Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the power battery is disconnected, then the system can operate independently of the battery, but the voltage output by the motor during power generation becomes uncontrollable and fluctuates greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a voltage stabilizing circuit as an intermediary component between the motor and the DC-DC converter. This circuit actively regulates the voltage output from the motor, preventing fluctuations from reaching the DC-DC converter. The stabilizing circuit acts as a mediator that decouples the voltage instability issue from the rest of the system, allowing the power battery to be disconnected while maintaining stable operation.
2Power
If brake rectification mode is adopted, then the system can handle high counter electromotive force, but the output voltage cannot be controlled when power battery is disconnected
Solution Approach 1:
The voltage stabilizing circuit serves as an intermediary that sits between the brake rectification mode and the DC-DC converter. It allows the system to operate in brake rectification mode for handling high counter electromotive force while simultaneously regulating the output voltage to remain controllable and stable, even when the power battery is disconnected.
Solution Approach 2:
The voltage stabilizing circuit dynamically adjusts operating parameters such as switching duty cycle and rectification mode to maintain controlled output voltage. By changing these parameters in real-time based on system conditions, the circuit ensures that both high counter electromotive force and controlled output voltage can coexist.
3Ease of operation
If uncontrollable rectification is adopted, then the system can operate without voltage control, but the loss is very large
Solution Approach 1:
The voltage stabilizing circuit acts as an intermediary that maintains operational simplicity while reducing energy losses. It provides automatic voltage regulation without requiring complex manual intervention, and by stabilizing the voltage before it reaches the DC-DC converter, it prevents the large losses that would otherwise occur during uncontrolled rectification.
