Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the resonant frequency is adjusted to maximize transmission efficiency, then the energy transmission efficiency is improved, but the output voltage may deviate from the required voltage for the power receiving device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the resonant frequency and coupling coefficient as controllable parameters to optimize both transmission efficiency and voltage output. The control circuit varies these parameters dynamically to achieve maximum efficiency while maintaining voltage within acceptable ranges for the power receiving device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback control by monitoring the actual voltage output and transmission efficiency, then adjusting the resonant frequency and coupling coefficient accordingly. The control circuit uses feedback signals from the power receiving device to maintain optimal operating conditions despite load variations or environmental changes.
2Loss of energy
If the coupling coefficient is increased to improve power transfer efficiency, then the transmission efficiency is improved, but the system becomes more sensitive to load fluctuations and environmental changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the coupling coefficient adjustable rather than fixed. The control circuit dynamically modifies the coupling coefficient based on real-time operating conditions, including load variations and environmental factors, allowing the system to adapt while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes by varying the coupling coefficient and resonant frequency to optimize performance under different operating conditions. This allows the system to maintain high efficiency while adapting to load fluctuations and environmental changes through controlled parameter adjustment.
3Loss of energy
If the resonant frequency is optimized for maximum efficiency at a specific load, then the transmission efficiency is improved, but the system cannot maintain efficiency when the load impedance changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting both the resonant frequency and coupling coefficient in response to load impedance variations. This dual-parameter adjustment allows the system to maintain optimal transmission efficiency across a wide range of load conditions rather than being optimized for a single operating point.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic adaptation by continuously monitoring load impedance and adjusting the resonant frequency and coupling coefficient accordingly. This dynamic control enables the system to maintain high transmission efficiency despite changes in load characteristics or environmental conditions.
