Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical friction braking system with a magnetic braking system that uses magnetic fields to generate braking force. The magnetic braking element interacts with the rotating element through magnetic attraction without physical contact, eliminating wear while maintaining effective braking force generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic braking system replaces mechanical friction with magnetic field interaction, dramatically reducing heat generation. The magnetic brakes generate braking force through magnetic attraction without the sliding friction that produces excessive heat in traditional systems, thereby minimizing thermal management requirements

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic braking system eliminates the contact between brake pads and discs, preventing the generation of abrasive dust particles. By using magnetic fields instead of mechanical friction, the system avoids producing toxic dust that pollutes the environment and endangers human health

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Reliability

If vehicle-specific braking elements are used, then braking performance is optimized for each vehicle, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
