Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for producing radially anisotropic multipolar magnets are limited in manufacturing magnets with an inner diameter less than 3 mm, which is a challenge for high-precision micro-motors, as they require small-sized, lightweight, and energy-saving permanent magnetic components.

Innovation Solution

A novel method that removes the mold core and arranges oriented poles outside the mold, with the sum of their widths or arc lengths greater than 0.7πD, allowing for the production of radially anisotropic multipolar solid cylindrical magnets with any arbitrarily small inner diameter, using a series of magnetic fields and stress applications to align and demagnetize magnetic particles within a mold without rotating them.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a mold core is used in existing production methods, then radially anisotropic multipolar magnetic rings can be produced, but the inner diameter cannot be less than 15 mm

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinner diameter precisionVSAvoidminimum inner diameter
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the mold core from the production system entirely. Instead of using a central mold core that limits the minimum inner diameter to 15 mm, the invention extracts this limiting component and replaces it with oriented poles arranged outside the mold, enabling production of magnets with arbitrarily small inner diameters including those less than 3 mm

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the spatial arrangement from a central mold core configuration to an external oriented poles configuration. By moving the orientation function from the internal central axis to external poles arranged around the mold periphery, the system achieves freedom in inner diameter design while maintaining radial anisotropy and multipolar characteristics

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

2Reliability

If the sum of widths of oriented poles is less than 0.7πD, then the magnetic field distribution is insufficient, but if it is greater than 0.7πD, then the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic field distribution qualityVSAvoidoriented poles arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a quantitative parameter threshold (sum of oriented pole widths ≥ 0.7πD) that optimizes the balance between magnetic field distribution quality and device complexity. This parameter change provides a clear design criterion that ensures reliable magnetic field generation while controlling the complexity of the oriented poles arrangement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a molding method, a manufacturing method and a molding device for a radially anisotropic multipolar solid magnet, a micro-motor rotor using this magnet, and a component for a motor. A mold core is removed from a mold, and oriented poles, the number of which is the same as that of poles of a radially anisotropic multipolar solid cylindrical magnet, are arranged outside the mold. The sum L of widths or arc lengths of top ends of all the oriented poles is greater than or equal to 0.9πD, where D is the outer diameter of a mold sleeve. The magnet production method breaks through the dimensional restriction to the manufacturing of radially anisotropic multipolar magnets in the prior art, and can produce radially anisotropic multipolar magnets having an inner diameter or diameter less than 3 mm or even less for high-precision micro-motors.
