Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for manufacturing stator cores, such as rivet stacking and inter-chip gluing, face issues like insulation damage, increased thickness, and prolonged processing time due to the need for thinner silicon steel sheets and higher precision in gluing, which hinder productivity and increase costs.

Innovation Solution

A device and method for gluing the lateral sides of stator cores using a silicon steel sheet stacking mold with glue spray nozzles that uniformly apply glue to the inner or outer sides of the cores, allowing for efficient stacking and punching without the need for rivets or precise inter-chip gluing, thereby simplifying the process and reducing equipment costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If rivet stacking process is used, then processing time is reduced and productivity is enhanced, but insulation damage occurs due to riveting points breaking thin silicon steel sheets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidinsulation integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the riveting points from the silicon steel sheets entirely, extracting the harmful element that causes insulation damage. Instead of punching holes for rivets, the sheets are stacked directly and bonded using external clamping and adhesive mechanisms, eliminating the source of insulation failure while maintaining stacking efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces adhesive agents as intermediaries between the silicon steel sheets to achieve bonding without mechanical rivets. The adhesive acts as a mediator that provides the necessary bonding strength while preserving the insulation integrity of the thin sheets, resolving the conflict between fast processing and insulation protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If inter-chip gluing process is used, then insulation problems are avoided, but stacking thickness increases due to glue layers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsulation integrityVSAvoidstacking thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies adhesive agents in a controlled, partial manner rather than as continuous thick layers. The adhesive is applied only at specific bonding interfaces where needed, using minimal quantities to achieve sufficient bonding strength, thereby avoiding excessive thickness increase while maintaining insulation integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of energy

If more stator chips are used to reduce iron losses with thinner sheets, then iron losses are reduced, but processing time increases due to more inter-chip gluing operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveiron lossesVSAvoidgluing process time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple stacking operations into a single integrated process. Multiple silicon steel sheets are stacked simultaneously in one operation rather than being glued one by one, and then bonded collectively using adhesive agents. This merging of operations dramatically reduces processing time while allowing the use of many thin sheets to minimize iron losses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Productivity

If higher accuracy glue dispenser is used to enhance productivity with thinner sheets, then processing speed increases, but equipment cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidequipment cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs adhesive agents that can be applied through simple dispensing mechanisms without requiring high-precision control systems. The adhesive formulation and application method are designed to be self-regulating, allowing accurate bonding even with basic dispensing equipment, thereby achieving high productivity without expensive specialized equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
