Solution Overview

Problem

Electric work machines, such as driver drills, generate noise that can cause discomfort to operators and those nearby, primarily due to resonance in the stator core.

Innovation Solution

The electric work machine incorporates a stator core fastened to a bracket and a support using screws, which increases the rigidity of the stator core, thereby raising its resonant frequency and reducing noise through minimized resonance.

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the stator core is left unsupported, then the device complexity is reduced, but noise is generated due to resonance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is divided into a first support and a second support that are positioned at different locations (front and rear ends) of the stator core. These supports are connected via a connection portion, creating a segmented support system that reduces stator core resonance more effectively than a single support structure, thereby reducing noise without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first support and second support are positioned at specific locations (front end and rear end respectively) of the stator core, providing localized support where needed. This targeted approach reduces resonance at critical points while maintaining overall structural efficiency and minimizing unnecessary complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the stator core rigidity is increased, then resonant frequency is raised and noise is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovenoiseVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first support, second support, and connection portion are merged into an integrated support structure that acts as a unified component. This merged structure increases stator core rigidity and raises resonant frequency to reduce noise, while the integration minimizes the number of separate parts and assembly complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
