Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional grounding methods do not effectively remove induced voltage from metal parts in inductive loads, leading to unnecessary current flow and potential electric shocks, as they only address static electricity and do not completely eliminate induced signals.

Innovation Solution

An induced signal removing circuit with an input terminal connected to the metal part and two output terminals connected to the inductive load, utilizing a signal flow controller with diodes to direct induced signals in one direction, ensuring they are fed back into the inductive load and not allowed to cause counter electromotive forces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If grounding method is used to remove induced voltage, then static electricity voltage is removed, but induced voltage signals are not completely eliminated and are only absorbed by ripple filter or discharged through housing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinduced voltage removal effectivenessVSAvoidinduced voltage energy dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by detecting the induced voltage signal on the metal part and feeding back a compensating signal through the signal flow controller to cancel out the induced voltage. This active feedback mechanism completely eliminates induced voltage rather than merely dissipating it, resolving the contradiction between removal effectiveness and energy loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The signal flow controller acts as an intermediary device that manages the flow of induced voltage signals. It controls the direction and path of induced signals, allowing them to be constructively utilized or safely directed, thereby achieving complete removal while managing energy dissipation efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If grounding method is used, then induced voltage is absorbed by ripple filter or discharged through housing making it undetectable, but induced current still flows causing potential electric shock

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinduced voltage detection capabilityVSAvoidinduced current flow
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback mechanism continuously monitors the metal part's voltage and actively compensates to maintain it at ground potential. This prevents induced current flow by eliminating the voltage differential that drives current, while keeping the system detectable and controllable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the induced voltage signal itself to generate the compensating signal needed to cancel it out. The metal part's induced voltage is fed back through the signal flow controller to create an equal and opposite signal, achieving self-cancellation and preventing harmful current flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Object-affected harmful factors

If induced voltage is not removed, then potential difference generates induced current causing electric shock risk, but removing induced voltage completely requires immediate action after generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectric shock riskVSAvoidinduced voltage removal timing
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The signal flow controller continuously operates to detect and cancel induced voltage signals as they are generated. This continuous action ensures immediate removal of induced voltage without time delay, preventing electric shock risk while maintaining constant protection throughout operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The real-time feedback mechanism detects induced voltage immediately upon generation and instantly applies compensating signals. This continuous feedback loop ensures no time lag between induced voltage generation and its removal, eliminating electric shock risk without time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
