VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a portable standby starting device is used to enable vehicle ignition when battery is depleted, then the reliability of vehicle starting is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple circuits (battery circuit, load access detecting circuit, vehicle starting circuit)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle starting reliabilityVSAvoidcircuit structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The portable standby starting device is divided into three independent functional modules: battery circuit, load access detecting circuit, and vehicle starting circuit. Each module performs a specific function and can be independently designed, tested, and maintained. The battery circuit manages power supply, the load access detecting circuit monitors connection status, and the vehicle starting circuit executes the starting operation, thereby improving reliability through modular architecture while keeping each segment relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The load access detecting circuit performs preliminary detection of the vehicle load connection state before the vehicle starting circuit activates. This preliminary action ensures that the starting current is only output when proper connection is confirmed, preventing erroneous operations and enhancing reliability without requiring complex real-time control systems.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The load access detecting circuit continuously monitors the vehicle load connection state and provides feedback signals to control the vehicle starting circuit. When the detection circuit confirms proper connection, it enables the starting current output; when connection is improper, it blocks the output. This feedback mechanism ensures safe operation by preventing starting current discharge unless proper connection is verified, thereby improving ignition safety without requiring complex control algorithms.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The load access detecting circuit automatically performs detection and control functions without requiring external intervention or complex processing. The circuit self-monitors the connection state and self-regulates the starting current output based on detection results, providing simple yet effective safety control through autonomous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
