Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multi-terminal charging devices face issues with low wireless charging efficiency, excessive heat generation, and insufficient charging compatibility, leading to reduced charging rates, especially for devices with large battery capacities, due to the deception of power supply and voltage limitations that prevent the use of fast charging protocols.

Innovation Solution

A fast charging device with multiple intelligent terminals is designed, incorporating an input power management circuit, deception circuit, and boost-buck management circuits, which allow for selective connection to either a fast charging or non-fast charging protocol module, enabling stable and efficient wired and wireless charging through a combination of DC-DC boost-buck management circuits and protocol identification chips.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless charging mode is used for multiple terminals, then charging convenience is improved, but charging efficiency deteriorates and heat generation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging convenienceVSAvoidcharging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The charging system is segmented into independent charging paths for different terminal types (mobile phones, tablets, wearables). Each path has dedicated power management circuits that can independently negotiate and execute fast charging protocols, allowing simultaneous fast charging of multiple devices without energy loss from protocol deception or voltage conversion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If deception power supply is used to ensure terminal safety, then device safety is improved, but fast charging capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice safetyVSAvoidfast charging capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The power management system dynamically adapts to different terminal types and charging requirements. Protocol identification chips automatically detect the connected device type and activate appropriate fast charging protocols (QC, PD, AFC, FCP) without deception. The system maintains safety through real-time monitoring and dynamic voltage/current adjustment based on actual terminal needs, enabling both safety and fast charging capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If default voltage is stabilized at 5V for compatibility, then charging safety is improved, but charging rate deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging safetyVSAvoidcharging rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes voltage and current parameters dynamically based on the detected terminal type and supported protocols. Instead of stabilizing at fixed 5V, the power management circuits negotiate and adjust parameters in real-time to match terminal requirements, enabling fast charging at higher voltages (9V, 12V, 20V) when supported, while maintaining safety through protocol-compliant parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Adaptability or versatility

If hybrid wired and wireless charging base is used, then charging versatility is improved, but charging efficiency deteriorates compared to direct fast charging adapter

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The charging base integrates multiple charging functions (wired fast charging, wireless charging, protocol identification) into a universal platform. Protocol identification chips automatically recognize terminal types and activate appropriate charging modes, enabling the single device to serve multiple terminal types efficiently without energy loss from voltage conversion or protocol deception, matching the efficiency of direct fast charging adapters.
