Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional brushless DC motors experience inaccurate magnetic induction data due to inconsistent distances between Hall circuit boards and magnetic tiles, leading to installation challenges and reduced accuracy.

Innovation Solution

The design includes a base with a cylindrical sleeve and insulation seat, where the Hall circuit board is positioned within a recess on the insulation seat, ensuring consistent spacing between Hall elements and magnetic tiles, and a stator assembly with a contact pin that connects through specific holes for accurate electrical connection, along with features like T-shaped columns for magnetic tile retention and a groove for aluminum scrap collection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the Hall circuit board is disposed on the control panel through an extension socket and contact pins, then the installation is flexible, but the distance between the Hall circuit boards and magnetic tiles becomes inconstant, leading to inaccurate magnetic induction data

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInstallation flexibilityVSAvoidMagnetic induction data accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a positioning structure (protrusion and recess mechanism) as an intermediary between the control panel and Hall circuit board. This positioning structure ensures that the Hall circuit board is accurately positioned relative to the magnetic tiles, maintaining a constant distance while still allowing for flexible installation through the extension socket and contact pins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The control panel is pre-equipped with a positioning structure (protrusion) that guides the Hall circuit board into the correct position during installation. The recess on the Hall circuit board is designed to fit onto the protrusion, ensuring proper alignment before the actual installation is completed, thereby guaranteeing accurate magnetic induction data from the outset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If the distance between Hall circuit boards and magnetic tiles is not standardized, then installation is simpler, but the magnetic induction data becomes inaccurate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInstallation simplicityVSAvoidDistance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structure creates a standardized reference level or 'potential' for the distance between the Hall circuit board and magnetic tiles. By using the protrusion and recess mechanism, all installations automatically achieve the same optimal distance, eliminating variability while maintaining installation simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality

3Productivity

If the Hall element positioning is not precise, then the installation process is faster, but the magnetic induction accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInstallation speedVSAvoidMagnetic induction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structure enables the Hall circuit board to self-position during installation. The recess on the Hall circuit board automatically aligns with and fits onto the protrusion on the control panel, ensuring precise positioning without requiring complex alignment procedures or specialized tools, thereby maintaining both installation speed and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
