Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the magnetic core dimensions are increased to improve magnetic coupling coefficient and induced voltage, then the power charging efficiency is improved, but the device size increases and miniaturization becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower charging efficiencyVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing a magnetic element with high magnetic permeability at the specific location between the magnetic core and coil. This localized enhancement of magnetic properties improves the magnetic coupling coefficient and induced voltage without requiring an overall increase in magnetic core dimensions, thus maintaining compact device size while improving power charging efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the magnetic permeability parameter by introducing a magnetic element with higher magnetic permeability than the conventional magnetic core material. This parameter change enhances the magnetic field strength and coupling efficiency, allowing for improved power transfer without increasing the physical dimensions of the magnetic core, thereby resolving the contradiction between efficiency and size.

2Volume of moving object

If the magnetic core dimensions are reduced for miniaturization, then the device size is decreased, but the magnetic coupling coefficient and induced voltage decrease

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent compensates for the reduced magnetic core dimensions by introducing a magnetic element with high magnetic permeability in the gap between the magnetic core and coil. This localized magnetic enhancement maintains the magnetic coupling coefficient and induced voltage at acceptable levels even when the overall device size is reduced, enabling miniaturization without sacrificing coupling efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite magnetic structure by combining the magnetic core with a magnetic element (such as ferrite, ferrite alloy, amorphous alloy, or nanocrystalline alloy) that has superior magnetic properties. This composite approach allows the system to achieve high magnetic coupling in a compact form factor, resolving the contradiction between miniaturization and maintaining adequate coupling coefficient.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If a magnetic element is added between magnetic core and coil to enhance magnetic coupling, then the induced voltage and charging efficiency are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinduced voltageVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a magnetic element as an intermediary component between the magnetic core and the coil. This intermediary enhances the magnetic coupling and induced voltage by providing a high permeability path for magnetic flux. While it adds a component, the magnetic element serves a specific functional purpose that justifies the added complexity by significantly improving power transfer efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the magnetic permeability parameter in the gap between core and coil by introducing the magnetic element. This parameter change directly improves the magnetic coupling and induced voltage. The added complexity is offset by the significant improvement in electrical performance, making the enhanced induced voltage achievable only through this parameter modification.

Inventive Principle:
