Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit is divided into multiple functional modules: voltage detection module, temperature detection module, control module, and execution module. Each module independently performs its specific function, enabling fast response while maintaining modular simplicity in the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The voltage detection module and temperature detection module continuously monitor battery parameters before the starting operation is initiated. This preliminary detection ensures that when the starting signal is received, the system can immediately determine whether conditions are suitable for starting, achieving fast response without complex real-time computation.

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit is segmented into specialized detection and control modules. The voltage detection module monitors battery voltage, the temperature detection module monitors battery temperature, and the control module processes signals and controls the relay. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized for its specific function, improving safety while keeping the overall structure simple and modular.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback through continuous voltage detection and temperature detection. The detection modules constantly monitor battery parameters and provide feedback to the control module, which adjusts the starting control accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures safe operation by preventing starting under unsuitable conditions without requiring complex control logic.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The voltage detection module, temperature detection module, and control module are integrated into a single control circuit system. Multiple protection functions (voltage protection, temperature protection, over-current protection) are combined within this unified circuit, achieving high reliability while avoiding the complexity of separate independent protection systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The control module serves multiple functions: it receives starting signals, processes detection signals from voltage and temperature modules, determines suitability for starting, and controls the relay. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated circuits for each function, maintaining simplicity while providing comprehensive protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
