Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle controllers have a large number of parts and poor electric connection reliability due to exposed conductive members, which complicates connections and provides inadequate shielding.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle controller that integrates vehicle control, charge control, and motor control functions into a single control board, featuring a communication module, vehicle control module, charge control module, and motor control module, with electromagnetic shielding and exposed signal plug connectors for reliable signal transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple control assemblies are mounted in separate box bodies, then each control function can be independently implemented, but the number of parts increases and electric connection reliability deteriorates due to exposed conductive members
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple control assemblies (vehicle control, charge control, and motor control functions) into a single integrated control board mounted within one box body. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple separate box bodies and reduces the number of conductive members required for inter-assembly connections, thereby improving electric connection reliability while reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated control board performs multiple control functions simultaneously - vehicle control, charge control, and motor control - making it a universal control unit that replaces multiple specialized control assemblies. This multi-functional design reduces the number of parts while maintaining all necessary control capabilities, directly addressing the contradiction between reliability and complexity.
2Reliability
If conductive members are exposed outside box bodies for connection, then connection accessibility is improved, but shielding effect deteriorates and electric connection reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent nests all conductive members and control assemblies within the enclosed space of a single box body. The conductive members are positioned inside the box rather than exposed externally, allowing the box structure itself to provide electromagnetic shielding. This nesting approach maintains all necessary electrical connections while protecting them from external interference, simultaneously improving reliability and shielding effect.
3Ease of operation
If multiple separate control assemblies are used, then functional independence is maintained, but connection convenience deteriorates due to complex wiring requirements
Solution Approach 1:
By combining multiple control assemblies into one integrated control board, the patent dramatically reduces the number of conductive members needed for connections. Instead of requiring numerous wires and connectors between separate assemblies, the integrated design uses a single control board with direct connections to external components, greatly simplifying the wiring and improving connection convenience.
