Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If traditional connection methods are used between coil terminals and power supply, then connection reliability may be maintained, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection structure complexityVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the connection function into the stator core structure itself by creating through-holes that directly receive coil terminals and power supply connections. This integration eliminates separate connection components and reduces overall device complexity while maintaining reliable electrical connections through the structured through-hole design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The stator core is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating through-holes that simultaneously serve as structural elements and electrical connection pathways. These through-holes accommodate both coil terminals and power supply connections, allowing a single component to fulfill multiple functions and reduce the number of separate parts needed.

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

2Reliability

If complex connection structures are used, then connection reliability may be improved, but manufacturing cost and economic efficiency worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the connection function into the stator core through integrated through-holes, the patent reduces the number of separate components that need to be manufactured and assembled. This merging approach simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces overall production costs while maintaining reliable connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The through-holes in the stator core are segmented into specific positions and configurations that accommodate different coil terminals and power supply connections. This segmentation allows for standardized manufacturing of the stator core with pre-defined connection points, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If simplified connection methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but connection reliability may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection structure complexityVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The stator core is pre-configured with through-holes during manufacturing that are specifically designed to accommodate coil terminals and power supply connections. This preliminary action ensures that the connection pathways are established before final assembly, improving reliability while maintaining simplicity in the final device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The through-holes in the stator core act as intermediaries that facilitate reliable electrical connections between coil terminals and the power supply. These structured pathways provide a controlled and reliable connection medium that maintains electrical integrity while keeping the overall device structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
