Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a magnetically conductive substrate is used to support the coil, then magnetic field concentration is improved, but device thickness and weight increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging performanceVSAvoidmodule weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetically conductive substrate is divided into discrete magnetically conductive elements (particles, flakes, or granules) with diameters less than 0.05mm. These segmented elements are embedded in an adhesive layer, creating a distributed magnetic field concentration system that achieves the same functional effect with reduced material volume and weight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The use of discrete magnetically conductive elements creates a porous or particulate structure within the adhesive layer. This porous arrangement allows the magnetic field to be concentrated through multiple scattered pathways rather than a solid continuous substrate, reducing the overall material density while maintaining magnetic field concentration effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

2Ease of manufacture

If adhesive materials are used to fix the coil, then ease of manufacture is improved, but high-temperature resistance and structural strength deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil assemblyVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive material parameters are optimized by selecting materials with melting points between 70°C and 400°C, specifically targeting high-temperature resistance. The adhesive's mechanical properties are enhanced through parameter selection to achieve both ease of application and strong bonding strength that can withstand thermal and mechanical stresses during operation.

Inventive Principle:

3Productivity

If the coil structure is optimized for better charging performance, then charging efficiency is improved, but electromagnetic interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetically conductive elements are strategically positioned and distributed within the adhesive layer to convert potentially harmful scattered magnetic fields into beneficial concentrated flux patterns. The discrete elements act as magnetic flux guides that channel electromagnetic energy efficiently while reducing unwanted radiation and interference.

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

4Volume of moving object

If the module is miniaturized, then device compactness is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetically conductive substrate is segmented into small particles with diameters less than 0.05mm, which can be easily dispersed and distributed throughout the adhesive layer. This segmentation allows the magnetic functionality to be integrated into a thin, flexible layer that can be applied to compact coil structures without requiring high-precision alignment or assembly procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
