Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional resolver stator structures face reduced angle detection accuracy due to external magnetic flux interference, as the electromagnetic shield does not effectively prevent magnetic noise from entering the stator from the opposite surface, leading to inaccurate rotation position detection in rotating electrical machines.

Innovation Solution

A stator structure comprising a stator core with radially extending teeth, insulators, and shield plates attached on both sides of the stator core with coil covers in between, which prevents external magnetic flux from entering the stator by covering it from both axial directions and maintaining the shield plates non-contact with the stator core.

1Object-affected harmful factors

If an electromagnetic shield covers the teeth on one surface side of the stator, then magnetic noise from that side is reduced, but magnetic flux from the outside can enter the stator from the other surface side, reducing angle detection accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The electromagnetic shield is divided into two separate shield plates that are positioned on opposite sides of the stator core, with the coil cover interposed between them. This segmentation allows each shield plate to effectively block magnetic flux from its respective side, preventing magnetic noise from entering the stator from either direction while maintaining angle detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding approach transitions from single-sided coverage to dual-sided coverage by adding a second shield plate on the opposite side of the stator core. This dimensional expansion in the axial direction ensures comprehensive magnetic flux blocking from both sides, eliminating the vulnerability of single-sided shielding.

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the electromagnetic shield covers the teeth, then magnetic shielding is provided, but the stator core and electromagnetic shield are in contact, allowing magnetic flux to enter through the shield

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The coil cover is introduced as an intermediary component positioned between the stator core and the shield plates. This intermediate layer electrically isolates the shield plates from the stator core, preventing magnetic flux from passing through contact points while maintaining the magnetic shielding effect. The coil cover acts as a non-magnetic barrier that preserves shielding effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The coil cover is strategically positioned only where the shield plates would otherwise contact the stator core, providing localized electrical isolation at critical contact points. This local application of the intermediary principle maintains shielding effectiveness without requiring complete separation of all components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
