Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If an integrated chip is used to acquire and diagnose motor position, then the diagnosis process is simple, but the diagnosis accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis process simplicityVSAvoiddiagnosis accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the motor position diagnosis system into separate functional modules: an excitation conditioning circuit for signal generation, a motor resolver unit for signal processing, a sine and cosine conditioning circuit for signal conditioning, and a master chip for analog-to-digital conversion and calculation. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall diagnosis accuracy while maintaining operational simplicity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a simple diagnosis process is used, then the system is easy to operate, but the reliability of subsequent safety control is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis process simplicityVSAvoidsafety control reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the monitoring core continuously receives digital signals from the motor resolver unit and performs real-time diagnosis. The system calculates motor angles based on sine and cosine signals and feeds this information back to the controller, enabling continuous monitoring and verification of motor position, thereby improving safety control reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary monitoring core that acts as a mediator between the motor resolver unit and the controller. This monitoring core performs dedicated diagnosis functions, processing sine and cosine digital signals to determine motor angles and detect abnormalities, thereby enhancing the reliability of safety control without complicating the overall system operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If separate calculation and diagnosis of motor angle are performed, then the diagnosis accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into an integrated master chip that performs analog-to-digital conversion, sine and cosine signal processing, motor angle calculation, and diagnosis functions. By merging these functions into a single chip, the system achieves high diagnosis accuracy through separate calculation and diagnosis processes while minimizing device complexity through integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
