Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electric pumps face issues with stator vibration leading to noise and potential detachment of electronic components due to inadequate fixation, resulting in high costs and easy loosening or falling off of coil springs.

Innovation Solution

A stator design incorporating an elastic member with one end fixed onto an insulating frame, the other end resisting against a bobbin to axially position the stator, using annular undulations with sinking and rising segments to secure the stator against the casing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the stator is fixed by coil springs and bolts, then the stator can be secured to the housing, but the coil springs easily loosen or fall off, increasing maintenance costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestator fixation reliabilityVSAvoidmaintenance cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the coil springs from the fixation system entirely, replacing them with an integrated elastic member that is directly formed as part of the stator structure. This extraction of the problematic spring component eliminates the loosening and falling off issues while maintaining the necessary elastic fixation function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member is merged with the stator structure, forming an integrated component rather than a separate part. The elastic member is directly formed on the stator yoke, combining the stator body and fixation element into a single unified structure, thereby eliminating the need for separate coil springs and bolts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Device complexity

If the stator is not sufficiently fixed, then the structure can be simple, but vibration occurs due to alternating electromagnetic fields, increasing noise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation structure complexityVSAvoidvibration-induced noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member is positioned specifically at the stator yoke where fixation is needed, providing localized elastic support and vibration damping. The undulating structure with rising and sinking segments creates specific contact points that absorb vibration while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member provides dynamic fixation by allowing controlled movement and deformation in response to alternating electromagnetic loads. The undulating structure can flex and absorb vibration energy, adapting to the dynamic operating conditions rather than providing rigid fixed fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If the stator is not sufficiently fixed, then the fixation structure can be simple, but electronic components such as the printed circuit board loosen or fall off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation structure complexityVSAvoidelectronic component stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member is merged with the stator structure, forming an integrated component rather than a separate part. The elastic member is directly formed on the stator yoke, combining the stator body and fixation element into a single unified structure, thereby eliminating the need for separate coil springs and bolts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member is divided into multiple rising and sinking segments arranged in an undulating pattern. This segmentation provides multiple contact points and distribution of fixation force, enhancing the stability of electronic components while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
