Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an active radio-identification module with electrical cables is integrated into the connection member, then communication between the filling station and vehicle is enabled, but safety risks and reliability issues arise due to direct electrical connections in high-pressure flammable gas environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical electrical cable connection system with an electromagnetic field-based wireless communication system. The active radio-identification module in the housing generates a magnetic field that communicates with the passive radio-identification module in the connection member without requiring direct electrical contact, thereby eliminating the safety risks associated with electrical cables in flammable gas environments while maintaining communication reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a magnetic field as an intermediary medium to transfer information and energy between the housing and connection member. The active radio-identification module generates the magnetic field, which serves as the intermediary carrier for power and data transmission to the passive module, replacing the direct electrical connection and eliminating the need for electrical cables in the connection member
2Ease of operation
If electrical cables are integrated into the transfer line for power supply and control, then the active radio-identification module can be powered and controlled, but the device complexity increases and failure sources multiply
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical electrical cable integration system with an electromagnetic field-based wireless power and control system. The active radio-identification module in the housing generates a magnetic field that wirelessly powers and controls the passive radio-identification module in the connection member, eliminating the need for electrical cable integration and reducing device complexity while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The passive radio-identification module in the connection member is designed to be self-powered through electromagnetic induction from the active module in the housing. The module automatically receives power and control signals through the magnetic field without requiring external electrical connections, reducing complexity and potential failure points while maintaining full functionality
