Solution Overview

Problem

The existing connection structure between a resolver and a lead wire in brushless motors is prone to damage due to external forces, such as vibration, leading to reliability issues and increased production costs, especially when space is limited, requiring a secure and compact connection solution.

Innovation Solution

A connector portion with a guiding groove that directs the lead wire in an axial direction, allowing for a secure connection without adhesives and minimizing the radial dimension of the resolver, thereby reducing the impact of external forces on the connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the lead wire is connected to the terminal member in a conventional manner, then the connection structure is simple, but the connection is prone to damage from external forces such as vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidconnection structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A resin layer is introduced as an intermediary substance between the lead wire and terminal member. The resin layer penetrates into the lead wire and固化 to form a mechanical interlock, acting as a mediator that bonds the two components together while protecting the connection from external forces like vibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection structure transitions from a simple planar connection to a three-dimensional interlocking structure. The resin layer penetrates vertically into the lead wire cross-section, creating bonding in the depth dimension rather than just surface-level attachment, thereby enhancing connection strength.

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

2Volume of moving object

If the radial size of the resolver is reduced, then the compactness is improved, but the lead wire connection becomes more vulnerable to external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresolver radial sizeVSAvoidlead wire connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The lead wire connection structure utilizes the axial dimension (depth direction) by having the resin layer penetrate into the lead wire cross-section. This vertical penetration creates a strong mechanical interlock that compensates for the reduced radial size, maintaining connection reliability while enabling compact radial dimensions.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The connection structure combines the lead wire, terminal member, and resin layer into a composite assembly. The resin material fills and penetrates the lead wire structure, creating a composite bond that integrates multiple materials with complementary properties to achieve both compactness and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
