Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for superconducting wires with connection portions to be efficiently arranged in a limited space.
Innovation Solution
A superconducting coil device is designed with a bobbin, bobbin-side guide portion, first guide portion, and second guide portion to efficiently arrange superconducting wires, including a connection portion, by extending in directions intersecting the bobbin axial direction, allowing for high space efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If connection portions are arranged away from wound portions, then reliability of superconducting wires is improved, but space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensional change by arranging connection portions in the axial direction of the bobbin rather than only in the radial direction. The guide portions extend in the bobbin axial direction, allowing connection portions to be positioned away from wound portions radially while utilizing axial space for arrangement, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and space utilization
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the arrangement space by dividing it into different functional zones: wound portions are arranged in the radial direction while connection portions are arranged in the axial direction through guide portions. This segmentation allows each type of component to be optimally positioned in its designated spatial zone, maintaining reliability while improving overall space utilization
2Ease of operation
If multiple guide portions are provided to hold superconducting wires, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide portions serve multiple functions: they guide superconducting wires during assembly, hold connection portions in position, and extend in the axial direction to facilitate arrangement. This multi-functionality improves ease of operation while avoiding the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thus limiting the increase in device complexity
