Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional virtual currency mining machine operational circuits face inefficiencies in power supply due to increasing heat loss and signal delays, especially when using high-voltage power supplies, which lead to reduced system stability and increased communication errors.

Innovation Solution

The operational circuit is reconfigured with multiple operational chip groups connected in series, each operating within a specific voltage range, and signal forwarding and electrical isolation modules are used to isolate voltage thresholds and facilitate independent task execution, improving power efficiency and reducing signal delays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If high-voltage power supply is used to support more layers of series-connected operational chips, then the number of operational chips that can be supported increases, but voltage balance between operational chips becomes difficult to achieve and communication errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of operational chipsVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the large number of operational chips into multiple groups, with each group connected in series and supported by a dedicated voltage regulation module. This segmentation allows each group to operate within its optimal voltage range while collectively supporting a large number of chips, resolving the contradiction between chip quantity and system stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If more layers of operational chips are connected in series, then more chips can be supported, but signal delay increases and signal synchronization becomes difficult to achieve

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of operational chipsVSAvoidsignal delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting chips into groups with dedicated voltage regulation modules, the signal path is effectively shortened within each group. This reduces cumulative signal delay compared to a single long series chain, while still supporting a large total number of chips across multiple groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If conventional power supply mode with 12V voltage is used, then operational chips can operate normally, but heat loss increases significantly and power supply efficiency cannot be increased

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the voltage parameter by introducing adjustable voltage regulation modules that can optimize the voltage supplied to each group of operational chips. This allows the system to operate at optimal voltage levels, reducing heat loss and improving power supply efficiency while maintaining operational stability.
