Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If fixed gain values are used for vibration reduction torque calculation, then the control system is simple, but vibration reduction performance is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol system complexityVSAvoidvibration reduction performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic gain adjustment by storing multiple gain values in a gain table and selecting appropriate gains based on real-time torque variation and RPM conditions. This allows the vibration reduction torque to be dynamically adapted to changing motor operating conditions, resolving the contradiction between system simplicity and vibration reduction effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter (gain value) based on operating conditions (torque variation and RPM). By storing gain values corresponding to different torque variation ranges and RPM ranges, and selecting the appropriate gain based on current conditions, the system achieves adaptive vibration reduction without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If gains are not adjusted according to torque variation and RPM, then the control calculation is simple, but vibration reduction performance is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol calculation simplicityVSAvoidvibration reduction performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts gain values based on real-time detection of torque variation and RPM. The controller selects appropriate gain values from pre-stored tables based on current operating conditions, enabling adaptive vibration reduction while maintaining relatively simple control logic through table lookup.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by storing multiple gain values corresponding to different torque variation ranges and RPM ranges. The controller determines the current torque variation and RPM, selects the appropriate gain value from the gain table based on these parameters, and applies it for vibration reduction torque calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If fixed gain values are used without considering resonance areas, then the control system is simple, but resonance vibrations may be caused or exacerbated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol system complexityVSAvoidresonance vibration
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent stores different gain values in the gain table corresponding to different RPM ranges, including resonance areas. When the motor operates in resonance-prone RPM ranges, the controller selects gain values that are appropriate for those conditions, thereby avoiding the exacerbation of resonance vibrations while maintaining simple table-based control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for controlling a vibration of a driving motor in a vehicle by generating a vibration reduction torque using gains that correspond to a torque variation and an RPM of a driving motor. The method includes storing a gain table in which gain values that correspond to a torque variation and a revolution per minute (RPM) of a driving motor in a vehicle are recorded. The torque variation of the driving motor and the RPM of the driving motor are detected. The gain values are determined using the detected torque variation and RPM of the driving motor based on the gain table and reducing. In addition, a vibration of the driving motor is reduced based on the determined gain values.
