Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing high-voltage DC relays face a contradiction between the need for strong electromagnetic attraction to withstand short-circuit current, which requires larger coil winding space and higher coil driving power consumption, and the desire for a smaller size and lower power consumption, hindering their effective application in new energy vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic circuit system with enhanced initial electromagnetic attraction is designed, featuring a coil, a movable magnetizer, and a stationary magnetizer, where one magnetic pole surface has a protrusion that fits into a recess on the other, aligning the resultant attractive force to minimize magnetic resistance and reduce coil volume and power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If larger coil winding space and higher coil driving power consumption are used to achieve strong electromagnetic attraction to withstand short-circuit current, then the electromagnetic attraction force is improved, but the device size and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a protrusion on one magnetic pole surface and a corresponding recess on the other magnetic pole surface. This localized structural modification concentrates the magnetic flux in a specific region, enhancing the magnetic field density and electromagnetic attraction force at the contact point without requiring an increase in overall coil volume or winding space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the magnetic pole surfaces by adding a protrusion and recess structure. This modifies the magnetic gap distribution and flux path, thereby changing the magnetic field characteristics to achieve stronger electromagnetic attraction with the same coil parameters, effectively resolving the contradiction between force and volume.
2Force
If larger coil winding space and higher coil driving power consumption are used to achieve strong electromagnetic attraction to withstand short-circuit current, then the electromagnetic attraction force is improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By concentrating the magnetic flux through the protrusion-recess structure, the patent achieves higher magnetic field density in the critical attraction region. This allows the same electromagnetic force to be achieved with lower overall power consumption, as the energy is more efficiently utilized in the localized high-flux region rather than being dispersed across a larger volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The geometric modification of the magnetic pole surfaces changes the magnetic circuit parameters, reducing the overall magnetic resistance and improving flux efficiency. This enables the system to achieve the required electromagnetic attraction force with reduced driving power consumption.
3Volume of moving object
If the coil volume is reduced to achieve smaller device size, then the device compactness is improved, but the electromagnetic attraction force decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion-recess structure creates a localized concentration of magnetic flux, compensating for the reduced overall coil volume. By intensifying the magnetic field in the critical contact region, the patent maintains strong electromagnetic attraction force even with a smaller coil, thus resolving the contradiction between compactness and force.
4Use of energy by stationary object
If the power consumption is reduced to achieve lower energy loss, then the energy efficiency is improved, but the electromagnetic attraction force decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the magnetic circuit parameters through the protrusion-recess structure, optimizing the flux distribution and reducing magnetic resistance. This improves the energy efficiency of the magnetic circuit, allowing the system to achieve the required electromagnetic attraction force with lower power consumption by reducing energy losses in the magnetic path.
