Multi-Controller Circuit for Virtual Currency Mining Hashboards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mining machines for virtual currency face limitations in increasing hash rate due to the upper limit of hashboards that a single controller can connect, leading to bottlenecks in managing and maintaining complex cable systems, which poses safety risks and challenges in device management.
Innovation Solution
A control circuit system with a main controller and multiple co-controllers, where each co-controller manages a group of hashboards, allowing coordinated control and task allocation, thereby overcoming the limitation of a single controller's capacity and increasing the number of hashboards, reducing the complexity of cables, and enhancing safety and maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the number of hashboards connected to a single controller is increased, then the hash rate is improved, but the controller interface limit is reached
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the control system into multiple controllers, each managing a subset of hashboards. This segmentation allows the system to exceed the interface limit of a single controller by distributing control responsibilities across multiple controllers, thereby increasing the total number of connectable hashboards and improving overall hash rate.
2Productivity
If the number of data processing devices is increased to achieve higher hash rate, then the hash rate is improved, but the cable complexity and safety risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple control functions into a unified multi-controller system that manages hashboards centrally. This consolidation reduces the number of separate data processing devices needed, thereby reducing cable complexity while maintaining or improving hash rate through coordinated control of multiple hashboard groups.
3Productivity
If more hashboards are connected to increase hash rate, then the hash rate is improved, but the difficulty of managing and maintaining devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-controller system where each controller is designed to manage multiple hashboards with standardized interfaces and control protocols. This universal design simplifies device management and maintenance by providing consistent control mechanisms across the entire system, making it easier to operate and maintain despite the increased number of hashboards.
