Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If different motor configurations (synchronous, asynchronous, DC) are used to meet varying torque requirements, then torque characteristics are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing costs increase due to requiring different stators and rotors for each motor type
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a stator with a common profile that can cooperate with multiple types of rotors (synchronous, asynchronous, DC motors). The stator's pole elements are dimensioned with an angular pole opening width less than the angular width of magnetic elements of the rotors, allowing the same stator to work with different rotor configurations to deliver different torque values, thereby reducing the need for separate stator designs for each motor type.
2Manufacturing precision
If specific designs and tools are created for each motor configuration, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of manufacture deteriorates due to requiring multiple specific designs and industrial tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables a single stator design to be used across multiple actuator types by ensuring the pole elements have an angular pole opening width less than the angular width of magnetic elements of the rotors. This universal stator profile allows the same manufacturing process and tools to produce stators for synchronous, asynchronous, and DC motors, simplifying production while maintaining precision requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by varying the angular width of magnetic elements in different rotors while maintaining a common stator profile. By changing only the rotor parameters (angular width of magnetic elements) rather than the stator parameters, the same manufacturing process can produce different motor configurations with appropriate torque characteristics.
3Ease of manufacture
If a common stator profile is used for multiple rotor types, then ease of manufacture is improved, but manufacturing precision may deteriorate due to the need to accommodate different rotor configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by designing the stator's pole elements with specific dimensional characteristics (angular pole opening width less than the angular width of magnetic elements of the rotors) that locally accommodate different rotor configurations. This localized design feature ensures proper magnetic coupling and torque transmission for various rotor types while maintaining a common overall stator profile.
