Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the drive frequency of the inverter within a wide range (e.g., 20-100 kHz) while simultaneously modifying other operating parameters to maintain output stability. The system changes frequency as a primary parameter to disperse noise, while compensating through control mechanisms to preserve voltage stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback control where the output voltage is continuously monitored and fed back to the control system. This feedback mechanism allows the system to detect voltage deviations caused by frequency changes and automatically adjust control parameters to maintain stable output voltage despite frequency variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Object-generated harmful factors

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by extending the frequency modulation range beyond conventional limits while adjusting duty cycle, pulse width, or other inverter parameters in coordination. This coordinated parameter adjustment allows wide frequency dispersion (improving noise reduction) while compensating for output voltage fluctuations through real-time parameter optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from static frequency operation to dynamic frequency modulation. The drive frequency is continuously or periodically varied within a wide range, and the system dynamically adapts other parameters (such as PWM duty cycle) to maintain output stability despite the increased frequency variation width.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from discrete frequency switching to continuous or near-continuous frequency modulation. The inverter can operate at any frequency within a wide continuous range rather than being restricted to predetermined discrete frequencies, greatly enhancing adaptability while effectively dispersing noise across a broader spectrum.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous parameter changes in the drive frequency, allowing smooth adjustment across a wide frequency spectrum. This continuous parameter variation approach replaces discrete frequency steps, enabling versatile frequency selection and optimal noise dispersion without being constrained to fixed frequency points.
