Problem

Wireless charging technology has limited heat dissipation capabilities, leading to high heat generation in electronic devices, especially when the device is fully charged and still connected to the wireless charger.

Innovation Solution

A power supply method that determines the charging state and current temperature of an electronic device, and supplies power by using both the wireless charging device and the battery when the battery is fully charged and the temperature exceeds a preset threshold.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless charging device is used to charge battery, then charging convenience is improved, but heat generation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging convenienceVSAvoidheat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between wireless charging mode and wired charging mode based on temperature conditions. When temperature exceeds the threshold after full charge, it transitions from wireless to wired charging, making the charging system adaptable to thermal conditions rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the charging parameter by switching charging modes (wireless to wired) based on temperature parameters. This parameter change allows the system to optimize between convenience and heat generation by selecting appropriate charging modes under different thermal conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Duration of action of stationary object

If wireless charging device remains connected after full charge, then power supply continuity is improved, but heat generation exceeds standard

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply continuityVSAvoidheat generation exceeding standard
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback control by continuously monitoring temperature during charging. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold after full charge, the system receives feedback and automatically switches from wireless to wired charging mode, maintaining power supply while controlling heat generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts the wireless charging function when temperature conditions are not met, separating it from the charging process and replacing it with wired charging. This extraction allows the system to eliminate the heat generation issue while maintaining power supply continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Temperature

If battery is used to supply power, then heat generation is reduced, but battery power is consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat generationVSAvoidbattery power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses periodic action by switching between wireless charging and battery power supply based on temperature conditions. During low-temperature periods, wireless charging is used; during high-temperature periods after full charge, battery power is used, creating a periodic switching pattern that balances heat generation and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
