Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If a single type of parallel connection is adopted for battery power supply, then battery life is extended, but power output is limited and cannot support high-power functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic battery connection system that allows switching between parallel and series connections based on power requirements. A control circuit monitors the mouse's power needs and automatically reconfigures the battery connections, transforming a static single-mode system into a dynamic multi-mode system that adapts to different operational demands.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery power supply system is designed to perform multiple functions by supporting both parallel connection mode (for extended battery life in low-power scenarios) and series connection mode (for high power output in high-demand scenarios). This multi-functional design allows the same battery assembly to serve different power requirements without needing separate battery configurations.
2Power
If a single type of series connection is adopted for battery power supply, then power output is enhanced, but battery life is reduced and efficiency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The control circuit dynamically switches between series and parallel battery connections based on real-time power requirements. When high power is needed, series connection is activated; when power consumption is low, parallel connection is engaged to extend battery life. This dynamic adaptation prevents unnecessary power loss and optimizes overall system efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the electrical connection parameters (series vs. parallel) of the battery assembly based on operational requirements. By adjusting the connection configuration parameter, the system optimizes both power output and battery efficiency, preventing the continuous high-power draw that would otherwise reduce battery life and efficiency.
3Device complexity
If a fixed battery connection design is used, then device structure is simple, but adaptability and efficiency are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
A control circuit serves as an intermediary between the battery assembly and the mouse's power consumption requirements. This intermediary component intelligently manages the battery connections, switching between series and parallel configurations based on power needs, thereby adding adaptability without significantly complicating the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery connection system transitions from a static fixed design to a dynamic reconfigurable design. The control circuit enables real-time switching between different connection modes, providing adaptability to various power requirements while maintaining a relatively simple structural implementation through automated control.

AI summary
A switch device includes a positive power terminal, a negative power terminal, a plurality of battery slots and a change-over switch. Each battery slot has a positive battery terminal and a negative battery terminal. The positive battery terminal of a battery slot electrically connects to the positive power terminal. The negative battery terminal of another battery slot electrically connects to the negative power terminal. The change-over switch electrically connects with the positive power terminal, the negative power terminal, the negative battery terminal of the battery slot which electrically connecting to the positive power terminal, and the positive battery terminal of the battery slot which electrically connecting to the negative power terminal. The change-over switch is toggled to connect the battery slots as a parallel connection or a series connection optionally.
