Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If motor torque filtering is applied to avoid shock and dragging sensation, then riding comfort is improved, but the response speed to regen requests decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamic filtering gradient adjustment by switching between different filtering strategies (first strategy with gradient calculation based on vehicle speed and torque, second strategy with fixed gradient) depending on operating conditions. This allows the system to optimize the balance between smooth torque transitions and rapid response to regeneration requests in real-time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the filtering parameter (filtering gradient) based on vehicle operating conditions such as speed, torque, and driving mode. By adjusting the filtering gradient dynamically, the system achieves both smooth torque transitions for comfort and adequate response speed for energy recovery.
2Ease of operation
If motor torque filtering is applied to avoid vehicle jerk, then driving experience is improved, but fuel consumption increases due to slower regen response
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts filtering intensity based on driving conditions, using lighter filtering when rapid response is needed for energy recovery and heavier filtering when smooth transitions are prioritized. This dynamic adaptation optimizes the trade-off between driving comfort and energy efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The filtering parameters are changed according to operating conditions including vehicle speed, torque magnitude, and driving mode, allowing the system to minimize energy loss while maintaining acceptable driving experience across different scenarios.
3Speed
If distributed motor torque is not filtered or filtering effect is poor, then regen request response is fast, but vehicle jerk occurs due to drastic torque change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic filtering system that adapts its intensity based on real-time operating conditions. The filtering gradient is calculated or selected to provide adequate torque smoothing without excessive delay, maintaining both response speed and torque stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes filtering parameters based on vehicle speed, torque levels, and driving mode to achieve optimal balance between response speed and torque stability for each operating condition.
