Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge is to develop a wireless power transceiver that can be integrated into thinner display apparatuses while maintaining high power receiving efficiency, as traditional wide coil designs may not fit within the thinner form factors of modern displays, and existing solutions do not adequately address aesthetic concerns of exposed power lines in wall-mounted TVs.

Innovation Solution

A wireless power transceiver is designed with a magnetic body in a rod shape featuring a solenoid coil and a dual coil wound around its sides, where the dual coil is perpendicular to the solenoid coil and connected in series, allowing for efficient power reception and operation as a repeater, and is configured to be physically separated yet coupled by a magnetic field, with options for spiral or helical winding and capacitors to manage voltage differences.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If a wireless power receiver with a wide coil is used for efficient power transmission, then power receiving efficiency is improved, but the thickness of the display apparatus increases making it incompatible with thin form factors

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a planar coil structure to a three-dimensional rod-shaped magnetic body with coils wound around it. The solenoid coil is wound along the longitudinal direction while dual coils are wound around the lateral surfaces, creating a volumetric magnetic field structure that achieves high power receiving efficiency without increasing the thickness of the display apparatus.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent integrates multiple coil structures (solenoid coil and dual coils) around a central rod-shaped magnetic body, nesting them in a compact configuration. The solenoid coil is wound around the longitudinal axis while dual coils are wound around the lateral surfaces, all nested within the same spatial envelope to achieve high efficiency without increasing thickness.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical connection of power lines with a wireless power transmission system using electromagnetic induction. The rod-shaped magnetic body with solenoid and dual coils generates and receives magnetic fields to transmit power wirelessly, eliminating the need for visible power cables and maintaining aesthetic appearance while ensuring reliable power supply.

Inventive Principle:
