Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate thermal management systems are configured for each module (energy storage battery, charging module, liquid-cooling charging cable), then each module can be independently controlled, but the overall equipment cost increases and temperature control efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate thermal management systems into a unified thermal management system that can control multiple modules (energy storage battery, charging module, liquid-cooling charging cable) through a single integrated platform. This reduces system complexity and cost while maintaining comprehensive temperature control capability across all modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified thermal management system is designed with multi-functionality to handle temperature control for different modules simultaneously. It can dynamically adjust control strategies based on the operating states of various components, making a single system serve multiple purposes that previously required separate dedicated systems.
2Reliability
If separate thermal management systems are configured for each module, then each module receives dedicated attention, but temperature control efficiency and cost-effectiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By combining multiple thermal management functions into one unified system, the patent achieves coordinated control that improves overall temperature management efficiency. The system can optimize resource allocation and control strategies across modules, preventing the inefficiencies associated with multiple independent systems operating in isolation.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified thermal management system enables continuous and coordinated temperature control across all modules based on their real-time operating states. This continuous optimization of thermal management resources improves efficiency by ensuring that cooling or heating actions are taken at the right time and with the right intensity for each module.
