Solution Overview

Problem

Existing stator designs face challenges in achieving stable connections between lead-out wires and terminals due to press-fitting methods, leading to potential loosening and unsatisfactory contact.

Innovation Solution

A stator assembly design featuring an insulating frame, wire outlet base, cover plate, and terminals with bent portions and holder seats to secure lead-out wires, allowing for stable welding and reduced misalignment, along with a cover plate to protect and facilitate automated production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If press-fitting method is used to fix lead-out wire in wiring slot, then installation is facilitated, but connection stability deteriorates and loosening occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation facilitationVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a terminal as an intermediary component between the lead-out wire and the wiring slot. The terminal includes a pressing piece that press-fits the lead-out wire, a welding piece for stable electrical connection, and a wire guiding piece that guides the wire into position. This intermediary structure separates the mechanical fixation function from the electrical connection function, allowing press-fitting to be used for installation ease while maintaining connection stability through additional welding and guiding mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Volume of moving object

If high miniaturization requirements are imposed on stator, then slot fill rate is improved, but lead-out wire leading becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestator miniaturizationVSAvoidlead-out wire leading
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the wire outlet base outward from the stator core in a direction away from the stator, creating additional spatial dimension for wire leading. This external wire outlet base provides a dedicated area for terminal installation and wire routing that does not consume space within the stator's miniaturized structure, thereby resolving the conflict between compact stator design and wire leading requirements.

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

3Reliability

If welding connection is used for lead-out wire and terminal, then connection stability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions into the terminal component: the pressing piece for mechanical fixation, the welding piece for electrical connection, and the wire guiding piece for wire positioning. By merging these functions into a single integrated terminal, the design achieves stable welding connections without proportionally increasing overall manufacturing complexity, as the terminal is installed as one component rather than multiple separate parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
