Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sheets for shielding electromagnetic waves in wireless charging systems do not effectively improve magnetic field shielding efficiency, as the distribution of magnetic materials is random and does not align with the shape of the coils, leading to inefficiencies in blocking magnetic fields from reaching unintended areas.

Innovation Solution

A sheet with a base part embedding magnetic materials at varying densities corresponding to the shape and location of the coils, with higher densities in regions aligned with the coils and their inner sides, and adjusted through a magnetic field during manufacturing to optimize magnetic flux distribution, including both powder and flake forms of magnetic materials.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If magnetic materials are randomly disposed in the base part, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the shielding efficiency of the magnetic field is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidshielding efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by varying the density of magnetic materials in different regions of the base part. Specifically, the density is higher in regions corresponding to the coil shape and inner side of the coil, and lower in other regions. This localized variation in material density optimizes shielding efficiency in critical areas while maintaining manufacturing feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If magnetic materials are uniformly distributed throughout the base part, then the manufacturing process is straightforward, but the magnetic field shielding is not optimized for specific coil regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing straightforwardnessVSAvoidmagnetic field leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by creating non-uniform distribution of magnetic materials. The density is specifically increased in regions corresponding to the coil shape and the inner side of the coil, where shielding is most critical. This targeted approach reduces magnetic field leakage in problematic areas while avoiding unnecessary material in regions where shielding is less critical.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces spatial variation in the third dimension (density) to optimize shielding. By controlling the density of magnetic materials at different locations within the base part, the invention creates a three-dimensional optimization of shielding properties that corresponds to the spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields around the coil.

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

3Reliability

If the density of magnetic material is increased throughout the entire base part, then shielding efficiency improves, but material cost and weight increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding efficiencyVSAvoidmagnetic material quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by concentrating magnetic materials only in regions where they are most needed - specifically, in the regions corresponding to the coil shape and the inner side of the coil. By varying the density locally rather than uniformly increasing it throughout the entire base part, the invention achieves effective shielding while minimizing the total quantity of magnetic material required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
