Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing motors in compact power tools face challenges in reducing their radial and axial dimensions while maintaining strong power output, due to the connection relationship between the input and output ends of the winding and external power control wires, making them less adaptable to small spaces.
Innovation Solution
The motor design incorporates connection terminals on the stator core, positioned on the side surface, which reduces the axial dimension and enhances adaptability by optimizing the arrangement of the terminal assembly and stator laminations, allowing for adjustable dimensions based on power output requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the motor uses traditional winding connection structures with external power control wires, then the connection reliability is improved, but the radial and axial dimensions of the motor increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the terminal assembly with the stator core by integrating connection terminals directly into the stator laminations. The input and output ends of the winding are connected to these integrated terminals through the access slot, eliminating the need for separate external connection structures and reducing overall motor dimensions while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the axial dimension of the stator core by forming connection terminals that extend axially from the stator laminations. The access slot is configured to receive terminal assemblies in the axial direction, allowing compact wire connections without increasing radial dimensions, thus achieving compactness in one dimension while maintaining connection functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the motor dimensions are reduced to fit compact power tools, then the adaptability to small spaces is improved, but the power output capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the stator core into multiple laminations with different functional regions. First-type laminations provide connection arms and access slots for terminal connections, while second-type laminations provide winding receiving slots. This segmentation allows optimized space utilization and maintains electromagnetic performance in a compact configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables adjustable motor dimensions by varying the number of stator laminations stacked along the axial direction. This parameter change allows the motor to be customized for different power output requirements while maintaining the compact integrated terminal structure, thus adapting to different space constraints and power needs.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the terminal assembly is mechanically fixed to the stator frame, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the terminal assembly with the stator core structure by integrating connection terminals directly into the stator laminations. The terminal assembly becomes an inherent part of the stator rather than a separate mechanically fixed component, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining structural stability through the integrated design.
