Solution Overview

Problem

Existing coil components struggle to effectively remove noise, particularly electromagnetic interference (EMI), as they are miniaturized and used in increasingly complex electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

The coil component design includes a body with a core, a molded portion, a cover portion, first and second receiving grooves, a wound coil, and a first noise removing portion. The wound coil is positioned between the molded portion and the cover portion, with both ends in the receiving grooves, and the noise removing portion is disposed between the coil and the molded portion to facilitate noise discharge.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the coil component is miniaturized to reduce size, then the component size is reduced, but the noise removal capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent sizeVSAvoidnoise removal capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The coil component is segmented into distinct functional zones: a wound coil region for inductance, a noise removing portion for EMI suppression, and receiving grooves for terminal connections. This segmentation allows each zone to optimize its function independently, enabling effective noise removal even in miniaturized configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the coil component are assigned different material properties and structural characteristics. The noise removing portion has specific structural features (such as exposed surfaces and spacing) optimized for EMI suppression, while the wound coil region maintains properties for low DC resistance and high capacity, allowing each local area to perform its designated function effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Volume of moving object

If the wound coil is positioned closer to the molded portion to reduce size, then the component size is reduced, but the noise removal efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent sizeVSAvoidnoise removal efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The noise removing portion acts as an intermediary structure between the wound coil and the molded portion. It includes exposed surfaces that extend toward the first surface of the molded portion, creating an intermediate zone that effectively suppresses EMI while allowing the wound coil to be positioned close to the molded portion for miniaturization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If the coil component design is simplified to reduce complexity, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the noise removal capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign complexityVSAvoidnoise removal capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The noise removing portion is merged with the wound coil structure, where the noise removing portion is disposed between the wound coil and the molded portion. This integration achieves effective EMI suppression without requiring completely separate noise removal devices, thereby controlling design complexity while maintaining noise removal capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
