Solution Overview

Problem

Existing magnetization devices suffer from reduced efficiency and effectiveness due to the separation of the magnetization coil from the rotor's inner periphery, leading to resin cracking from vibration and heat generation.

Innovation Solution

A magnetization device with a core surrounding the rotor, a coil accommodated in a slot portion with an opening on the inner periphery, sealed with resin and closed by a sealing member to prevent resin exposure, enhancing coil proximity to the rotor and improving magnetization efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the slot portion has an opening on the inner peripheral side of the core member to bring the coil closer, then magnetization efficiency is improved, but the resin thickness is reduced causing cracks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetization efficiencyVSAvoidresin cracking
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The slot portion is divided into two functional zones: a first slot portion with an opening on the inner peripheral side for accommodating the coil and improving magnetization efficiency, and a second slot portion without an opening that provides structural support and prevents resin cracking. This segmentation allows each zone to fulfill its specific function without compromising the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different structural characteristics are applied to different regions of the slot portion. The first slot portion has an opening to enable close coil placement for efficient magnetization, while the second slot portion maintains a closed structure to ensure resin integrity and prevent cracking under thermal and mechanical stress.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If the magnetization coil is separated from the rotor with a predetermined distance, then the coil structure is simpler, but magnetization effect and efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil structureVSAvoidmagnetization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The slot portion is segmented into a first slot portion with an opening that allows the coil to be positioned close to the rotor inner periphery, eliminating the need for a predetermined separation distance while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The slot portion extends in the radial direction toward the rotor, allowing the coil to be positioned closer to the rotor by utilizing the radial dimension rather than maintaining a fixed axial separation distance.

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