Magnetic Shield Eddy Current Suppression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Magnetic flux leakage from power transmission systems leads to electromagnetic field radiation, which is not effectively suppressed by existing magnetic shields, resulting in inefficiencies in noncontact power transmission.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic shield configuration with a first magnetic sheet, a conductive metal sheet, and a second magnetic sheet is employed, where the conductive sheet generates an eddy current that is contained by the second magnetic sheet, preventing electromagnetic field leakage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a metal sheet is used in the magnetic shield to block magnetic flux leakage, then the shielding effect is improved, but electromagnetic field radiation increases due to eddy current generation
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic shield is segmented into multiple layers with different material properties: a first magnetic sheet for guiding magnetic flux, a metal sheet for blocking magnetic flux leakage, and a second magnetic sheet for containing eddy currents. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function while mitigating the overall harmful effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The second magnetic sheet acts as an intermediary between the metal sheet and the external environment. It contains the eddy currents generated in the metal sheet and prevents them from radiating electromagnetic fields outward, thus mediating between the necessary metal sheet component and the harmful radiation effect.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a double-layer magnetic shield structure is used to suppress magnetic flux leakage, then the shielding effectiveness is improved, but eddy current generation and electromagnetic field radiation are not adequately suppressed
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic shield uses a composite structure combining different materials: magnetic sheets (for magnetic flux management) and metal sheets (for magnetic flux blocking). This composite approach leverages the strengths of each material while addressing their individual weaknesses through proper layering and configuration.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration effectively suppresses electromagnetic field radiation to the outside, enhancing the reliability of power transmission and reception in noncontact power systems.
Implementation Method 1
magnetic flux that reaches the metal sheet generates an eddy current on a surface of the metal sheet
Implementation Method 2
magnetic flux emitted from the coil enters the inside of the magnetic sheet, thereby suppressing the leakage of the magnetic flux to the outside
Implementation Method 3
a magnetic shield configured by a first magnetic sheet, a second magnetic sheet, and a conductive sheet interposed between the first magnetic sheet and the second magnetic sheet
