Solution Overview

Problem

The existing induction type power supply systems face challenges in achieving fast and stable power adjustments, leading to inefficient power control and increased power loss, particularly when handling varying loads and operating at higher frequencies, which results in wear and tear on driving elements.

Innovation Solution

The method involves using a supplying-end module with a processor, delay generator, and power driver units to adjust the phase shift between driving signals, detecting peak locations and deviation rates to optimize output power, allowing for rapid power adjustments and reduced power loss by varying the phase relations of the driving signals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If the operating frequency is adjusted to control output power, then power control is achieved, but the response time is slow and stability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput powerVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the phase shift quantity between driving signals as a control parameter instead of adjusting operating frequency. This allows rapid power adjustment by modifying phase relationships rather than frequency, achieving both fast response and stable output power control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the frequency-based control mechanism with a phase-shift-based control mechanism. By using phase shift quantity as the control variable, the system achieves faster response time while maintaining power control capability, eliminating the slow response inherent in frequency adjustment methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of energy

If the operating frequency is increased to reduce output power, then power consumption is reduced, but the life of driving elements decreases due to wear and tear

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the control parameter from operating frequency to phase shift quantity. By adjusting the phase shift between driving signals, the system can reduce output power and power loss without increasing operating frequency, thereby avoiding the wear and tear that would reduce the life of driving elements.
