Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a conventional galvanometer motor uses a motor housing made of iron with a laminate of silicon steel sheets as a coil frame, then the motor provides sufficient structural strength and magnetic properties, but the device complexity increases and assembling complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the motor housing and coil frame into a single integrated housing structure. The housing includes a stator assembly with a coil winding groove directly formed in the housing body, eliminating the need for a separate silicon steel sheet laminate coil frame. This integration reduces the number of parts while maintaining both structural strength and magnetic properties through the housing's own design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the core is fixed to the housing using an epoxy resin, then the structural stability is improved, but the assembling efficiency decreases and ease of repair worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidassembling efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the core assembly (stator assembly with coil) as a separate, removable unit from the housing. The stator assembly can be independently assembled and then installed into the housing without requiring epoxy resin bonding. This extraction allows for tool-free assembly and disassembly, improving assembling efficiency while maintaining structural stability through precise mechanical fitments and positioning structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Volume of moving object

If the motor apparatus is compact in terms of space, then the volume is reduced, but the adaptability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor volumeVSAvoidwinding parameter adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic and reconfigurable coil winding structure within the integrated housing. The coil winding groove is designed to accommodate different winding configurations and parameters. The stator assembly can be reconfigured with different coil windings to provide various winding parameters, allowing a single compact motor design to adapt to different application requirements without changing the overall motor volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Stability of the object's composition

If conventional galvanometer motors include multiple separate components such as front bearing mounting seat, rear bearing mounting seat, and coil frame, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the assembling complexity increases and ease of repair worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoiddisassembling ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the motor into two main functional modules: the integrated housing (containing the stator assembly with coil winding groove) and the rotor assembly (with magnet and bearing). This segmentation allows each module to be independently assembled, tested, and replaced. The bearing mounting seats are integrated into the housing structure, eliminating separate bearing housing components. This modular segmentation maintains structural integrity while dramatically simplifying assembly and repair operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
