Solution Overview

Problem

Rotating electric machines with stator windings experience resonance phenomena due to high-frequency components when square-wave voltage is applied, leading to increased voltage differences and reduced insulation performance, which complicates the design in achieving both high output and compact size.

Innovation Solution

The rotating electric machine incorporates a stator winding configuration with series-connection coil groups, where unit coils are wound in a circumferential direction and connected in parallel, with specific end connections to suppress resonance and enhance insulation performance by magnetic coupling between coils within the same magnetic pole.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If a square-wave voltage is applied to the stator winding, then the voltage is amplified due to resonance phenomenon, but the insulation performance is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage amplificationVSAvoidinsulation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the stator winding into multiple independent coil groups, each with its own resonance characteristics. By segmenting the winding structure into several parallel-connected coil groups rather than using a single continuous winding, the resonance phenomenon is distributed and controlled across multiple segments, preventing excessive voltage amplification that would compromise insulation performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Power

If the stator winding is designed for high output, then the power increases, but the device size increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple coil groups in parallel connection to achieve high output power within a compact stator structure. By merging the magnetic fields and electrical outputs of multiple parallel coil groups, the system achieves high power density without proportionally increasing the overall stator volume, thus resolving the contradiction between power output and device size.
