Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the power transmission function from the mechanical connection cable by implementing wireless power transmission through electromagnetic induction. The working module is powered wirelessly through an induction element that receives power from the rotating magnetic element, eliminating the need for physical cable connections while maintaining reliable power supply for IoT applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical connection cable system with an electromagnetic field-based wireless power transmission system. The magnetic element generates a rotating magnetic field that induces current in the induction element, substituting the mechanical power transmission through cables with electromagnetic power transmission through space

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If wireless power transmission is implemented, then the convenience for IoT applications is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless power supplyVSAvoidadditional magnetic and induction elements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by making the magnetic element serve dual purposes: it acts as both the rotor component that rotates to drive the fan and as the power transmission element that generates the electromagnetic field for wireless power supply. Similarly, the induction element serves both as a shield case component and as the power receiving element, reducing overall device complexity through functional integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the power transmission function with existing structural components. The magnetic element is integrated into the rotor assembly, and the induction element is incorporated into the shield case structure, combining multiple functions into unified components rather than adding separate dedicated parts for wireless power transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A motor with self power generation includes a motor body, at least one magnetic element, a shield case, an induction element, a transfer circuit board and a working module. The motor body includes a shaft member. The at least one magnetic element, located at the shaft member, is to generate a dynamic electromagnetic induction space while the shaft member rotates. The shield case, located close to the shaft member, is to shield the shaft member. The induction element, fixed at the shield case, has a portion located inside the dynamic electromagnetic induction space to generate an induction power while the shaft member rotates. The transfer circuit board has a transfer circuit electrically coupled with the induction element to receive the induction power to further generate a working power. The working module, electrically coupled with the transfer circuit, is to receive the working power to execute a default work.
