Innovation Solution
A discharging assembly with a three-line structure comprising a first voltage line, a second voltage line, and a neutral line, allowing for the output of AC power with different voltages through a single discharging connector, which includes multiple electrical outlets that can supply AC power with specific voltage configurations, enabling the connection of devices with varying voltage needs without substantial design modifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If two or more discharging ports are provided to output different voltages, then multiple types of AC power with different voltages can be output, but design change becomes significant
Solution Approach 1:
The single discharging port is designed to serve multiple functions by incorporating a three-line structure (first voltage line, second voltage line, and neutral line) that can provide different voltage levels (first voltage and second voltage) through different terminal combinations, eliminating the need for multiple separate discharging ports
2Device complexity
If a single discharging port is used, then design change is suppressed, but it is difficult to drive multiple types of electrical devices with different driving voltages
Solution Approach 1:
The voltage output is segmented into multiple levels by utilizing different terminal combinations within the single discharging port - the first voltage line and second voltage line can be combined with the neutral line to provide different voltage levels, allowing multiple electrical devices with different voltage requirements to be driven simultaneously
