Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a conventional AC signal injection method is used to detect insulation resistance, then the detection can be performed with a simple circuit structure, but the voltage signal variation is insufficient when insulation resistance varies within a resistance range, leading to reduced measurement precision
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the output frequency of the signal generation module based on the detected insulation resistance value. When insulation resistance is high, the frequency is lowered to increase voltage signal variation across the isolation module and voltage division resistor, thereby improving measurement precision without requiring complex circuit modifications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the signal generation frequency adaptive rather than fixed. The system continuously monitors insulation resistance and adjusts the AC signal frequency in real-time, allowing the detection circuit to optimize its operating parameters dynamically based on the actual insulation conditions, thus achieving high precision across varying resistance ranges
2Measurement precision
If the output frequency of the signal generation module is fixed, then the device operation is simple, but the voltage signal variation between the isolation module and voltage division resistor is insufficient when insulation resistance varies, reducing detection accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by implementing an automatic frequency adjustment mechanism where the signal generation module autonomously changes its output frequency based on feedback from the insulation resistance detection. The system self-regulates the frequency to optimize voltage signal variation, eliminating the need for manual frequency adjustment and maintaining ease of operation while improving detection accuracy
3Measurement precision
If a low frequency AC signal is injected to increase voltage signal variation, then the measurement precision improves, but the detection time increases due to the longer period required for accurate measurement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction through dynamic frequency adjustment. Instead of using a consistently low frequency that would slow down detection, the system adaptively selects frequency values based on current insulation resistance levels. This allows the system to achieve sufficient voltage signal variation for accurate measurement while minimizing the measurement time by using the lowest necessary frequency at any given moment

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a parameter selection method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium for an insulation detection circuit. The parameter selection method includes determining (601) an allowable injection frequency range of an AC signal to be injected, according to a predetermined resistance range of an insulation resistance of the power battery under test and a predetermined resistance calculation cycle of the insulation resistance; and selecting (602) an output frequency of the signal generation module (Y1) according to a lowest frequency to be generated by the signal generation module (Y1) and the allowable injection frequency range. With the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a relatively large variation of the voltage signal between the isolation module (G1) and the voltage division resistor (R1) can be detected when the insulation resistance changes within a predetermined resistance range, and thus the calculation accuracy of the insulation resistance can be improved.
