Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If wireless power transmission is implemented, then convenience and aesthetic appearance are improved, but system complexity and detection requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of power supplyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic detection and alignment between the power supplying device and power receiving device without requiring manual intervention. The detecting module automatically identifies the receiving device, and the driving module automatically adjusts positioning, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminating complex manual configuration procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical cable connections with wireless electromagnetic field-based power transmission. The power supplying device uses electromagnetic radiation to transmit power without physical contact, substituting the mechanical plugging and unplugging of cables with a contactless electromagnetic coupling system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If automatic alignment and detection functions are added, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic alignment capabilityVSAvoiddetection and control module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into integrated modules: the detecting module handles both detection and initial alignment, while the driving module handles positioning adjustment. This merging of functions reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate independent systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where the detecting module continuously monitors the position and connection status between transmitting and receiving devices, and the driving module adjusts positioning based on this feedback information. This closed-loop control enables automatic alignment without requiring complex manual intervention systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A wireless power transmission system is provided, which includes a power supplying device and a power receiving device. The power supplying device electrically connects to an outside supply terminal and has a wireless transmission module. The power receiving device has a wireless receiving module. Wherein, the power supplying device connects to the wireless receiving module via the wireless transmission module and transmits a power from the outside supply terminal to the power receiving device, after the power supplying device detects the wireless receiving module via the wireless transmission module. Alternatively, after the power receiving device detects the wireless transmission module via the wireless receiving module, the power receiving device connects to the wireless transmission module via the wireless receiving module so as to receive the power transmitted by the power supplying device.
