Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a conventional wireless charger without magnetic attraction function is used, then the structure is simple, but the alignment with mobile phone is slow and inaccurate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless charger is divided into separate functional modules: a holder body and a main body that can be detachably mounted. The magnetic alignment function is isolated in the main body with the first magnet, while the holder body provides structural support. This segmentation allows the magnetic alignment feature to be added without completely redesigning the entire device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A first magnet is introduced as an intermediary component between the wireless charging module and the mobile phone. This magnet creates magnetic attraction that pulls the mobile phone into proper alignment with the receiver coil, solving the alignment accuracy problem without requiring complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If a first magnet is added to achieve magnetic attraction function, then the alignment speed and accuracy improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging efficiencyVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first magnet is combined with the wireless charging module in the same main body housing. The magnet and the transmitter coil work together as an integrated unit, reducing the need for separate mounting mechanisms and simplifying the overall structure despite adding magnetic functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic attraction system is designed to be self-aligning. When a mobile phone with a built-in magnet approaches the charger, the magnetic forces automatically pull the phone into the correct position without requiring manual adjustment or external intervention, thereby improving charging efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If a second magnet is added for positioning the holder body, then the positioning accuracy improves, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The second magnet is positioned in the recess at the back of the main body, creating a magnetic field that interacts with the spherical head on the holder body. This magnetic positioning system creates an equipotential state where the holder body naturally settles into the correct position without requiring precise mechanical tolerances or complex adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality

4Reliability

If a magnetic shield is added to shield the strong magnet on the back, then the operational stability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational stabilityVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic shield extracts and contains the strong magnetic field generated by the second magnet at the back of the device. By isolating this strong magnetic field, the shield prevents it from interfering with the wireless charging module and first magnet operations, thereby improving operational stability without requiring complex shielding mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
