Solution Overview

Problem

Electrical vehicle motors experience structural instability due to high-frequency vibrations, leading to loosening and axis line shifting, and electronic control boards are susceptible to interference from electromagnetic devices, causing operational deficiencies and malfunctions.

Innovation Solution

A motor structure with a support and separation board sandwiched between casing members, which enhances structural strength by distributing vibrations and separates the electromagnetic device from the control board to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the electromagnetic device and transmission axle are directly mounted on the housing, then the motor structure is simplified, but the housing suffers loosening of fastening elements and positional shifting due to high-frequency vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor structureVSAvoidfastening element stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The housing is segmented into a first casing member and a second casing member with a support board arranged between them. This segmentation allows the support board to act as an independent vibration-absorbing element, preventing vibration transmission to the fastening elements while maintaining the overall structural simplicity of the motor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support board serves as an intermediary element between the electromagnetic device/transmission axle and the housing. It absorbs and isolates high-frequency vibrations, preventing them from reaching the fastening elements and causing loosening, thus resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and fastening stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the electromagnetic device operates at high speed, then the motor productivity is improved, but high-frequency vibration causes axis line shifting and abrasion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor outputVSAvoidaxis line position
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The support board is pre-installed between the electromagnetic device/transmission axle and the housing before operation. It provides beforehand cushioning against high-frequency vibrations generated during high-speed operation, preventing axis line shifting and abrasion while allowing the motor to operate at high speeds for improved productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Device complexity

If the control board is placed inside the motor housing, then the motor structure is compact, but the electronic components are susceptible to electromagnetic interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor structureVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The control board is extracted from the interior space of the motor housing and mounted on the outer surface of the housing. This extraction removes the electronic components from the harmful electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic device, eliminating interference while maintaining the compact overall structure of the motor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The housing itself serves as an intermediary barrier between the electromagnetic device and the control board. By mounting the control board on the outer surface, the housing structure provides natural electromagnetic shielding, protecting the electronic components from interference while keeping the system compact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A motor structure includes a drive unit arranged in a housing to be oppositely connected to and fixedly mounted in the housing. The housing includes a first casing member and a second casing member connected together. A support and separation board is arranged and sandwiched between the first and second casing members to support the drive unit to mount thereon. The drive unit includes an electromagnetic device mounted to one side surface of the support and separation board, and a control board having a plurality of electronic components is arranged on one side surface of the support and separation board that is opposite to the electromagnetic device. As such, the structural strength is enhanced and vibration resulting from operation can be spread. The support and separation board separates the electromagnetic device and the control board from each other to reduce interference of the control board by the electromagnetic device.
