Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a capacitor is used to generate output voltage, then noise is reduced, but the output voltage cannot be quickly stabilized

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovenoiseVSAvoidstabilization time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The charging circuit charges the capacitor in advance before the output is needed, so that when voltage stabilization is required, the capacitor is already prepared and can immediately begin stabilizing the output voltage without delay, thus reducing the overall stabilization time while maintaining noise reduction benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The charging circuit operates periodically to recharge the capacitor as needed, maintaining the capacitor's charge level over time. This periodic charging ensures the capacitor is always ready to provide noise filtering while allowing the system to respond quickly to voltage stabilization needs without continuous power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a capacitor with large capacitance is used, then noise reduction is improved, but the stabilization time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovenoiseVSAvoidstabilization time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The charging circuit pre-charges the large capacitance capacitor before it is needed for output stabilization. This preliminary action allows the system to benefit from the noise reduction of large capacitance without suffering from the slow response time that would normally result from charging a large capacitor during operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The charging circuit acts as an intermediary between the power source and the capacitor, managing the charge transfer in advance. This intermediary function allows the large capacitor to be fully charged and ready for immediate use in noise reduction and voltage stabilization, decoupling the capacitance value from the stabilization time penalty

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
