Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-length coil arrangement is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to various rotatable components of different sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The coil arrangement is divided into multiple individual coils that can be selectively used. Each coil is independently attachable to the carrier element, allowing the system to be configured with different numbers and arrangements of coils to match various component circumferences, thereby achieving adaptability without requiring a completely different structure for each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The coil arrangement transitions from a fixed static structure to a dynamic configurable system. The carrier element allows coils to be attached and detached in different positions and configurations, enabling the same basic structure to adapt dynamically to different rotatable component sizes and shapes.
2Ease of operation
If an endless coil arrangement is used, then flexibility and ease of attachment are improved, but the length cannot be precisely adapted to specific component circumferences
Solution Approach 1:
The endless coil arrangement is segmented into individual coils with defined start and end points. This segmentation allows precise adaptation by selecting and attaching only the necessary number of coils to match the specific circumference of the target component, while maintaining the ease of attachment provided by the modular carrier element design.
Solution Approach 2:
Different sections of the coil arrangement can be optimized for different purposes. The modular design allows specific local configurations of coils to be selected and attached to match the local requirements of different rotatable components, achieving both ease of operation and precise length adaptation.
3Loss of energy
If multiple coils are connected in series, then the energy transmission efficiency is improved, but the complexity of connection and detachment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coil system is segmented into modular units that can be connected in series to improve energy transmission efficiency when needed, while also allowing individual coils to be independently attached or detached. This modular segmentation reduces connection complexity compared to a fully integrated system, as each coil can be handled as a separate unit with standardized connection interfaces.

AI summary
A coil arrangement for the wireless electromagnetic transmission of energy includes a carrier which forms a main direction of extent. On the carrier element, are attached in succession in the main direction of extent and connected to one another. The carrier element comprises a ferrite material and at least one desired parting location which is designed as a perforation and/or notch arrangement. The coil arrangement can be easily adapted in a flexible way to a rotatable component and attached thereto. This makes easy wireless electromagnetic transmission of energy possible.
