Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If voltage data is monitored in real-time using conventional methods, then the battery management system can detect faults, but false alarms and missed faults occur due to inability to identify adjacent cell acquisition anomalies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefault detection accuracyVSAvoidanomaly identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the voltage time series data into different components (trend component, seasonal component, residual component) using decomposition methods. This segmentation allows the system to analyze different aspects of the data separately, improving the ability to distinguish between normal variations and actual anomalies in adjacent cell voltage acquisitions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of analysis by calculating the difference between adjacent cell voltages and analyzing this difference series separately. This dimensional transformation enables the system to detect acquisition anomalies that are not apparent in the original voltage data, thereby improving anomaly identification accuracy without compromising fault detection reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the BMS monitors all cell voltages continuously, then safety can be ensured, but storage limitations prevent effective anomaly identification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety monitoring capabilityVSAvoiddata storage capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features from the raw voltage data, specifically the difference series between adjacent cells and the decomposed components. By storing and analyzing only these extracted features rather than the complete raw data, the system maintains safety monitoring capability while significantly reducing storage requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the raw voltage data into different parameter representations (difference values, decomposed components) that capture the essential information needed for anomaly detection. This parameter transformation allows the system to monitor all cell voltages continuously for safety while using compact representations for anomaly identification, thus managing storage limitations effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If single rule anomaly detection is used, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot identify acquisition anomalies in various cases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanomaly detection simplicityVSAvoidanomaly identification coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops a multi-functional anomaly detection framework that combines multiple detection methods (decomposition-based detection, difference series detection, statistical threshold detection) into a unified system. This universal approach can handle various types of anomalies (acquisition failures, voltage jumps, sensor faults) while maintaining relatively simple implementation through standardized processing steps

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite anomaly detection strategy that combines multiple detection approaches and analysis methods. By integrating different detection techniques (time series decomposition, difference analysis, statistical methods) into a composite framework, the system achieves broad anomaly identification coverage while keeping each individual component relatively simple and easy to implement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
