Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for dividing alloy strips into small pieces for magnetic sheets in wireless charging devices face challenges in maintaining consistent magnetic permeability due to the elasticity of resin films, leading to surface roughness and time-dependent changes in magnetic properties.

Innovation Solution

A method involving direct application of external force to alloy strips with adhesive layers and peelable release or protective films to form cracks, followed by laminating these strips to create an alloy strip laminate with alternating adhesive and cracked alloy layers, reducing the required force and improving the plane state of the strips.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If external force is applied through a resin film to divide alloy strip into small pieces, then the alloy strip can be divided, but surface roughness occurs and magnetic properties change over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealloy strip divisionVSAvoidsurface plane state
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The alloy strip is divided into small pieces by applying external force before lamination with the adhesive layer. This preliminary division action eliminates the need for subsequent division steps that would cause surface roughness, as the strip is already divided when bonded to the adhesive layer.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

An adhesive layer is introduced as an intermediary between the divided alloy strip pieces and the magnetic sheet structure. This adhesive layer holds the divided pieces in place without requiring additional force application that would cause surface deformation, thus maintaining surface plane state while achieving the desired division.
