Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional resolver device installation structures can lead to stator distortion, compromising angle detection accuracy, and additional components may not efficiently reduce strain due to differences in strength between thin shield plates and thick stators.

Innovation Solution

The resolver device is designed with a stator having specific winding configurations and fixing points to minimize distortion, where the number of exciting orders, double axial angles, and inner diameter deformation orders are optimized to improve mounting accuracy and reduce waveform distortion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the resolver stator is fixed to the mounting part with multiple bolts, then mounting accuracy is ensured, but stator distortion occurs due to installation stress

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting accuracyVSAvoidstator distortion
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and pre-positioning the resolver stator with the mounting part before final bolting. The stator is temporarily fixed at multiple positions, and the optimal position that minimizes distortion is determined in advance, then final tightening is performed at that predetermined position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters by optimizing the number, position, and tightening sequence of bolts. By varying these parameters and selecting the combination that produces minimal stator distortion, the patent resolves the contradiction between secure mounting and distortion prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If additional components are added to reduce distortion, then strain reduction is attempted, but the effect is insufficient due to strength differences between thin shield plates and thick stators

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestrain reductionVSAvoidadditional components
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the shielding function from a separate shield plate component and integrates it directly into the resolver stator structure. This eliminates the need for additional shield plates while maintaining the distortion reduction effect, as the stator itself provides both structural and shielding functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the shield plate and stator into a single integrated structure. By combining these two components, the patent achieves both mechanical support and distortion reduction without requiring separate parts, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the number of fixing points is increased, then mounting stability is improved, but inner diameter deformation of the stator increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidinner diameter deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by distributing fixing points non-uniformly around the stator perimeter. Instead of equal spacing, certain regions have more fixing points while others have fewer, optimizing the distribution to maintain mounting stability while minimizing overall inner diameter deformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by using a staged tightening process where fixing points are secured in sequences rather than all at once. This dynamic approach allows gradual stress distribution, maintaining stability while reducing cumulative deformation effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
