Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the conventional receiver stores electrical energy in an energy storage element before outputting to the energy consuming device, then the receiver can provide stable power supply, but the electrical energy loss increases and energy usage efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestable power supplyVSAvoidelectrical energy loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the energy transfer process into two distinct modes: a first mode where energy flows directly from the RF generator module to the energy consuming device, and a second mode where energy flows through the energy storage element. The energy management module dynamically selects between these segments based on power conditions, thereby reducing unnecessary energy loss while maintaining stable power supply when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic energy transfer by allowing the energy management module to switch between different energy transfer paths based on real-time power conditions. When the RF generator module's output power is sufficient, direct transfer is used; when insufficient, the energy storage element is engaged. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between energy efficiency and power stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If the conventional receiver always performs electrical energy transfer twice through the energy storage element, then the receiver can maintain consistent operation, but the energy usage efficiency becomes low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistent operationVSAvoidenergy usage efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static, fixed energy transfer path into a dynamic system where the energy management module adjusts the transfer path based on real-time power conditions. This dynamic approach maintains operational consistency through intelligent control while improving energy usage efficiency by avoiding unnecessary double transfer when the RF generator module can directly satisfy the power demand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters of the energy transfer system by introducing conditional logic based on power output levels. The energy management module monitors power parameters and adjusts the transfer configuration accordingly, switching between direct transfer and stored transfer modes to optimize energy usage efficiency while maintaining consistent operation.
