Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless power supply devices face efficiency reductions due to changes in resonant frequency caused by temporal changes and environmental factors, leading to increased size and complexity of the resonance circuit when adjusting for these changes.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple capacitors are connected to the power transmission coil to adjust resonant frequency changes, then the resonant frequency can be maintained, but the circuit size and structural complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the capacitor connection configuration adjustable rather than fixed. The switch element dynamically connects or disconnects the second end of the capacitor from the first end of the power transmission coil based on detected phase differences, allowing the resonance circuit to adapt to frequency changes without adding multiple permanent capacitors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the electrical parameters of the existing resonance circuit by controlling the switch element to alter the connection state of the capacitor. By changing the connection configuration dynamically, the resonant frequency can be adjusted to compensate for environmental changes without modifying the physical composition of the circuit with additional capacitors.
2Reliability
If the resonant frequency is adjusted to match environmental changes, then power transmission efficiency is maintained, but additional capacitors and switches are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the capacitor connection dynamic through a switch element controlled by phase difference detection. Instead of providing multiple fixed capacitors, the system dynamically adjusts the connection state of the existing capacitor to achieve frequency matching, thereby maintaining efficiency without increasing the quantity of capacitors.
Solution Approach 2:
The resonance circuit performs self-adjustment through the control unit that detects phase differences and automatically controls the switch element to maintain optimal resonant frequency. The system serves itself by using its own existing components (the single capacitor and switch) to compensate for environmental changes without requiring external additions.
