Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with adjacent magnetic components often experience operational errors due to magnetic interference, making it challenging to mount various electronic components in limited spaces without errors.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device design incorporating a shield structure made of conductive material, positioned between magnetic components to absorb magnetic flux and prevent interference, including a first shield structure on the side surface and a second shield structure extended vertically to avoid overlapping with magnets, ensuring accurate operation even when components are adjacently installed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic components including magnets are adjacently mounted in limited space, then device functionality is enhanced, but magnetic interference causes operational errors
Solution Approach 1:
A shield structure made of magnetically shieldable material is introduced as an intermediary element between adjacent magnetic components. This shield structure includes a first shield structure formed at the side surface and a second shield structure extended vertically, creating a magnetic barrier that prevents direct magnetic flux interaction while allowing both components to function in close proximity
2Volume of moving object
If various electronic components are mounted in limited space, then device compactness is improved, but magnetic flux interference between components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The shield structure serves as a magnetic flux barrier positioned between adjacent components with magnets. The first shield structure at the side surface and the second shield structure extended in vertical direction work together to redirect and contain magnetic flux within each component's designated space, preventing harmful interference while maintaining compact device volume
Solution Approach 2:
The shield structure is strategically positioned only where magnetic interference occurs between specific adjacent components, rather than providing universal shielding throughout the device. This localized approach minimizes the impact on device compactness while effectively addressing the magnetic flux interference problem in critical areas
