Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate power and communications modules are used to transmit power signal and control signal independently, then wireless charging and control functions are achieved, but hardware structure becomes complex and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power signal and control signal into a single composite signal that is transmitted through a single antenna. The transmit end integrates the power module and communications module functions into one transmission path, while the receive end separates these functions from the received composite signal. This merging eliminates the need for separate transmit antennas and reduces hardware complexity while maintaining both wireless charging and control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The single composite signal transmission path serves multiple functions: it simultaneously carries both power transfer and control information. The transmit antenna is used universally for both power signal transmission and control signal transmission, reducing the number of components needed while achieving multiple objectives of wireless energy transfer and device control.
2Reliability
If separate power module and communications module are used, then power signal and control signal can be transmitted independently, but transmission path becomes complex and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the separate transmission paths for power signals and control signals into a single composite signal transmission path. The transmit end combines both signals into one waveform for transmission through a single antenna, and the receive end separates them upon reception. This reduces the transmission path complexity from two independent paths to one integrated path while maintaining signal integrity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two independent signal transmission paths are used for power and control, then functions are fully implemented, but hardware structure is complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two independent transmission paths into one by merging power and control signals into a composite signal. The transmit end uses a single antenna and integrated modulation approach, while the receive end uses a single receiving path with separation functionality. This maintains full adaptability for both charging and control while reducing hardware structure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The single transmission path is designed to be universal, handling both power transfer and control communication functions. The composite signal structure allows the same transmission infrastructure to serve multiple purposes, eliminating the need for dedicated separate paths and reducing overall system complexity.
