VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless charging coil is used for charging, then wireless charging function is achieved, but heating is generated reducing charging speed and service life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless charging functionVSAvoidcharging temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

A semiconductor refrigeration sheet is introduced as an intermediary component between the wireless charging coil and the radiating mechanism. The refrigeration sheet actively removes heat generated during wireless charging, acting as a mediator that separates the heat generation source from the charging function, thereby maintaining low charging temperature while preserving wireless charging capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat generation aspect is extracted and separated from the wireless charging coil system. By removing heat through the refrigeration sheet and radiating mechanism, the harmful thermal effect is taken out from the charging process, allowing the wireless charging function to operate independently without the negative impact of heat accumulation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Duration of action of stationary object

If cooling structure is added to reduce temperature, then service life is extended, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The cooling function is merged with the existing wireless charging coil structure. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet and radiating mechanism are integrated into the charger body, combining the charging and cooling functions into a unified structure rather than adding separate independent cooling systems, thereby extending service life with minimal increase in overall device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
