Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed front-rear torque distribution ratio is used for energy recovery torque distribution, then the control method is simple, but the vehicle attitude stability cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol method simplicityVSAvoidvehicle attitude stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic torque distribution by continuously adjusting the front-rear torque distribution ratio based on real-time yaw rate feedback. The control system transitions from a static fixed ratio to a dynamic adaptive ratio that changes with vehicle operating conditions, specifically using the relationship between actual and target yaw rates to modulate the distribution parameter and maintain vehicle stability during energy recovery braking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a feedback control mechanism where the actual yaw rate is continuously measured and compared with the target yaw rate. The difference between these values feeds back to the torque distribution control system, which adjusts the front-rear torque distribution ratio accordingly. This closed-loop feedback ensures that the torque distribution adapts to maintain desired vehicle attitude stability while performing energy recovery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Use of energy by moving object

If energy recovery is performed during deceleration braking, then energy utilization efficiency is improved, but vehicle stability control becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy utilization efficiencyVSAvoidbraking system control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the motor serve multiple functions: during deceleration braking, it simultaneously performs energy recovery (generating electricity) and stability control (adjusting torque distribution). The motor acts as both a power generation device and a controllable braking device, integrating energy recovery and stability control functions into a single system rather than requiring separate dedicated systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent controls vehicle stability by dynamically changing the torque distribution parameters between front and rear axles. The control system adjusts the torque distribution ratio as a variable parameter based on yaw rate feedback, allowing flexible modulation of the braking force distribution to maintain vehicle stability while the motor performs energy recovery during deceleration braking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
