Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional magnetic processing operations face difficulties in separating solid magnets due to increased magnetic attraction, leading to slow processing speeds and incorrect movements, especially when dealing with larger or multiple magnets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If two solid magnets with different polarities are used to attract the processing object and jig, then the magnetic attraction increases, but the difficulty of separation increases and processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the magnetic system into three parts: a first magnetic component in the jig, a second magnetic component in the processing object, and a magnetic key with opposite polarity. This segmentation allows the magnetic key to interact with both components to generate repulsive force for separation, solving the contradiction between strong attraction and easy separation.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic key acts as an intermediary element with opposite polarity to both the first and second magnetic components. By introducing this mediator, the system can switch between attraction (when key is absent) and repulsion (when key is present), enabling both strong magnetic holding and easy separation.
2Force
If the number of solid magnets is increased to increase magnetic attraction, then the magnetic force increases, but the device complexity and difficulty of separation increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of increasing the number of magnets, the patent segments the magnetic function into three components: first magnetic component, second magnetic component, and magnetic key. This segmentation achieves strong magnetic attraction through the first and second components while using the magnetic key to enable easy separation without adding more magnets.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic key serves as an intermediary that provides the separation function without requiring additional magnets. By introducing this single mediator component with opposite polarity, the system avoids the complexity of adding multiple magnets while maintaining strong attraction through the original magnetic components.
3Force
If the size and weight of workpiece and jig increase, then the magnetic attraction must be increased, but the difficulty of separation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the magnetic system into three interactive components that allow the magnetic key to generate repulsive force against both the first and second magnetic components. This segmentation enables easy separation of large workpieces and jigs by simply introducing the magnetic key, regardless of their size and weight.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic key acts as an intermediary that provides a universal separation mechanism for workpieces and jigs of any size. By introducing this mediator with opposite polarity, the system enables easy separation without requiring proportional increases in separation force or complexity, solving the problem of separating large magnetic components.

AI summary
A panel release device includes a magnetic buckle device including a first buckle member and a second buckle member respectively attached to a preset first panel and a preset second panel and respectively composed of a columnar magnetic body, a non-magnetic conductive component and a magnetic conductive component, and a magnetic key composed of a ring-shaped magnetic body with N magnetic components and S magnetic components stacked vertically. When the ring-shaped magnetic body is aligned with the non-magnetic conductive component with the same polarity, the mutually repulsive state between the ring-shaped magnetic body and the magnetic buckle device is changed to a mutually attractive and fitting state, so that the first buckle member and the second buckle member are in a mutually repulsive state with the same polarity, and the preset first panel and the preset second panel are unlocked and separated.
