Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If adhesive is used to bond coils to suppress displacement, then position stability is improved, but assembly convenience deteriorates and correction becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil position stabilityVSAvoidassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the chemical bonding mechanism (adhesive) with a mechanical positioning system consisting of positioning protrusions and positioning grooves. This allows coils to be precisely positioned and fixed through geometric interlocking rather than chemical adhesion, enabling easy assembly, disassembly, and correction without the limitations of bonded joints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Length of stationary object

If protective film is made thin to reduce thickness, then compactness is improved, but strength and impact resistance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective film thicknessVSAvoidprotective film strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite protective film structure consisting of multiple layers with different functions: a base film layer providing mechanical strength and tear resistance, and a fluororesin coating layer providing low-friction and protective properties. This composite structure achieves both thin overall thickness and high strength by combining materials with complementary properties rather than relying on a single thick material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Manufacturing precision

If three planar coils are precisely arranged according to certification standard, then wireless charging performance is improved, but assembly complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoil alignment precisionVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates positioning protrusions and positioning grooves directly into the supporting plate structure during manufacturing, establishing predetermined accurate positions for the three planar coils before assembly. This preliminary positioning system ensures that when coils are installed, they automatically align with the required precision for wireless charging certification without requiring complex adjustment procedures during assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
