Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single demagnetization coil winds through all layers of shielding bodies and applies the same demagnetization current to all layers, then the device complexity is reduced, but the demagnetization precision deteriorates because different layers cannot achieve complete demagnetization due to different saturation requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedemagnetization coil system complexityVSAvoiddemagnetization precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single demagnetization coil into multiple independent demagnetization coils, with each coil wound around a specific layer of shielding bodies. This segmentation allows each coil to be independently controlled with customized demagnetization currents, enabling complete demagnetization of each layer according to its specific saturation requirements while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different demagnetization currents to different layers of shielding bodies based on their local characteristics. Each layer receives a customized current magnitude tailored to its specific saturation requirements, ensuring optimal demagnetization precision for each local region rather than using a uniform current approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If demagnetization coils in different layers and directions are activated simultaneously, then the demagnetization speed is improved, but the demagnetization precision deteriorates due to mutual interference between coils

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic sequential activation of demagnetization coils in different layers and directions. Instead of simultaneous activation, each coil is activated in a controlled sequence with appropriate time intervals, eliminating mutual interference while maintaining efficient demagnetization speed through optimized periodic operation cycles.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary demagnetization actions in specific directions and layers before proceeding to others. By preparing and demagnetizing certain layers or directions first, the system establishes a foundation that prevents subsequent interference, ensuring precise demagnetization throughout the multi-layer structure.
