Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional power supplies for electrical devices, such as battery packs, lack networked communication functions, making them unintelligent and difficult to control remotely, especially in outdoor leisure scenarios where manual operation is required.
Innovation Solution
A remote control power supply system that includes a battery or battery pack, a wireless communication unit, and a control unit, allowing for wireless communication with a cloud or mobile device to receive power-on instructions and control the electrical device remotely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If traditional battery packs are used without networked communication functions, then the device structure remains simple and cost-effective, but the power supply cannot be controlled remotely and lacks intelligence
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only supplies power but also includes wireless communication capabilities (WiFi/Bluetooth modules) and control units that can receive remote instructions. This multi-functionality allows the same device to serve both as a power source and as a remotely controllable intelligent unit, resolving the contradiction between automation and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A control unit is introduced as an intermediary component between the battery pack and the electrical device. This control unit receives power-on/power-off instructions from remote devices via wireless communication and executes the corresponding control actions on the electrical device, enabling remote control without requiring direct manual operation on the device itself.
2Ease of operation
If manual operation is required to control power supply, then the device structure remains simple, but user convenience deteriorates especially in outdoor scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual operation system with an electronic/wireless communication system. Instead of requiring physical presence and manual switching, the battery pack incorporates wireless communication modules (WiFi/Bluetooth) and control units that receive and execute remote digital instructions, substituting mechanical interaction with electronic communication for improved convenience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If wireless communication modules are added to battery packs, then intelligent remote control is enabled, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is designed as a universal platform that integrates multiple functions: power supply, wireless communication (both WiFi and Bluetooth modes), and remote control capabilities. By making the battery pack itself multi-functional rather than adding separate systems, the patent reduces overall system complexity and manufacturing difficulty while maintaining intelligent control versatility.
