Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional stator production methods are used, then manufacturing processes are established, but production cost is high and structural integrity is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple stator components (sleeve base, tooth assemblies, coil windings, terminal insulators, and plastic packaging) into an integrated structure. The plastic-packaged body unifies these elements, eliminating separate assembly steps and reducing production costs while enhancing structural integrity through the composite plastic-metal construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by integrating metal components (iron core with silicon steel sheets, sleeve base) with plastic packaging material. This composite structure provides both the electrical and mechanical properties of metal and the protective, cost-effective characteristics of plastic, resolving the contradiction between reliability and manufacturing cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If conventional stator design is used, then basic functionality is achieved, but structural intensity is low leading to failure during long-term use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelong-term reliabilityVSAvoidstructural intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The plastic-packaged body merges the protective function of packaging with the structural function of the stator housing. This integration creates a unified structure that maintains structural intensity while providing long-term protection against environmental factors, thereby improving reliability without compromising strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The plastic-packaged body acts as a protective shell that encapsulates and protects the internal metal components. This flexible yet durable plastic shell enhances the overall structural intensity and protects against corrosion and mechanical damage, ensuring long-term reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Ease of manufacture

If conventional stator production is used, then standard assembly is achieved, but material usage is excessive and waste is generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoidmaterial waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the packaging function with the structural function into a single plastic-packaged body, the patent eliminates the need for separate packaging materials and reduces excess material usage. The integrated design maintains assembly simplicity while minimizing material waste through precise material placement and elimination of redundant components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Quantity of substance

If conventional stator design is used, then basic structural requirements are met, but production cost increases due to material usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial usageVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The use of composite materials (plastic and metal) allows the patent to reduce the quantity of expensive metal materials while maintaining structural requirements. The plastic components provide structural support at lower cost, reducing overall material consumption and production cost without compromising manufacturing ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
