Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing induction energy transmission systems face inefficiencies in energy transmission due to the fixed orientation of supplying and receiving induction elements, limiting flexibility and compactness, especially when trying to achieve a minimal distance between them for optimal energy transfer.
Innovation Solution
The system incorporates a supplying induction element with a sub-region oriented at an angle relative to a plane perpendicular to the shortest connection with the receiving induction element, allowing for a more flexible and compact arrangement, enabling efficient energy transmission by overlapping multiple induction elements for enhanced efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the supplying induction element and receiving induction element are arranged with minimal distance for optimal energy transfer, then energy transmission efficiency is improved, but the system lacks flexibility in arrangement and compactness
Solution Approach 1:
The supplying induction element is designed with a sub-region that is oriented at an angle relative to the main plane of the element. This angular orientation introduces a dimensional variation that allows the sub-region to reach closer to the receiving induction element without requiring the entire element to be in a fixed minimal distance arrangement, thus maintaining energy efficiency while improving arrangement flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The supplying induction element is segmented into different regions: a main body portion and an angled sub-region. This segmentation allows different parts of the supplying element to serve different functions - the main body provides overall energy transmission while the angled sub-region specifically targets the receiving element for optimal coupling, enabling both efficiency and flexibility
2Productivity
If multiple supplying induction elements are arranged in overlapping configuration for enhanced efficiency, then energy transmission efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple supplying induction elements are arranged in an overlapping configuration where their magnetic fields combine and reinforce each other. The angled sub-regions of different supplying elements overlap in space, creating a concentrated and enhanced magnetic field zone that improves energy transmission efficiency while the overlapping structure itself provides a form of integration that manages complexity
3Device complexity
If the supplying induction element has a fixed orientation perpendicular to the shortest connection with the receiving element, then the structure is simple, but energy transmission efficiency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The supplying induction element exhibits local quality variation through its angular sub-region. While the main body maintains a simple fixed orientation for structural simplicity, the sub-region is locally oriented at an angle to optimize the magnetic coupling with the receiving element. This local optimization improves energy transmission efficiency without requiring complex reconfiguration of the entire element

AI summary
An induction energy transmission system includes a supply unit having a supplying induction element for supplying energy, and a receiving unit having a receiving induction element that receives energy from the supplying induction element when in an operational state a shortest connection between the supplying induction element and the receiving induction element is minimal. The supplying induction element has a sub-region which, in the operational state, is oriented at an angle relative to a plane that is at least substantially perpendicular to the shortest connection between the supplying induction element and the receiving induction element.
