Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless charging shield sheets require multiple layers to prevent magnetic flux leakage, leading to increased size and reduced charging efficiency due to high magnetic loss and eddy current issues.

Innovation Solution

A shield sheet comprising a collar magnetic sheet with high magnetic permeability and a center magnetic sheet with fragmented layers, where the collar sheet is perpendicular to eddy currents and the center sheet suppresses long free-path eddy currents, allowing for a compact design and enhanced charging efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple layers of magnetic sheets are stacked to prevent magnetic flux leakage, then shielding performance is improved, but device size and thickness increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding performanceVSAvoidthickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic sheet is divided into two distinct functional regions: a collar magnetic sheet with high magnetic permeability for shielding, and a center magnetic sheet with fragmented structure for loss reduction. This segmentation allows each region to optimize its specific function without requiring multiple stacked layers, thereby reducing overall thickness while maintaining shielding performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the magnetic sheet are given different local properties: the collar region uses intact high-permeability material for maximum shielding, while the center region uses fragmented material to suppress eddy currents. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction by optimizing each area for its specific purpose rather than using a uniform structure throughout.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If magnetic material is used to distribute magnetic field and prevent energy loss, then shielding performance is improved, but eddy current loss increases causing heat generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding performanceVSAvoideddy current loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The center magnetic sheet is segmented into fragmented strips that are stacked with insulating adhesive layers. This segmentation breaks the continuous conductive path, preventing long free-path eddy currents while maintaining the magnetic shielding effect through the stacked structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An insulating adhesive layer is introduced as an intermediary between the fragmented magnetic strips. This adhesive layer blocks the formation of continuous eddy current paths while allowing the magnetic field to pass through, thereby reducing eddy current loss without compromising shielding performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If magnetic permeability is increased to improve shielding, then shielding performance is improved, but magnetic loss increases reducing charging efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding performanceVSAvoidcharging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The collar magnetic sheet uses high magnetic permeability material for optimal shielding performance, while the center magnetic sheet uses fragmented material with controlled permeability to minimize losses. This local quality differentiation allows the system to achieve high shielding where needed while minimizing energy loss in regions where eddy currents would otherwise form.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A shield sheet comprises a collar magnetic sheet and a center magnetic sheet. The collar magnetic sheet is provided with a hole adapted to the center magnetic sheet. The center magnetic sheet has one end fixed in the hole and the other end protruding out of the collar magnetic sheet. The collar magnetic sheet comprises at least one first magnetic permeable layer, which is a nanocrystal strip, an amorphous strip or a metallic soft magnetic strip. The center magnetic sheet comprises at least two second magnetic permeable layers stacked one on another, which are fragmented nanocrystal strips, fragmented amorphous strips or fragmented metallic soft magnetic strips. Fewer nanocrystal strips are stacked for the collar magnetic sheet in the shield sheet of the invention, facilitating the miniaturization of the shield sheet and increasing charging efficiency.
