Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional magnetizing methods in knitting machines require longer times to reach the preset magnetic field intensity, leading to increased magnetizing time and energy consumption.

Innovation Solution

Applying a preset magnetizing voltage that is at least 1.5 times the product of the DC resistance and peak magnetizing current of the solenoid, allowing for faster magnetization of the magnetic field reversible permanent magnet and reduced energy consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If traditional magnetizing voltage (equal to product of DC resistance and peak magnetizing current) is applied to the solenoid, then the solenoid can be operated safely within electrical limits, but the magnetizing time is long (1ms-2ms)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetizing timeVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the voltage parameter by applying a preset magnetizing voltage that is 1.5 to 5 times higher than the traditional magnetizing voltage (product of DC resistance and peak magnetizing current). This parameter change enables the magnetic field reversible permanent magnet to reach the preset magnetic field intensity much faster, reducing magnetizing time from 1-2ms to 0.2-0.5ms, while the high voltage is applied only briefly during the magnetizing pulse

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies a high-voltage magnetizing pulse in advance to rapidly magnetize the magnetic field reversible permanent magnet before the actual knitting operation begins. This preliminary high-voltage action ensures the magnet is fully magnetized and ready for immediate needle selection, eliminating the need for prolonged magnetizing voltage during operation
