VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional noise filter configuration is used with special X condensers, then magnetic coupling suppression is achieved, but device complexity increases and typical condensers cannot be utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic couplingVSAvoidcondenser structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful magnetic coupling effect into a beneficial cancellation mechanism by arranging wiring leads to intersect odd-number times, causing magnetic fluxes to oppose and cancel each other, thus suppressing normal-mode noise without requiring special condenser structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the spatial arrangement parameter of wiring leads (intersecting odd-number times) rather than changing the condenser structure itself, allowing typical condensers to be used while achieving magnetic coupling suppression through altered wiring configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If condensers are arranged to suppress magnetic coupling by non-parallel current vectors, then magnetic coupling is reduced, but circuit area increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent moves the magnetic coupling suppression mechanism from spatial arrangement of condensers (2D plane) to spatial arrangement of wiring leads in 3D space, allowing condensers to be placed closer together while achieving suppression through lead intersection geometry

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If wiring leads are arranged to intersect odd-number times, then magnetic flux cancellation is achieved, but wiring complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic flux couplingVSAvoidwiring arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs asymmetric wiring lead arrangement where leads intersect an odd number of times (1, 3, 5...) rather than symmetric non-intersecting or even-intersection patterns, creating the necessary magnetic flux opposition while maintaining practical wiring feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
