Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If the intensity of the wireless power signal transmitted from the wireless power transmitting apparatus increases, then the power transmission efficiency is improved, but distortion occurs in the modulated signal causing communication errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless power signal intensityVSAvoidcommunication reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the modulation depth adjustable and variable. The modulation depth is dynamically adapted based on the intensity of the wireless power signal received. When the power signal intensity increases, the modulation depth is reduced to prevent signal distortion, and when the power signal intensity decreases, the modulation depth is increased to maintain communication effectiveness. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between power transmission efficiency and communication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the modulation depth parameter in response to changes in wireless power signal intensity. By monitoring the power signal strength and adjusting the modulation depth parameter accordingly, the system maintains optimal communication conditions across varying power transmission levels. This parameter adaptation prevents signal distortion at high power levels while ensuring sufficient modulation visibility at lower power levels.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a magnetic field as an intermediary medium for power transmission, eliminating direct physical contact between the charger and battery terminals. The wireless power transmitting apparatus generates a magnetic field that induces current in the wireless power reception device, thereby transferring power without physical connection. This intermediary approach eliminates the fire hazards and instant discharge problems associated with traditional contact-based charging while maintaining effective power transfer.
