Layered Power Feed Mat for Custom Wireless Charging Functions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power feed mats lack the ability to provide customizable functions tailored to individual user needs, as their primary function is fixed and cannot adapt to diverse user requirements.
Innovation Solution
A power feed mat with a substrate and cover sheet that includes at least one functional layer above or below the substrate, which can be combined to provide various functions such as protection, heat radiation, representation, power generation, foreign matter sensing, and living body sensing, allowing users to select the desired functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a power feed mat is designed with a fixed primary function, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot adapt to diverse user requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The power feed mat is designed with multiple functional layers that can be selectively combined to provide different functions. The base substrate includes a power transmission coil, while additional functional layers (such as heating layers, cooling layers, sensing layers, or communication layers) can be superimposed on the substrate to create mats with different specialized functions, allowing one product platform to serve multiple user needs
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functional layers are integrated into the power feed mat, then user-specific functions can be provided, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power feed mat is divided into a base substrate and separate functional layers. Each functional layer performs a specific function (heating, cooling, sensing, communication) and can be independently designed, manufactured, and selected. This segmentation allows users to choose only the functional layers they need, combining them with the substrate to create a customized mat without requiring all possible functions in every configuration
