfer switch that dynamically switches between the first and second charging circuits based on real-time voltage difference detection. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to adjust its charging characteristics according to different charging phases (pre-charging vs. fast charging), improving versatility while maintaining manageable complexity through automated control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key electrical parameters by switching between two distinct charging circuits with different voltage and impedance characteristics. The first circuit operates at lower voltage (5V) with higher impedance for pre-charging, while the second circuit operates at higher voltage (12V) with lower impedance for fast charging. This parameter change strategy enables the system to adapt to different charging phases without requiring a completely different circuit design.
3Reliability
If high impedance charging circuit is used, then safety and protection are improved, but charging efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The charging system is segmented into two circuits with different impedance characteristics. The first charging circuit with higher impedance provides enhanced safety and protection during pre-charging phases, while the second charging circuit with lower impedance delivers higher charging efficiency during fast charging phases. This segmentation allows the system to prioritize safety when needed and efficiency when appropriate.
Solution Approach 2:
The transfer switch enables dynamic switching between the high-impedance first charging circuit and the low-impedance second charging circuit based on real-time voltage difference detection. During pre-charging when safety is paramount, the high-impedance circuit is used. When the voltage difference exceeds the threshold and fast charging is appropriate, the system dynamically switches to the low-impedance circuit for improved efficiency.

AI summary
A charging circuit is disclosed, which relates to the field of charging technologies. The charging circuit includes a protection circuit (12) and a charging control switch (13) connected in series, and a transfer switch (112). The transfer switch (112) is configured to switch to a first charging circuit by connecting to the protection circuit (12), and switch to a second charging circuit by connecting to the charging control switch (13). A maximum charging voltage of the first charging circuit is lower than a maximum charging voltage of the second charging circuit. The invention may enable the battery to be charged by two charging circuits, in which the second charging circuit has a larger maximum charging voltage and a smaller impedance than the first charging circuit, thus improving the charging efficiency.
