VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a solenoid coil structure with a magnetic body is used for wireless communication antenna, then the antenna can be applied to mobile devices for electronic payments, but noise occurs due to volume change of the magnetic body when electric field is applied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability to mobile devicesVSAvoidnoise generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic body is divided into multiple magnetic pieces arranged side by side in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic flux direction. This segmentation reduces the volume change of each individual magnetic piece when electric field is applied, thereby reducing noise generation while maintaining the overall functionality of the antenna in mobile devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-generated harmful factors

If magnetic pieces are arranged side by side to reduce volume change, then noise generation is reduced, but the magnetic permeability may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic pieces are specifically arranged in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic flux direction, creating different local properties in different directions. This arrangement reduces volume change in the perpendicular direction (reducing noise) while maintaining magnetic permeability in the flux direction through the coordinated arrangement of pieces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Object-generated harmful factors

If magnetic layers are stacked with offset interfaces, then volume change is minimized and noise is reduced, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic body is segmented into multiple layers with offset interfaces, where each layer is divided into magnetic pieces. This segmentation approach minimizes volume change by distributing the magnetic material across multiple offset layers, reducing noise while the modular structure allows for systematic manufacturing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic layers are stacked in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic flux direction, adding a dimensional aspect to the arrangement. This vertical stacking with offset interfaces creates a three-dimensional structure that reduces volume change effects while maintaining magnetic performance

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