Solution Overview

Problem

The existing flat wire motors face challenges in simplifying the wire-embedded structure and reducing the height of the winding end, leading to increased complexity and risk of insulation failure due to high coil height and limited space.

Innovation Solution

A stator design incorporating long-pitch and short-pitch coils with concentric embedded arrangements, reduced wire types, and simplified connection methods, including extension portions for efficient coil embedding and reduced height.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If traditional wire embedding structure is used, then the motor can achieve basic functionality, but the winding end height increases and the structure becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewinding end heightVSAvoidwire embedding structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the winding structure into distinct plug portions and connection portions, with each having specific functions. The plug portions are inserted into slots while connection portions are welded together, segmenting the embedding process and reducing overall height while maintaining structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional planar winding arrangements to a three-dimensional concentric arrangement where plug portions extend radially into slots and connection portions connect axially. This dimensional change allows for compact height while preserving electrical connectivity

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If more wire types are used for different coil configurations, then various voltage and power ranges can be adapted, but the wire embedding process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage and power range adaptabilityVSAvoidwire embedding process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal plug portion structure that can be used across different coil configurations and voltage/power ranges. The same basic plug and connection portion design serves multiple functions, eliminating the need for specialized wire types for different applications while maintaining manufacturing simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
