Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional magnetic field shielding sheets face challenges in achieving high magnetic permeability of 2,000 or more while maintaining a thin thickness, as they require a flake process that increases production costs and decreases magnetic permeability due to repeated separation into smaller pieces, leading to increased resistance and eddy current issues.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic field shielding sheet is designed with through-portions and cracks formed locally in partial regions, using a manufacturing method that avoids the need for a separate flake process, allowing for high magnetic permeability and thin thickness by selectively forming these features in areas corresponding to an antenna.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a flake process is performed repeatedly to separate the sheet into smaller pieces, then the flexibility and eddy current reduction are improved, but the magnetic permeability decreases to 1,500 or less and production costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidmagnetic permeability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The sheet is segmented into a land portion and a pattern portion with different structures. The pattern portion contains through-portions and cracks that provide flexibility and reduce eddy currents, while the land portion maintains high magnetic permeability. This selective segmentation resolves the contradiction by applying different structural characteristics to different functional regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the sheet are given different qualities: the pattern portion has through-portions and cracks for flexibility and eddy current reduction, while the land portion remains intact for high magnetic permeability. This local differentiation allows simultaneous achievement of both flexibility and high magnetic permeability in different areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the overall thickness of the sheet is increased to achieve high magnetic permeability of 2,000 or more, then the magnetic permeability requirement is met, but the thin thickness design goal is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic permeabilityVSAvoidthickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The sheet maintains thin overall thickness while achieving high magnetic permeability through local quality differentiation. The land portion provides high magnetic permeability in a thin configuration, while the pattern portion's through-portions and cracks provide the necessary flexibility without requiring increased thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of energy

If a separate flake process is performed to form the shielding sheet, then the eddy current loss is reduced, but the production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeddy current lossVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The formation of through-portions and cracks is merged with the existing sheet manufacturing process rather than being a separate flake process. This integration reduces production costs while still achieving eddy current reduction through the patterned through-portions and cracks in the pattern portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
