Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional stators for external rotor motors face issues such as unstable connections between the stator winding and power wire, risk of solder joint breakage, and disorderly distribution leading to component damage and reduced operational life.

Innovation Solution

A stator design featuring a stator core with teeth and slots, a patch board with a fastening device that securely fixes the weld-connecting portion between the stator winding and power wire, ensuring orderly distribution and preventing contact with other motor components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If welding is used to connect the stator winding head to the power wire, then electrical connection is achieved, but the solder joint is easy to be broken and connection is unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidsolder joint strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the connection structure into multiple functional parts: the welding area for electrical connection, the insulating area with injected insulators for protection, and the fastening area with the fastening device for mechanical securing. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally, preventing the solder joint from bearing mechanical stress that would cause breakage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The insulators act as an intermediary element between the welded connection and the external environment. By injecting insulators into the insulating cavity that surrounds the welding area, the patent provides both electrical insulation and mechanical protection to the vulnerable solder joint, preventing direct exposure to stresses that would cause failure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If no fixing device is provided at the solder joint, then the structure is simple, but the stator winding head and power wire are disorderly distributed and may contact with other components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidcomponent distribution stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The end plate serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the stator core, contains the insulating material, and incorporates the fastening device to secure the electrical connections. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate fixing components while maintaining orderly component distribution and preventing contact with other motor parts.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The invention utilizes the third dimension by injecting insulators into the insulating cavity and positioning components in different spatial layers. The fastening device extends from the end plate into the insulating cavity to secure the power wire, creating a three-dimensional arrangement that organizes components systematically and prevents disordered distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If insulators are injected and end plates are formed, then connection protection is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection protectionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the insulating function and the structural support function into a single integrated end plate assembly. The end plate is formed as one piece that incorporates the insulating cavity, and insulators are injected into this pre-formed cavity. This combining of functions reduces the number of separate components needed while providing comprehensive protection for the electrical connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
