Copper Winding Structure Same-Side Extending Parts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional copper winding structures are cumbersome to operate due to the need for connecting extending parts through holes, which complicates the assembly process and layout in circuits like full-wave rectifier circuits.
Innovation Solution
A copper winding structure where the second extending part aligns with the third extending part after stacking, allowing the first and fourth extending parts to be on the same side, facilitating easier connection and reducing complexity in circuit assembly, with optional insulating layers and through holes for soldering convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the conventional copper winding structure uses extending parts connected through holes, then the copper sheets can be connected to form a central tap, but the operation becomes cumbersome and the assembly process is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent repositions the extending parts from a distributed arrangement requiring through-hole connections to a concentrated arrangement on the same side. The second extending part of the first copper sheet and the third extending part of the second copper sheet are positioned to align on the same side, allowing direct connection without penetrating through the copper sheets. This dimensional reorganization eliminates the need for through-holes and simplifies the assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the connection points of multiple extending parts to the same side of the copper sheets. By positioning the second extending part and third extending part to align on the same side, the connection operations are consolidated into a single location, reducing the number of separate connection steps and simplifying the overall assembly process.
2Device complexity
If the first extending part and fourth extending part are on opposite sides of the central tap, then the copper sheets can be stacked, but the circuit layout becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the spatial arrangement of the extending parts from an opposite-side configuration to a same-side configuration. The first extending part and fourth extending part are positioned on the same side of the stacked copper sheets, which simplifies the circuit layout by reducing the spatial span required for connections and making the overall structure more compact.
3Ease of manufacture
If through holes are used for connecting extending parts, then electrical connections can be established, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the through-holes from the copper sheet structure. By positioning the extending parts to connect on the same side without penetrating through the copper sheets, the design removes the unnecessary through-hole elements, simplifying both the manufacturing process and the overall structural complexity.
