Solution Overview

Problem

Mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs) face issues with back introduction of electromagnetic wave noise into the ignition (IG) system, leading to malfunctions in electronic components, despite attempts to bypass this noise using CLC filters, which often introduce more noise.

Innovation Solution

An electromagnetic wave back introduction blocking module is proposed, comprising a front capacitor module, a central coil module, and a rear capacitor module connected in series between the IG system and the converter, utilizing capacitors and coils to block noise introduced from the ground and converter, effectively reducing electromagnetic wave noise.

Solution Approach 1:

The filter is divided into three distinct modules (front capacitor module, central coil module, rear capacitor module) connected in series. Each module performs a specific function in the noise filtering process, allowing progressive attenuation of electromagnetic wave noise without introducing additional IG noise, thereby resolving the contradiction between noise reduction and noise introduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different components with specific local characteristics are used in each module: capacitor parts for high-frequency noise filtering and coil parts for electromagnetic interference suppression. This localized functional differentiation enables effective noise blocking at each stage while maintaining system stability and preventing IG noise generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filtering function is segmented into three modular units that can be independently designed, analyzed, and implemented. This segmentation makes the complex noise filtering task manageable while maintaining a clear structural organization that reduces overall system complexity compared to a monolithic filter design.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The filter modules serve multiple functions: they block electromagnetic wave noise, prevent IG noise introduction, and maintain signal integrity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby managing device complexity while achieving comprehensive noise protection.
