Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for manufacturing network transformers face challenges in packaging coils, as they either loosen or are stressed by glue, leading to inductance value attenuation and conflicting production approaches that increase costs.

Innovation Solution

A manufacturing method for SMD network transformers involves creating a glue frame as an intermediate piece for packaging welding positions, allowing for convenient bonding and complete packaging of coils within the glue frame, which can be electroplated and molded in an integral structure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the coil is packaged in glue material to prevent loosening, then the coil stability is improved, but the glue material stresses the magnetic ring causing inductance value attenuation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil stabilityVSAvoidinductance value
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the packaging process into two distinct stages: first packaging the welding position with glue material to fix the coil, then separately packaging the coil in a mold cavity. This segmentation allows the welding position to be secured without the magnetic ring being stressed by excessive glue material, thereby maintaining inductance value while preventing coil loosening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The welding position is packaged with glue material in advance, before the coil is placed in the mold cavity. This preliminary action secures the welding position and prevents loosening, while the subsequent separate packaging of the coil in the mold cavity avoids stress on the magnetic ring, preserving the inductance value.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the coil is not packaged in glue material to avoid stress on the magnetic ring, then the inductance value is maintained, but the coil may loosen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinductance valueVSAvoidcoil stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the packaging of the welding position from the packaging of the coil. The welding position is packaged with glue material to prevent loosening, while the coil is packaged in a mold cavity without excessive glue material stressing the magnetic ring, thus maintaining inductance value.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a mold cavity as an intermediary structure for packaging the coil. The mold cavity provides a confined space that secures the coil without requiring excessive glue material that would stress the magnetic ring, thereby maintaining inductance value while preventing loosening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If network transformers are manufactured separately to handle different packaging requirements, then product quality is maintained, but device cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct qualityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two previously separate manufacturing processes into one integrated process. The welding position is packaged with glue material in the same mold cavity where the coil is subsequently packaged. This merging allows different packaging requirements to be satisfied simultaneously, maintaining product quality while reducing manufacturing cost and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The mold cavity serves multiple functions: it packages the welding position with glue material to prevent loosening, and simultaneously packages the coil without stressing the magnetic ring. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate manufacturing processes, reducing cost while maintaining product quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
