Innovation Solution

A wireless power transmission system that includes a power transmission apparatus, a power reception apparatus, and a power control apparatus, where the power control apparatus updates a load instruction value and a control parameter in real-time to adjust the voltage of the alternating current power transmitted, allowing the power transmission apparatus to rapidly adapt and maintain a stable voltage output.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If traditional feedback control methods are used to adjust power transmission, then system stability is maintained, but the response time to sudden load changes is slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speed to load changesVSAvoidtime to achieve desired operation state
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The control parameter for adjusting the voltage of the transmitted power is updated in advance when the operation load changes, before the actual power transmission adjustment occurs. This preliminary update of the control parameter enables the power transmission apparatus to respond more quickly to load changes, reducing the overall time to achieve the desired operation state while maintaining system stability through coordinated control.

2Loss of time

If the voltage of transmitted power is adjusted rapidly in response to load changes, then the time to achieve desired operation state is reduced, but control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs feedback control where the control parameter for voltage adjustment is updated based on the detected operation load, and this updated parameter is transmitted to the power transmission apparatus. The power transmission apparatus then adjusts the transmitted power voltage according to the received control parameter, creating a closed-loop control system that achieves rapid stabilization while maintaining manageable complexity through structured feedback mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the control parameter (voltage adjustment parameter) in response to operation load changes. By updating this parameter and transmitting it to the power transmission apparatus, the system enables rapid voltage adjustment of the transmitted power, thereby reducing the time required to stabilize the system after load changes without requiring complex hardware modifications.

AI summary

A wireless power transmission system includes a power transmission apparatus (100), a power reception apparatus (300), a load driving apparatus (400), and a power control apparatus (500). The power control apparatus (500) includes a direct current power supply (510), a main control circuit (550), and a communicator (580). Each time an operation load to be achieved by the load driving apparatus changes, the main control circuit (550) updates a load instruction value for the load driving apparatus (400) and a control parameter for adjusting a voltage of first alternating current power, the control parameter being used by the power transmission apparatus (100) to convert first direct current power into the first alternating current power. The power transmission apparatus includes an inverter circuit (130) and a power transmission control circuit (150) that determines the voltage of the first alternating current power on the basis of the control parameter updated by the power control apparatus (500) and that controls the inverter circuit (130).
