Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication power supply systems face limitations in installation flexibility due to the need for distinct physical hardware configurations for primary, secondary loads, and batteries, which restricts the number and allocation of circuit breakers in function areas.
Innovation Solution
A power distribution module with a signal-driven collection module that connects to circuit breakers without using contactors or current dividers, allowing for flexible hybrid connections and simplified assembly, and a communication power supply system that includes a monitoring module to control and monitor circuit breakers, eliminating distinctions in physical hardware between load types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If distinct physical hardware configurations are used for primary loads, secondary loads, and batteries with matched function areas, then circuit breakers can be limited in quantity and allocated to specific function areas, but installation flexibility is reduced and secondary design and development is required due to user requirements for capacity and quantity of circuit breakers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by using a unified power busbar structure that can accommodate different types of circuit breakers (primary load, secondary load, battery) in any position without requiring distinct physical hardware configurations. The signal-driven collection module universally collects signals from all circuit breakers through the same busbar connection interface, eliminating the need for separate function areas with matched hardware for each load type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the power distribution system into modular circuit breaker units that can be independently installed and configured on the power busbar. Each circuit breaker is a separate, interchangeable component that can be positioned flexibly along the busbar based on user requirements, rather than being fixed in predetermined function areas.
2Adaptability or versatility
If copper bars are manufactured into sectional type with matched function areas, then quantity of circuit breakers can be limited in each function area, but installation flexibility is reduced and hybrid connection requirements cause secondary design and development
Solution Approach 1:
The power busbar is designed as a universal connection structure that can accommodate hybrid connections of different circuit breaker types (primary load, secondary load, battery) in any combination and position. The same busbar interface handles all connection types without requiring separate matched function areas, eliminating secondary design requirements.
3Reliability
If circuit breakers are installed in matched function areas with specific capacity and quantity requirements, then power distribution can be controlled, but layout flexibility of the power distribution module is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic layout capability where circuit breakers can be freely positioned and repositioned along the power busbar based on changing user requirements. The signal-driven collection module dynamically adapts to collect signals from circuit breakers regardless of their position or quantity, maintaining reliable power distribution control while maximizing layout flexibility.
