Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing costs of raw materials and energy have raised the production costs of electrical devices such as induction motors, which are not efficiently designed to reduce material usage and energy consumption.
Innovation Solution
The method involves designing a second electrical apparatus with a winding configuration that includes multiple coils coupled in parallel, where the number of turns and material usage are reduced while maintaining or increasing inductance, thereby reducing the amount of conductive material and iron used.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If traditional series winding configuration is used, then inductance is maintained, but amount of conductive material and iron used increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single winding into multiple windings (first winding and second winding), each with fewer turns, coupled in parallel. This segmentation reduces the amount of conductive material and iron required for each individual winding while maintaining the overall inductance through the parallel configuration and magnetic coupling between windings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple windings in parallel configuration with magnetic coupling to achieve the same inductance function as a single series winding. By merging the functionality of multiple reduced windings, the patent maintains the required inductance while reducing total material usage.
2Quantity of substance
If number of turns is reduced, then material usage decreases, but inductance decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the electrical configuration parameter from series to parallel coupling of multiple windings. This parameter change allows each winding to have fewer turns (reducing material) while the parallel configuration and magnetic coupling maintain the overall inductance at the required level.
3Reliability
If traditional design is used, then performance is maintained, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the single high-material winding into multiple windings with reduced material each, the patent reduces total material costs while maintaining performance through the combined parallel configuration and magnetic coupling effect.
4Ease of manufacture
If amount of iron is reduced, then production cost decreases, but energy efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the iron usage into multiple windings, each requiring less iron, while the parallel configuration and magnetic coupling maintain the magnetic field strength and energy efficiency equivalent to traditional single-winding designs.
