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 increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging performanceVSAvoidmodule thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetically conductive substrate is segmented into a first magnetically conductive element and a second magnetically conductive element positioned at different locations. This segmentation allows the magnetic field to be concentrated at multiple strategic points without requiring a single thick substrate, thereby maintaining charging performance while reducing overall module thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using a uniform magnetically conductive substrate throughout, the patent applies magnetically conductive elements only at specific locations where field concentration is most beneficial. The first magnetically conductive element is positioned near the coil assembly while the second is positioned near the magnetically conductive target, creating local quality enhancements that improve charging performance without adding unnecessary thickness elsewhere.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If the coil is tightly wound to improve charging efficiency, then charging performance is improved, but mechanical strength decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging efficiencyVSAvoidcoil mechanical strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the coil assembly with the magnetically conductive substrate through adhesive bonding, creating an integrated structure. This merging allows the coil to be tightly wound for efficient charging while the substrate provides mechanical support and reinforcement, preventing the coil from deforming or breaking under stress.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

An adhesive layer serves as an intermediary between the coil assembly and the magnetically conductive substrate. This adhesive mediator enables tight winding of the coil for efficient charging while transferring mechanical strength from the substrate to the coil, resolving the conflict between charging efficiency and mechanical strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If the magnetically conductive element is positioned close to the coil, then electromagnetic field concentration is improved, but electromagnetic interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic wave distributionVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetically conductive elements are segmented into multiple discrete positions rather than forming a continuous structure close to the coil. The first magnetically conductive element is positioned near the coil while the second is positioned near the target, creating controlled gaps that concentrate the electromagnetic field where needed while reducing continuous electromagnetic interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
