Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional flash break switch on-off detection methods are used, then the detection function is provided, but the detection accuracy is low and detection period is long
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical or simple electronic detection methods with a current transformer-based detection system. The current transformer converts the current signal from the power supply into a measurable voltage signal, enabling accurate and rapid detection of the flash break switch state without mechanical contact or complex circuitry.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a current transformer as an intermediary device between the power supply circuit and the detection circuit. This intermediary component isolates the detection circuit from the high-voltage power supply while accurately transferring the current state information, enabling safe and precise detection.
2Device complexity
If simple detection circuits are used, then the device complexity is reduced, but detection accuracy and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses electromagnetic induction through a current transformer to achieve detection, replacing complex electronic signal processing circuits with a simple yet reliable electromagnetic coupling mechanism. This substitution maintains low circuit complexity while significantly improving detection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The current transformer automatically adapts to different current levels and switch states without requiring external calibration or adjustment. The detection circuit self-regulates by measuring the induced voltage, which naturally corresponds to the power supply current state, eliminating the need for complex reference voltage generation or threshold adjustment circuits.
