Innovation Solution

A wireless charging board configuration that includes a magnetic pattern disposed in the central part of the coil pattern, with a thickness equal to or less than the coil pattern, and a shielding layer with a relative permeability of 10 to 1000, formed from Fe-based materials, to enhance charging efficiency and reduce the overall thickness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the thickness of the shielding material is increased to generate a predetermined voltage difference, then the voltage difference detection reliability is improved, but the device thickness increases and material costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by placing a magnetic pattern specifically in the central region of the coil pattern rather than uniformly distributing magnetic material throughout. This localized approach concentrates magnetic flux where it is most needed for voltage difference generation, achieving reliable detection with minimal shielding material thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining the magnetic pattern (with high relative permeability of 10-100000) with the shielding layer (with lower relative permeability of 10-1000). This composite structure leverages the high permeability of the magnetic pattern to concentrate magnetic flux and generate sufficient voltage difference while keeping the shielding layer thin.
