Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional PMDC motors face difficulties in installing and maintaining the Hall sensing module due to its interference with the internal magnet field, leading to inaccuracies in revolving speed and direction detection, and increased labor and maintenance costs.

Innovation Solution

The Hall sensing module is positioned on the gear reducer, with a simplified positioning structure and magnetic field interference elimination, allowing for improved installation, maintenance, and operation by placing the magnet ring on the revolving or output shaft, and using a specific arrangement of components like positioning blocks, connectors, and screws for secure fixation.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the Hall sensing module is installed in the motor body, then the revolving speed and direction can be detected, but the installation difficulty increases and the operation is affected by the internal magnet field

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The Hall sensing module is extracted from the motor body and relocated to the external side of the motor. The magnet ring is positioned on the output shaft of the gear reducer, allowing the Hall sensor to detect rotational position without being installed inside the motor body, thereby eliminating installation difficulties while maintaining detection functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The gear reducer serves as an intermediary mechanism between the motor and the load. By placing the magnet ring on the gear reducer's output shaft and the Hall sensor on the external side, the system uses the gear reducer as a mediator to transmit rotational information without requiring direct installation within the motor's magnetic field environment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the Hall sensing module is installed in the motor body, then the revolving speed and direction can be detected, but the operation is affected by the internal magnet field leading to inaccuracies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidmagnetic field interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The Hall sensing module is extracted from the motor body's internal environment where strong magnetic fields exist. By relocating it to the external side and using the gear reducer's output shaft as the reference point, the sensor operates in a magnetic field environment that does not interfere with its detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The internal magnet field of the motor, which was previously a source of interference when the Hall sensor was installed inside, is no longer problematic because the sensor is positioned externally. The motor's own magnetic field drives the rotor and magnet ring, which in turn generates the magnetic signal that the external Hall sensor detects, converting the potential harm into the detection mechanism itself

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

3Measurement precision

If the Hall sensing module is installed in the motor body, then the revolving speed and direction can be detected, but the maintenance cost and labor increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidmaintenance ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The Hall sensing module is extracted from the motor body and positioned on the external side, making it accessible for maintenance without requiring disassembly of the motor. The modular design with the magnet ring on the gear reducer allows independent access to both the sensor and the magnetic reference element

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into distinct modules: the motor body, the gear reducer with magnet ring, and the externally mounted Hall sensing module. This segmentation allows each component to be independently accessed, maintained, or replaced without affecting the others, significantly reducing maintenance complexity and labor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
