Solution Overview

Problem

Current magnetic sheets used in wireless power charging technologies face challenges in efficiently shielding and transmitting electromagnetic fields due to limitations in their design, which affects the performance and efficiency of wireless power transfer.

Innovation Solution

The magnetic sheet is designed with alternating regions having crack lines formed in different directions, creating patterns such as concentric polygons or cross-shapes, which are linearly crushed by a roller with protrusions, enhancing magnetic field management and reducing eddy currents, and are stacked in the wireless power charging apparatus to improve shielding and transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional magnetic sheet with uniform structure is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the shielding and transmission efficiency of electromagnetic fields is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding and transmission efficiencyVSAvoidmagnetic sheet structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic sheet is divided into multiple regions (first region and second region) with different crack line orientations. Each region has crack lines formed in specific directions (first direction and second direction respectively), creating segmented functional zones that collectively improve electromagnetic field shielding and transmission efficiency while managing eddy currents more effectively than a uniform structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the magnetic sheet are given different local structures through crack lines oriented in different directions. The first region has crack lines in a first direction while the second region has crack lines in a second direction, allowing each local area to optimize its magnetic properties for specific electromagnetic field management requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the magnetic sheet structure is made complex to improve performance, then shielding efficiency improves, but the manufacturing process becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding efficiencyVSAvoidcrack line formation process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The crack lines in both regions are formed at regular intervals, creating periodic patterns. This periodic structure achieves complex electromagnetic field management functionality while maintaining manufacturability through systematic, repeating formation processes rather than irregular complex patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Volume of moving object

If the magnetic sheet is made thinner to enable miniaturization, then device size is reduced, but the shielding and transmission efficiency may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of relying solely on increasing thickness to improve shielding efficiency, the invention introduces directional complexity in the plane dimension through crack lines oriented in different directions in different regions. This dimensional approach allows thin magnetic sheets to achieve enhanced electromagnetic field management through in-plane structural variation rather than out-of-plane thickness increase.

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