Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional magnetization analysis methods are used that assume complete or non-magnetized regions, then the analysis process is simple, but the analysis accuracy deteriorates due to divergence from actual measurements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic state analysis accuracyVSAvoidanalysis method complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The permanent magnet is divided into multiple regions based on magnetization degree: complete magnetization regions and incomplete magnetization regions. Each region is assigned different magnetic characteristics (demagnetization curves) to accurately represent its actual magnetic state, resolving the contradiction by segmenting the magnet rather than treating it as uniformly magnetized or non-magnetized

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Demagnetization curves for different regions are measured and stored in advance before the actual magnetization analysis. This preliminary measurement of regional characteristics allows the analysis to accurately reflect actual magnetic states without requiring complex real-time measurements, thus improving accuracy while maintaining reasonable complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the incomplete magnetization region is not considered in the analysis, then the analysis process is simplified, but the reliability of the analysis result deteriorates due to mismatch with actual equipment characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the permanent magnet are assigned different magnetic qualities based on their actual magnetization states. Complete magnetization regions use one set of demagnetization curves while incomplete magnetization regions use another set, allowing each region to be analyzed with appropriate characteristics that match its local magnetic state, thereby improving reliability without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If demagnetization curves for incomplete magnetization regions are measured and used, then the magnetic state analysis accuracy is improved, but the measurement and analysis process becomes more complex

Solution Approach 1:

Demagnetization curves for different regions are measured and stored in advance before the actual magnetization analysis. This preliminary measurement approach separates the complex measurement task from the analysis process, allowing accurate regional characteristics to be captured once and then reused, improving measurement accuracy while making the actual analysis easier to perform

AI summary

It is possible to perform accurate magnetization analysis by considering the magnetic state of an incomplete magnetic region. A magnetization analysis device performs magnetization analysis by using a magnetizer parameter associated with a magnetizer and a magnet parameter associated with a magnet material so as to calculate a magnetization magnetic field applied to respective portions of the magnet material (S 17), calculates a recoil ratio permeability and a coercivity as region of a permanent magnet as an analysis object for the respective portions according to the calculation result of the magnetized magnetic field and the demagnetization curve associated with the incomplete magnetization region actually measured in advance (S18), and performs a magnetic field analysis by using the calculation result of the region parameter so as to calculate a state parameter indicating the magnetized state of the permanent magnet as an analysis object (S19).
