1Power

If the existing electromagnetic exciter design is used, then the structure is simple, but the magnetic field utilization rate is low and the driving force is small

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving forceVSAvoidmagnetic field utilization rate
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic circuit assembly is segmented into multiple magnets (first magnet, second magnet, third magnet, fourth magnet) arranged in a specific configuration. This segmentation allows each magnet to contribute to the magnetic field in a controlled manner, improving overall magnetic field utilization and generating stronger driving force on the coils.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The magnets are arranged in a two-dimensional configuration with specific orientations (first and second directions perpendicular to each other). This dimensional arrangement creates a more complex three-dimensional magnetic field distribution that passes more effectively through the coils, thereby improving magnetic field utilization rate and driving force.

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

2Loss of energy

If the magnetic circuit assembly with multiple magnets is used, then the magnetic field utilization rate is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple magnets are merged into a single magnetic circuit assembly that functions as one integrated unit. The magnets are positioned and oriented to work together, creating a unified magnetic field that passes through the coils. This merging approach improves magnetic field utilization while keeping the overall structure manageable as a single assembly rather than separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Force

If the coil arrangement on two sides of the magnetic circuit assembly is used, then the driving force is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The coils are arranged asymmetrically on two sides of the magnetic circuit assembly, with each coil positioned to interact with the magnetic field from multiple magnets. This asymmetric arrangement optimizes the interaction between the magnetic field and the coils, generating enhanced driving force while the symmetry of having two coils on opposite sides maintains a degree of structural balance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
