Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrotechnical products, such as battery pack chargers and construction site spotlights, face limitations in data monitoring and communication due to the restricted display of monitored data, making it difficult to transmit information over distances and adapt to external interfaces efficiently.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a radio module within the electrotechnical product's housing, which can be permanently or detachably integrated, enabling wireless data transmission via a radio network, and ensuring power supply through either a battery pack or a secondary energy store, allowing for secure and simple data exchange with external interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a monitoring module is used to monitor battery pack charge status, then data monitoring capability is improved, but data transmission distance and external interface communication capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/display-based data monitoring system with a radio communication system. The radio module transmits battery status data wirelessly to external devices, eliminating the need for local display and enabling long-distance communication while maintaining monitoring precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The radio module acts as an intermediary between the battery pack monitoring system and external interfaces. It receives monitoring data from the control unit and transmits it wirelessly to external devices, enabling communication over distance without direct connection.
2Reliability
If a fixedly integrated radio module is used, then communication reliability is improved, but adaptability to different connection scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic configuration where the radio module can be either fixedly integrated or detachably mounted depending on the application requirements. This dynamic design allows the system to adapt between different connection scenarios while maintaining communication reliability through proper integration methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing structure is designed with universal compatibility to accommodate both fixed and detachable radio module configurations. The same housing can support different mounting methods, making the electrotechnical product adaptable to various connection scenarios without requiring completely different designs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a detachable radio module is used, then adaptability and replacement ease are improved, but communication reliability and connection stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The radio module is segmented as a separate, detachable component from the main electrotechnical product. This segmentation allows easy removal and replacement of the radio module while maintaining reliable communication through standardized connection interfaces and proper mounting structures within the housing.
4Ease of manufacture
If wireless radio communication is implemented, then design effort for data transmission is reduced, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex wired data transmission infrastructure with wireless radio communication, reducing design effort for physical connections. The radio module handles all data transmission wirelessly, eliminating the need for additional cables, connectors, and routing while managing power consumption through efficient radio protocols.
