Split Structure Flux Shield for Generator Cost Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional magnetic flux shields for generators are costly due to their integrated fabrication, which increases production and assembly costs, especially when dealing with complex structures, and they do not easily accommodate varying generator specifications.
Innovation Solution
A split structure flux shield with radial, left-right, or top-bottom symmetry, made of copper or aluminum, with intervals between split structures ranging from 1 to 100 mm, allowing for easy fabrication, assembly, and adaptation to different generator shapes and specifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If magnetic flux shield plates are fabricated in an integrated manner to fully cover both ends of the generator, then magnetic flux shielding effectiveness is improved, but production cost and material cost are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The flux shield is divided into multiple separate plates (first flux shield plate and second flux shield plate) that can be manufactured independently and then assembled together. This segmentation allows each plate to be produced more easily and at lower cost while collectively providing the same shielding effectiveness as a single integrated shield.
2Reliability
If magnetic flux shield plates are fabricated in an integrated manner, then magnetic flux shielding effectiveness is improved, but assembly complexity and production time are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The flux shield is divided into multiple separate plates that can be manufactured independently and then assembled together. This segmentation allows each plate to be produced more easily and at lower cost while collectively providing the same shielding effectiveness as a single integrated shield.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the generator has a complicated structure, then functional requirements are met, but production cost is further increased
Solution Approach 1:
The flux shield is divided into multiple separate plates that can be manufactured independently and then assembled together. This segmentation allows each plate to be produced more easily and at lower cost while collectively providing the same shielding effectiveness as a single integrated shield.
Solution Approach 2:
The separated flux shield plates can be applied to generators with various structures and specifications. The modular design provides universality, allowing the same basic component design to serve multiple functional requirements and generator types without requiring completely custom integrated shields for each application.
