Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional motors with silicon steel sheets and coil windings suffer from significant weight, iron loss, heat dissipation issues, and complex assembly processes, limiting their efficiency and endurance, making them unsuitable for modern electric tools and garden equipment.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If traditional motors use silicon steel sheets and coil windings, then the motor structure is established, but the weight increases and iron loss occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor weightVSAvoidiron loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the iron core (silicon steel sheets) from the motor structure, creating a coreless motor design. This extraction eliminates the source of iron loss and significantly reduces motor weight while maintaining the functional structure through alternative materials and design configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material construction, combining non-magnetic materials with magnetic components. The motor uses a composite structure with a non-magnetic coreless rotor body, permanent magnets, and specialized winding materials to achieve both weight reduction and energy efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Power

If traditional motors operate at high speed, then power output increases, but heat generation increases and reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor powerVSAvoidmotor reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful heat generated during high-speed operation into a manageable thermal management challenge by designing integrated heat dissipation pathways. The heat dissipation fan and air passage system transform thermal energy into controlled airflow, preventing overheating while maintaining high power output capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a heat dissipation fan as an intermediary component between the heat-generating coil and the external environment. This fan mediates thermal management by actively circulating air through designated passages, ensuring reliable operation during high-power conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Force

If permanent magnets are installed on the rotor, then magnetic field strength increases, but centrifugal force causes magnets to detach

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic field strengthVSAvoidmagnet retention
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a conventional radial magnet arrangement to a three-dimensional embedded magnet structure within the coreless rotor. By distributing magnets in multiple spatial dimensions and embedding them within the rotor body rather than mounting on the surface, the design resists centrifugal detachment forces while maintaining magnetic field strength

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

4Temperature

If a heat dissipation system is added to the motor, then heat dissipation improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidmotor structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the heat dissipation function with existing motor components rather than adding separate independent systems. The heat dissipation fan is integrated with the rotor assembly, and air passages are incorporated into the housing structure, combining thermal management with mechanical components to minimize overall complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

5Ease of manufacture

If the motor uses a modular assembly mode, then assembly convenience improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidassembly precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the motor into distinct modular components including the coreless rotor assembly, stator, housing, and heat dissipation system. Each module can be manufactured and assembled separately, improving ease of manufacture while standardized interfaces maintain required precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
