Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If electromagnetic interference filtering is enhanced to improve detection accuracy, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary signal processing system between the high-voltage loop and the detection device. This includes a voltage division circuit that steps down high-voltage signals, followed by differential amplification circuits that amplify the divided signals, and finally subtraction circuits that compute the difference to obtain the current value. This multi-stage intermediary processing effectively filters electromagnetic interference while maintaining detection accuracy without requiring direct high-voltage connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct magnetic field sensing (which is susceptible to electromagnetic interference) with an electrical voltage division and differential amplification system. By converting the current measurement problem into a voltage measurement problem through ohm's law (V=IR), the system uses electrical circuit elements rather than magnetic sensors, thereby avoiding electromagnetic interference while achieving accurate current detection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If voltage division ratio is increased to extend current measurement range, then adaptability improves, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic voltage division ratio adjustment mechanism that allows the system to adapt to different current measurement ranges. The voltage division circuit can switch between different division ratios based on the expected current magnitude, enabling the system to maintain high measurement precision across a wide range of current values. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between measurement range and precision by optimizing the division ratio for each specific measurement scenario.
