Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If wires are directly wound on tools to form high-voltage coils and then cast to form high-voltage windings, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the heat dissipation and short-circuit impact resistance are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidheat dissipation and short-circuit impact resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The high-voltage winding is divided into multiple independent winding plates (first winding plate, second winding plate, etc.) arranged in sequence along the axial direction. Each winding plate contains winding grooves for forming coil sections, creating a segmented structure that improves heat dissipation and mechanical strength while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material construction where winding plates are made from materials with good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. The combination of multiple winding plates with insulating layers and supporting structures creates a composite system that simultaneously achieves excellent heat dissipation, short-circuit resistance, and ease of manufacture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If high-voltage windings are cast with resin, then the insulation is improved, but insulation cracking and poor heat conduction occur during operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsulation performanceVSAvoidinsulation cracking and heat conduction issues
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The winding structure is segmented into multiple winding plates with insulating layers between them, eliminating the need for bulk resin casting. This segmentation prevents insulation cracking by distributing mechanical stress across multiple thin layers while improving heat conduction through direct thermal paths between adjacent plates and layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the winding structure have different properties: winding plates provide structural support and heat dissipation, insulating layers provide electrical insulation, and the combination creates local optimization of both thermal and electrical properties throughout the winding assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If comb-shaped winding plates with varying tooth heights are used, then mechanical performance and heat dissipation are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanical performance and heat dissipationVSAvoidwinding plate structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The comb-shaped winding plates feature varying tooth heights with different regions optimized for specific functions: taller teeth in certain areas enhance mechanical strength and heat dissipation surfaces, while shorter teeth in other areas facilitate wire winding and insulation. This local differentiation improves overall performance without requiring entirely complex structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The complex winding plate structure is divided into standardized modular units with repeating patterns of teeth and grooves. Each winding plate follows a consistent design methodology, making the complexity manageable through modular reproduction rather than unique custom designs for each component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
