Solution Overview

Problem

Existing circular saws with battery-powered electric motors have poor cutting efficiency, particularly for thicker workpieces, due to their small blade diameters.

Innovation Solution

A circular saw design featuring a circular-saw blade with a diameter of 300 mm or more and 460 mm or less, combined with an electric motor and battery-mounting part, to enhance cutting efficiency for thicker workpieces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a small-diameter circular-saw blade is used in battery-powered circular saws, then the device complexity and battery weight are reduced, but the cutting efficiency for thicker workpieces deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting efficiencyVSAvoidbattery weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by increasing the circular-saw blade diameter from conventional small sizes (e.g., 125 mm) to a large diameter of 300 mm or more. This parameter change enables the blade to efficiently cut thicker workpieces while the battery-mounting part design ensures adequate power supply without excessive weight increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If a large-diameter circular-saw blade is used, then the cutting efficiency for thicker workpieces is improved, but the device complexity and power requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery-mounting part is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a power supply interface and as a structural component that supports the increased blade diameter. This universal design reduces overall device complexity while enabling the use of a 300 mm or more diameter blade for efficient cutting of thick workpieces

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