Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If new energy vehicles use power battery technology, then driving range is limited, but charging infrastructure coverage is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving rangeVSAvoidcharging infrastructure coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a charging connection device as an intermediary component that enables direct DC power transfer between vehicles. This mediator includes a discharging gun head, charging gun head, high voltage cable, and control module, allowing power to be transferred without traditional charging infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables vehicles to serve each other's charging needs through V2V DC charging. A discharging vehicle with sufficient power can directly charge a charging vehicle that needs power, creating a self-sufficient system that doesn't rely on external charging infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of energy

If V2V DC charging uses generator directly without on-board charger, then conversion efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversion efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the charging function from the traditional on-board charger and relocates it to the charging connection device. The on-board charger is eliminated entirely, and its charging function is performed by the external charging connection device with generator direct coupling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The charging connection device serves multiple functions: it acts as a power transfer interface, a control unit for handshake protocols, and a simulation of charging pile functionality. This multi-functional design consolidates what would otherwise require separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If charging connection device simulates charging pile, then compatibility improves, but communication protocol complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging compatibilityVSAvoidcommunication protocol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The charging connection device copies the functionality and communication interface of a standard charging pile. It simulates the charging pile's handshake protocol and parameter configuration, allowing the vehicle to interact with the V2V system as if connecting to traditional infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
