Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional winding structures are used, then manufacturing is simpler, but reliability and stability of electrical and mechanical properties deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of inductorVSAvoidcomplexity of winding structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic core is segmented into multiple functional parts: center column, flange, and four wire-hanging parts positioned at different locations. This segmentation allows each part to serve specific functions (mechanical support, electrical connection, positioning) thereby improving overall reliability while distributing structural complexity across modular components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wire-hanging parts extend in multiple spatial dimensions from the magnetic core (upwards, outwards, sideways), creating a three-dimensional winding structure. This dimensional expansion provides multiple attachment points for wire tails, enhancing mechanical stability and electrical reliability without requiring overly complex planar arrangements

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

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional winding structures are used, then manufacturing process is simpler, but structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stability of inductorVSAvoidease of manufacturing winding structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic core is pre-formed with four wire-hanging parts at specific positions and orientations before the winding process. This preliminary structural preparation ensures that wire tails can be systematically attached to predetermined locations, improving structural stability while providing clear manufacturing guidance that simplifies the assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the magnetic core are assigned different functional qualities: the center column provides central support, the flange provides base stability, and the four wire-hanging parts provide localized attachment points. This local differentiation of structural qualities enhances overall stability while making the manufacturing process more systematic and easier to control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If conventional winding structures are used, then manufacturing is easier, but electrical and mechanical property consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistency of electrical and mechanical propertiesVSAvoidcomplexity of magnetic core structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic core is divided into standardized wire-hanging parts that can be consistently manufactured and positioned. This segmentation ensures uniform attachment geometry for wire tails across multiple inductors, improving electrical and mechanical property consistency while managing structural complexity through modular repetition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wire-hanging parts are positioned asymmetrically at different locations around the magnetic core (front, rear, left, right sides). This asymmetric arrangement optimizes wire routing paths and attachment geometry, ensuring consistent electrical and mechanical properties while the underlying symmetric framework maintains manufacturing simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
