1Device complexity

If the conduction terminal is contacted with the stator core only by utilizing elasticity, then the structure is simple, but contact failure occurs due to vibration and insufficient contact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidcontact reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The conduction terminal is divided into multiple functional parts: an elastic contact portion for initial contact, a reinforcement portion for structural support, and a fixation portion for secure attachment. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and reliable contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The conduction terminal combines materials with different properties: the elastic contact portion uses material with high elasticity for reliable contact under vibration, while the fixation portion uses material suitable for welding or mechanical fastening. This composite approach ensures both structural simplicity and contact reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If the conduction terminal is designed with complex fixation structures, then contact reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conduction terminal merges multiple functions into a single integrated component: the elastic contact function, the structural reinforcement function, and the fixation function are all combined in one piece. This reduces the number of separate parts and assembly steps while ensuring reliable contact, thus improving reliability without significantly increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The conduction terminal incorporates a dynamic elastic contact portion that can deform and adapt to vibrations during motor operation. This dynamic capability ensures continuous reliable contact without requiring complex active control mechanisms or multiple adjustment components, maintaining structural simplicity while improving contact reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
