Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If plug-and-socket connectors and T-pieces are used for power supply, then reliable electrical connection is achieved, but device complexity and installation cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical plug-and-socket connector system with an inductive coupling system using primary and secondary windings. This substitution eliminates the need for physical electrical contacts while maintaining reliable power transmission through magnetic coupling, thereby reducing device complexity and installation requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and removes the T-pieces and intermediate distribution boxes from the power supply system. By implementing direct inductive coupling between primary conductors on the network side and secondary windings on the load side, the system eliminates unnecessary intermediate components, simplifying the overall wiring architecture.
2Reliability
If plug-and-socket connectors are used, then electrical connection is established, but installation time and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces time-consuming mechanical connector installation with a non-contact inductive coupling system. The primary conductors and secondary windings can be positioned and coupled inductively without requiring precise mechanical alignment, plug insertion, or socket engagement, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining reliable power supply.
3Power
If conventional wiring with exposed contacts is used, then power delivery is achieved, but safety hazards and electromagnetic interference occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces exposed electrical contacts with enclosed inductive coupling components. The primary conductors and secondary windings are housed within protective enclosures, eliminating exposed contacts that cause leakage currents and electromagnetic interference. Power is delivered through magnetic coupling without direct electrical contact, enhancing safety and reducing electromagnetic pollution.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses protective housings and enclosures to contain the primary and secondary windings. These protective shells prevent exposure of electrical components, isolating the magnetic coupling system from the environment and preventing leakage currents while maintaining effective power transfer through the enclosed inductive interface.
4Power
If T-pieces and distribution boxes are used, then power distribution is achieved, but manufacturing and installation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes T-pieces and distribution boxes from the power distribution architecture. By implementing direct inductive coupling between primary conductors and secondary windings, the system eliminates the need for intermediate distribution infrastructure, reducing manufacturing costs and simplifying the overall system design while maintaining full power distribution capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The inductive coupling system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides power transmission, eliminates the need for separate distribution boxes, reduces installation complexity, and enhances safety. This multi-functional approach replaces several separate components with a single integrated solution, reducing overall manufacturing costs.
