Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a voltage stabilizing element (capacitor) is used to stabilize voltage, then voltage stability is improved, but the circuit becomes vulnerable to short circuits and operational failure under environmental stress or pulse current surges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage stabilityVSAvoidshort circuit vulnerability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a control circuit as an intermediary between the voltage stabilizing element and the power supply module. This control circuit monitors the operating state of the stabilizing element and dynamically adjusts its connection to the power supply based on detected abnormalities, thereby protecting the circuit while maintaining voltage stability during normal operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic control of the voltage stabilizing element's connection state. The control circuit changes the connection state from connected to disconnected based on the operating state detection, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions and protect against short circuits while maintaining voltage stability when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the voltage stabilizing element remains continuously connected to stabilize voltage, then voltage stability is maintained, but the circuit cannot respond to abnormal states or pulse current surges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage stabilityVSAvoidresponse to abnormal states
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control circuit continuously monitors the operating state of the voltage stabilizing element and adjusts the connection state accordingly. When abnormal states are detected, the control circuit disconnects the stabilizing element to protect the circuit, and can reconnect it when normal operation is restored, providing both stability and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The control circuit is configured to detect abnormal operating states before they cause damage and proactively disconnect the voltage stabilizing element from the power supply module. This preliminary protective action prevents short circuits and pulse current surges from damaging the circuit while maintaining the ability to restore voltage stabilization when conditions improve

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
