Solution Overview

Problem

The use of electrophoretic coating on strip stator cores leads to increased dimensions and machining errors during rolling, resulting in low qualification rates and high scrap rates, thereby increasing manufacturing costs due to size deviations and material wastage.

Innovation Solution

The strip stator core design involves partially or completely covering the tooth parts with an electrophoretic protective film while leaving the yokes uncovered, maintaining the original dimensions and preventing size deviations during rolling, thus improving the qualification rate and reducing material scrap.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electrophoretic coating is applied to the entire surface of strip stator cores including yokes, then protective coverage is improved, but dimension accuracy deteriorates due to increased external dimensions and machining errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective coverageVSAvoiddimension accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies electrophoretic coating selectively to specific regions (tooth parts) while excluding other regions (yokes), creating non-uniform local quality. This resolves the contradiction by providing protection where needed (tooth parts) while maintaining dimensional accuracy where precision is critical (yokes), thus achieving both reliability and manufacturing precision simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If electrophoretic coating is applied to strip stator cores, then surface protection is improved, but qualification rate deteriorates due to size deviations after rolling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurface protectionVSAvoidqualification rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

By applying coating only to tooth parts and excluding yokes, the patent achieves local quality differentiation that protects surfaces where needed while preventing size deviations in critical dimensions, thereby improving both surface protection and qualification rate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If electrophoretic coating is applied to strip stator cores, then protective film coverage is improved, but material waste increases due to high scrap rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective film coverageVSAvoidmaterial waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The selective coating approach applies protective film only to tooth parts where protection is needed, rather than coating the entire surface including yokes. This reduces coating material consumption and prevents defective products from consuming additional materials, thereby improving protective film coverage efficiency while reducing material waste

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

This approach effectively prevents size deviations in the rolled stator core, enhances the qualification rate, reduces material waste, and lowers manufacturing costs by maintaining the original dimensions of the yokes and ensuring precise rolling.

Implementation Method 1

electrophoretic coating processes are used for the surface coating of the iron core... immersing conductive coated materials in a certain concentration of cathodic electrophoretic coating tank as the cathode, and placing a corresponding anode in the tank. A certain amount of direct current is applied between the cathode and the anode, so that a uniform and water insoluble coating film forms on the coated materials
