Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the traditional generator performance bench test method is used to evaluate rotor performance, then the speed-current relationship curve can be obtained, but the test bench becomes complicated and expensive, and the whole assembly and disassembly process is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic properties measurement accuracyVSAvoidtest bench complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the magnetizing winding from the complete generator assembly and uses it directly for magnetic properties measurement. By taking out only the necessary component (magnetizing winding with collector rings) and measuring it independently on a simplified device, the complex generator assembly and disassembly process is eliminated while maintaining measurement capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a simplified measurement system that copies only the essential functional elements needed for magnetic properties measurement - specifically the magnetizing winding and collector rings - rather than using the complete generator assembly. This copied subset enables measurement on a much simpler device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If manual installation process is used during testing, then the generator can be assembled and tested, but many uncontrollable factors are introduced and measurement accuracy is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting operation simplicityVSAvoidmagnetic properties measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the measurement process into two distinct phases: (1) individual component measurement of the magnetizing winding before assembly, and (2) assembled rotor measurement. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently - the first phase eliminates manual installation errors by measuring the winding in isolation, while the second phase verifies overall rotor performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention performs preliminary measurement of the magnetizing winding and its magnetic properties before the rotor assembly is completed. By conducting measurements in advance on the individual winding, the system identifies and corrects issues before they propagate through the assembly process, eliminating the need for repeated disassembly and reassembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If standard samples are produced for magnetic property measurement, then the measurement can be performed, but the uneven performance caused by claw-pole manufacturing process is ignored and results cannot reflect overall rotor magnetic properties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement process simplicityVSAvoidoverall rotor magnetic properties accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses the magnetizing winding of the rotor itself as the measurement object, rather than requiring separate standard samples. The rotor's own winding serves the dual purpose of both magnetization source and measurement subject, enabling direct assessment of the actual rotor assembly's magnetic properties including all manufacturing variations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the measurement parameter from indirect standard sample characteristics to direct rotor winding magnetic properties. By measuring the actual magnetic flux distribution in the rotor's own claw-poles and air gap, the system captures the true performance including manufacturing process variations, rather than relying on idealized standard samples

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If multiple measurements at different positions are performed to eliminate system error, then measurement accuracy improves, but the testing process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic properties measurement accuracyVSAvoidtesting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The invention performs preliminary measurement of the magnetizing winding at multiple angular positions before final rotor assembly. By completing these measurements in advance and establishing baseline characteristics, the system eliminates the need for repeated multi-position measurements after assembly, saving time while maintaining accuracy through the use of the winding's own pre-characterized performance data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A magnetic performance measuring device for serialized claw-pole generator rotors is consisted with: an excitation power supply turn-on mechanism, a rotor magnetic field detecting mechanism, a measuring position adjusting mechanism and a pressing mechanism that are successively and fixedly arranged, wherein the rotor magnetic field detecting mechanism including a detection box, a positioning base, an adjusting ring, a shaft sleeve and a serialized grooved magnetic conduction ring that are successively arranged in the detection box, and the adjusting ring and the shaft sleeve are used to position different models of tested rotors to achieve a serialized measurement. The claw-pole generator rotors are directly used as objects to be measured, the pressing mechanism is used to reduce the influence of the position fluctuation of the rotors during testing, and a measurement position may be changed by means of adjusting an angle of an indexing plate, which thus facilitates a plurality of measurements of the same rotor so as to eliminate system errors. A series of different models of rotors may be more conveniently and quickly measured without damaging the tested rotors. The measurement results are more sensitive and more directly reflect the pros and cons of the tested rotors. The measurement process is relatively simple and low-cost.
