Solution Overview

Problem

The existing passive electromagnetic pens face issues with size inconsistency due to manufacturing errors and material differences, leading to inconsistent weight senses, which complicates mass production and affects the pen's performance over time.

Innovation Solution

The design includes a pen core with a first iron core and a second iron core, where the coil is wound outside the first iron core, and a pressure regulating plate that rotates to change the axial displacement of an elastic component, ensuring consistent size and weight sense by adjusting the distance between the iron cores, and incorporating a PCBA circuit board for frequency changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If a distance relationship structure of two iron cores is used to change inductance value, then the pen diameter can be reduced compared to coil-wound solenoid, but manufacturing errors and material differences cause size inconsistency and weight sense variation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepen diameterVSAvoidsize consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the distance between the two iron cores can be adjusted after assembly. The iron core holder includes an adjustment structure that allows the second iron core to move relative to the first iron core, enabling post-assembly calibration of the inductance value to compensate for manufacturing variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of iron core distance dynamically. By adjusting the distance between the two iron cores through the adjustment structure, the inductance value can be modified to compensate for manufacturing errors, ensuring consistent weight sense across different pens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If each part is made of different materials with manufacturing errors, then design flexibility is improved, but assembly produces size inconsistency and weight sense variation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign flexibilityVSAvoidweight sense consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a feedback mechanism where the actual inductance value or weight sense is measured, and the adjustment structure is used to modify the iron core distance until the desired specification is achieved. This closed-loop approach ensures consistency despite using different materials with manufacturing tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary adjustment of the iron core distance during the assembly process. The adjustment structure allows operators to pre-calibrate each pen unit before final assembly, ensuring that weight sense consistency is achieved before the pens are delivered.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If axial displacement space of elastic component is not standardized, then assembly is easier, but mass production becomes difficult due to inconsistent weight senses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidmass production efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the axial displacement space of the elastic component adjustable through the adjustment structure. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the same assembly process to accommodate variations in elastic component displacement, enabling both easy assembly and consistent mass production quality.

Inventive Principle:
