Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If high output and high frequency power is transmitted through the transmitting coil, then wireless power transmission capability is improved, but electromagnetic wave emission and interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless power transmission capabilityVSAvoidelectromagnetic wave emission
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies electromagnetic shielding filters that convert harmful electromagnetic waves into beneficial effects by absorbing or reflecting the waves in controlled directions. The shielding filters transform the harmful EMI and harmonic signals into manageable electromagnetic fields that can be directed away from sensitive devices, thus converting the harmful radiation into a controlled electromagnetic environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The electromagnetic shielding filters serve as intermediary elements positioned between the transmitting coil and surrounding devices. These filters act as mediators that intercept electromagnetic waves before they reach sensitive equipment, absorbing or redirecting the harmful radiation while allowing the wireless power transmission function to continue operating at high power levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If electromagnetic wave intensity is reduced through shielding filters, then interference with surrounding devices is minimized, but charging efficiency may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic interferenceVSAvoidcharging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements electromagnetic shielding filters at specific locations around the transmitting coil where electromagnetic interference is most problematic. Rather than applying uniform shielding throughout the entire system, the filters are strategically positioned in areas where EMI affects surrounding devices, thus locally reducing interference while maintaining charging efficiency in the primary transmission zone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies electromagnetic shielding filters selectively to specific regions where interference is problematic, rather than implementing complete shielding around the entire transmitting coil. This partial action approach reduces EMI in critical areas while avoiding excessive shielding that would impede the wireless power transmission and reduce charging efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
