Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional 3D-coil transponders have a plastic thickness at the bottom of their magnetic body, leading to longer wire lengths for coil formation, increased loss, and larger size.

Innovation Solution

A structure with no plastic thickness at the bottom of the magnetic body, featuring separated groups of leads encapsulated by insulating molding bodies, with coils winding around X, Y, and Z axes, and a protection layer, using enameled wires and ferrite magnetic bodies, to reduce wire length and size.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a plastic thickness is provided at the bottom of the magnetic body, then the magnetic body is protected and leads are insulated, but the wire length for forming the coil increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of magnetic body and insulationVSAvoidwire length for coil formation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a conventional planar structure with uniform plastic thickness to a three-dimensional structure where the plastic substrate has varying thickness. The magnetic body is positioned at a specific height above the plastic substrate, creating a vertical dimension that optimizes coil wire length while maintaining protection and insulation functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the thickness parameter of the plastic substrate from a uniform value to a non-uniform distribution, with the thickness varying at different locations. This allows the wire to follow an optimized path around the magnetic body, reducing the overall wire length while maintaining adequate insulation and protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Length of moving object

If the wire length is increased, then the coil can surround the magnetic body, but the loss increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire length for coil formationVSAvoidcoil loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

By optimizing the wire length through controlled plastic thickness variation and strategic magnetic body positioning, the patent reduces the total wire length required for coil formation. Since resistive losses are directly proportional to wire length, this parameter optimization directly reduces energy loss in the coil.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Length of moving object

If the wire length is increased, then the coil can surround the magnetic body, but the size of the transponder increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire length for coil formationVSAvoidtransponder size
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes vertical positioning of the magnetic body above the plastic substrate to create a compact three-dimensional configuration. This allows the coil to surround the magnetic body efficiently in three dimensions, reducing the horizontal footprint and overall transponder size compared to a planar configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested structure where the coil is wound around the magnetic body, which itself is positioned above the plastic substrate. This nested arrangement optimizes space utilization and minimizes the overall transponder volume while maintaining functional integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
