Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If regular winding method is used for secondary coil, then manufacturing is simple, but voltage withstandability deteriorates due to voltage differences between adjacent wires

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewinding simplicityVSAvoidvoltage withstandability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The coil winding is segmented into multiple independent layers using partition walls. Each layer is wound separately around its own bobbin, preventing direct contact between adjacent wires of different layers. This segmentation eliminates the voltage difference problem while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Partition walls act as intermediary insulating structures between adjacent wire layers. These partition walls physically separate the wires, preventing direct electrical contact and eliminating the harmful voltage differences that occur in regular winding methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The winding structure is divided into separate layers by partition walls, allowing each layer to be optimally packed without interfering with adjacent layers. This segmentation maintains high space utilization while eliminating the electromagnetic interference that occurs when wires are closely wound together in regular winding.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

Partition walls are pre-formed on the bobbins before winding begins. This preliminary action establishes fixed, predetermined positions for each wire layer, ensuring consistent wire placement and spacing throughout the winding process. The result is stable leakage characteristics while adding minimal structural complexity.

AI summary

A coil device 10 comprises a first bobbin 40 provided with a first winding part 45 at an outer circumference and a second bobbin 50 provided with a second winding part 55 at an outer circumference. A plurality of partition walls 46, separating portions of the wire 22 which are adjacent to each other along the scroll axis Z of the first wire 22 are formed on the first winding part 45 along the scroll axis at predetermined intervals. A section width w1 of each section 47, which is along the scroll axis Z, separated by the partition walls 46 is determined so that only one wire 22 can pass through. A height of the partition walls 46 is determined so that one or more of the wires 22 can pass through. At least one connecting groove 46a, connecting each section which are adjacent to each other, is formed on each partition wall 46.
