Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a boosting circuit is added to the inverter to fill the voltage gap at high motor speeds, then the motor can operate at desired high speeds, but the boosting circuit causes continuous loss even when not operated, canceling out the efficiency benefits of magnetization state control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the boosting circuit from the system by developing an alternative control method that achieves high-speed operation without requiring additional voltage boosting hardware, thereby removing the source of continuous energy loss
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the magnetization state parameter of the motor to enable efficient operation at high speeds without requiring voltage boosting, using controlled demagnetization and remagnetization strategies to maintain performance while avoiding the boosting circuit loss
2Force
If pulse current is applied to increase magnetization level for higher torque output, then the motor can accelerate the vehicle, but the induced voltage increases to high voltage levels where the inverter can no longer provide enough voltage to drive the motor at desired speed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the magnetization state of the motor during operation, allowing the system to transition between different magnetization levels to optimize both torque output and speed capability, avoiding the static high-voltage limitation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic magnetization and demagnetization cycles to maintain optimal performance, using controlled pulse currents followed by demagnetization phases to prevent voltage buildup while maintaining torque capability
