Solution Overview

Problem

Existing coil components with multiple layers of wound wires face limitations in increasing turns without lengthening the winding core, and the conventional parallel wiring method restricts the degree of freedom in winding, leading to increased parasitic capacitance due to adjacent turns with significant turn number differences.

Innovation Solution

The coil component design includes first and second wires wound in multiple layers with turns positioned in mutually different layers, allowing for a regular winding structure with reduced turn number differences, which suppresses parasitic capacitance by alternating and aligning wire turns across layers, and connecting them in parallel through terminal electrodes for low DC resistance and high rated current.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the wire is wound around the winding core part in multiple layers to increase the number of turns, then the inductance is improved, but the same turns of two wires are always adjacently disposed, reducing the degree of freedom of winding work

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of turnsVSAvoiddegree of freedom of winding work
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by distributing the same turns of first and second wires to different winding layers (first winding layer, second winding layer, third winding layer) instead of keeping them adjacent in the same layer. This spatial redistribution across multiple layers increases the degree of freedom in winding work while maintaining the required number of turns for high inductance.

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If two wires are wound in multiple layers to provide low DC resistance and high rated current, then the electrical performance is improved, but the same turns are adjacently disposed, increasing parasitic capacitance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelow DC resistance and high rated currentVSAvoidparasitic capacitance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces parasitic capacitance by separating same turns of first and second wires into different winding layers (first, second, and third winding layers). This spatial separation in the vertical dimension decreases the capacitance between adjacent turns while maintaining the parallel wire configuration needed for low DC resistance and high rated current capability.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If the wire is wound in a single layer to maintain simplicity, then the winding work is easier, but the length of the winding core part must be increased in proportion to the number of turns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewinding work simplicityVSAvoidlength of winding core part
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from single-layer winding to multi-layer winding, utilizing the vertical dimension (layer stacking) to accommodate increased number of turns. This approach maintains a compact winding core part length while enabling higher inductance through increased turns, and simultaneously improves ease of manufacture by allowing systematic winding patterns across multiple layers.
