Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a traditional exciter with basin frame, magnet and coil is used, then the structure is simple and production is easy, but the resonant frequency consistency between exciter and electronic product is poor resulting in low sensitivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction easeVSAvoidresonant frequency consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic assembly is divided into multiple independent magnets (first magnet, second magnet, third magnet, fourth magnet) arranged in specific patterns. This segmentation allows each magnet to be independently positioned and adjusted, enabling precise control of the magnetic field distribution and resonant frequency characteristics while maintaining simple production processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different magnets are positioned at specific locations within the housing to create localized magnetic field zones. The magnetic assemblies are arranged with specific magnetization directions to optimize the magnetic interaction with the coil assembly at different positions, achieving consistent resonant frequency across the entire exciter structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If the exciter structure is simplified for easy production, then manufacturing is easier, but the resonant frequency matching with electronic product deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction simplicityVSAvoidresonant frequency matching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic assembly uses an asymmetric arrangement of magnets with different magnetization directions. The first and second magnets have one magnetization direction while the third and fourth magnets have another, creating an optimized magnetic field pattern that achieves reliable resonant frequency matching while maintaining simple production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Power

If magnets are arranged to form closed magnetic circuit, then magnetic interaction efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic interaction efficiencyVSAvoidmagnetic assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple magnets are combined to form integrated magnetic assemblies that create closed magnetic circuits. The first magnetic assembly combines the first and second magnets, while the second magnetic assembly combines the third and fourth magnets. This merging approach achieves efficient magnetic interaction through closed flux paths while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
