Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional control methods are used for electro-hydraulic hybrid braking, then the control system is simple, but time lag cannot be compensated leading to reduced control accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol accuracyVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The Smith predictor performs preliminary prediction of the system's future state based on the current state and model parameters, compensating for time lag before the actual control action is applied. This allows the control system to anticipate and counteract delays in the electro-hydraulic braking response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The controlled autoregressive integrated moving average model continuously processes feedback information from the system, using past outputs and inputs to predict future behavior and adjust control actions, thereby compensating for time lag through iterative refinement of predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Stability of the object's composition

If operation data with noise is used directly, then the processing is simple, but control stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Wavelet denoising extracts the useful signal from noisy operation data by separating it into different frequency components, removing noise while preserving the essential braking characteristics. This extraction process isolates the meaningful information needed for stable control.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The controlled autoregressive integrated moving average model transforms the noisy operation data into smoothed predicted values by changing the temporal parameters and using statistical processing, thereby converting unstable raw data into stable control inputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
