Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a magnetic layer containing magnetic particles is used to shield electromagnetic waves, then shielding ability against magnetic field waves is improved, but magnetic particles may fall off from the edge surfaces causing deterioration of electronic component performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding abilityVSAvoidmagnetic particle fallout
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A coating layer is formed on the edge surfaces of the magnetic layer to prevent magnetic particles from falling off. The coating layer acts as a protective shell that secures the magnetic particles while maintaining the shielding function, thus preventing deterioration of electronic component performance caused by particle fallout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding material uses a composite structure consisting of a magnetic layer containing magnetic particles and a coating layer formed on its edge surfaces. This composite structure combines the electromagnetic shielding properties of the magnetic layer with the protective function of the coating layer, achieving both high shielding ability and prevention of particle fallout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-generated harmful factors

If the edge surfaces of the magnetic layer are coated with a coating material, then magnetic particle fallout is prevented, but the coating material should have high thermal conductivity to prevent heat accumulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic particle falloutVSAvoidheat accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The coating material is selected or designed to have high thermal conductivity, changing the thermal parameter of the edge surfaces. This allows heat generated in the magnetic layer to be efficiently conducted away through the coating layer, preventing heat accumulation while the same coating prevents magnetic particle fallout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
