Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a digital PLL is used to generate pseudo sine wave excitation waveform from 2-phase excitation, then the excitation waveform can be generated, but the system becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexcitation waveform accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary functional elements from a full sine wave generation system. Instead of using a complete digital PLL circuit, it extracts the essential timing control function and implements it through simple duty ratio measurement and comparison logic, achieving pseudo sine wave generation with minimal system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the control parameter from phase angle (used in digital PLL) to duty ratio. By measuring the duty ratio of the 2-phase excitation waveform and comparing it with reference values, the system generates pseudo sine wave excitation for micro-step control without requiring complex phase locking mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the excitation waveform pattern is fixed, then the control is simple, but it cannot adapt to different motor drive states

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptation by continuously measuring the duty ratio of the current motor drive state and dynamically selecting or adjusting the excitation waveform pattern accordingly. The control device can switch between different excitation patterns (2-phase, micro-step, etc.) based on real-time duty ratio measurements, providing both simplicity and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from duty ratio measurement to automatically adjust the excitation waveform. By measuring the actual duty ratio and comparing it with reference values, the control device can determine the appropriate excitation pattern and make real-time adjustments without complex external intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
