Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a magnetic suction ring is used to ensure magnetic strength, then the magnetic suction force is improved, but the wall thickness must be increased to more than 1.5 mm, which increases the overall diameter by more than 3 mm, thereby increasing the weight and diameter of the connecting wire
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses composite material structure by combining magnetic particles with plastic material to create the magnetic suction ring. This allows the ring to have sufficient magnetic strength while maintaining a thinner wall structure, thereby reducing the overall diameter and weight of the connecting wire compared to using solid magnetic material alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic particles are distributed within the plastic body of the suction ring, creating localized magnetic properties where needed. This allows the ring to achieve sufficient magnetic suction force without requiring uniform thick walls throughout, enabling a lighter and more compact design.
2Force
If a magnetic suction ring with sufficient strength is used, then the magnetic suction force is improved, but the overall diameter of the magnetic suction ring increases by more than 3 mm
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic suction ring is constructed as a composite structure with magnetic particles embedded in a plastic matrix. This composite approach provides sufficient magnetic strength in a thinner profile, reducing the outer diameter by more than 3 mm compared to traditional solid magnetic rings while maintaining the required suction force.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the magnetic suction ring by using a composite structure with magnetic particles distributed in plastic. This allows optimization of the ring's diameter and wall thickness while maintaining adequate magnetic suction force, achieving a more compact design.
3Adaptability or versatility
If magnetic suction portions are used on two sets of magnetic suction heads, then magnetic suction storage is enabled, but the magnetic suction portions need to be precisely aligned to be suctioned, making them inconvenient to use
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic suction heads are designed with universal magnetic suction capability on both ends, allowing them to connect with each other or with magnetic surfaces in multiple orientations. This multi-functional design enables flexible connection without requiring precise alignment, improving ease of operation while maintaining magnetic suction storage capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic suction connection is designed to be dynamic and flexible rather than rigid and precision-dependent. The magnetic field provides a tolerance zone that allows the suction heads to connect in various positions and orientations, making the alignment process more convenient and user-friendly.

AI summary
A magnetic suction head includes a connecting wire, both ends of the connecting wire are provided with connecting heads, and two sets of the connecting heads are fixedly connected with the connecting wire through insulating layers respectively. Outer walls of two sets of the insulating layers are provided with magnetic sleeves, and the outer walls of the two sets of the insulating layers are magnetically suctioned together. By setting the magnetic sleeves at the two sets of the connecting heads, and the magnetic sleeves are molded by injection molding of a magnetic media and a plastic body. On the one hand, magnetic distribution is uniform, which is convenient for magnetic suction of the two sets of magnetic suction heads. On the other hand, it can reduce a weight and a structural dimension of the magnetic suction head, thereby improving usage experience.
