Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If a double layered coil structure is used to reduce coil size, then the coil size is reduced, but parasitic capacitance imbalance occurs leading to increased voltage to ground on metallic plates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by intentionally creating different winding directions in the first and second layers. The first layer winds in one direction while the second layer winds in the opposite direction, which asymmetrically distributes the parasitic capacitance to achieve balance overall. This resolves the contradiction by using asymmetric local structures to achieve symmetric global performance in terms of capacitance balance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies inversion by reversing the winding direction in the second layer compared to the first layer. Instead of both layers winding in the same direction, the second layer winds in the opposite direction, which inverts the capacitance distribution pattern and achieves balance between the two layers, preventing voltage imbalance on the metallic plate.
2Volume of moving object
If winding wire portions in adjacent layers are placed close together to reduce coil volume, then the coil volume is reduced, but loss due to closing effect increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing an insulating member between the winding wire portions of adjacent layers. This insulating member acts as a mediator that physically separates the conductive elements, preventing the closing effect while maintaining the compact multilayered structure. The insulating member allows the layers to be close together for volume reduction without causing energy loss.
3Volume of moving object
If spiral coils in the first and second layers are connected in series to reduce size, then the coil size is reduced, but productivity decreases due to sequential winding requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the coil into two separate layers with distinct winding processes. Each layer can be wound independently and simultaneously in different locations, then connected through insulating members. This segmentation enables parallel production of multiple coil sections, significantly improving productivity while maintaining the reduced size benefits of the multilayered structure.

AI summary
The present invention provides a coil which maintains a balance of a parasitic capacitance and has a structure that can be multilayered. The coil is a coil with a stacked structure which includes winding wire portions formed of a wire wound for several turns in a plane in each layer, wherein the winding wire portions 2a and 2b in each layer include a first winding portion formed by performing a single turn of winding in each layer in a same winding direction from a bottom layer to an uppermost layer, and a second winding portion formed by performing a single turn of winding in each layer in a same winding direction from the uppermost layer to the bottom layer, and the winding directions of the first winding portion and the second winding portion are identical to each other and the first winding portion and the second winding portion are joined in the uppermost layer or the bottom layer.
