Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If a winding-type coil is used in high-performance electronic devices, then the device performance and operating frequency increase, but high-frequency noise is generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperating frequencyVSAvoidhigh-frequency noise
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A noise removal portion is introduced as an intermediary element between the coil portion and the external environment. This noise removal portion includes a pattern portion with an open-loop configuration that acts as a mediator to redirect and discharge high-frequency noise through a dedicated path, preventing the noise from propagating to other circuit components while maintaining the coil's high-frequency operating capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The coil component is segmented into functionally distinct portions: a coil portion for generating electromagnetic fields at high frequencies, a noise removal portion for capturing and discharging noise, and an insulating layer for electrical isolation. This segmentation allows each portion to perform its specific function optimally without interfering with the others, enabling the coil to operate at high frequencies while the noise removal portion handles the harmful noise separately

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the noise removal portion is spaced apart from the metal wire, then electrical insulation is maintained, but capacitance formation is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical insulationVSAvoidcapacitance formation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The electrical parameters between the coil portion and noise removal portion are optimized by controlling the spacing distance and the dielectric properties of the insulating layer. The insulating layer thickness and material characteristics are specifically selected to achieve the desired capacitance value that enables effective noise filtering while maintaining adequate electrical insulation. This parameter optimization allows the system to operate in a regime where sufficient capacitance exists for noise removal without compromising insulation reliability
