Solution Overview

Problem

The existing wireless charging systems using permanent magnets suffer from reduced performance and transmission efficiency due to magnetization of the magnetic field shielding sheets by time-invariant magnetic fields, which can lead to deteriorated antenna performance and failure in normal operation.

Innovation Solution

A shielding unit for wireless power transfer modules is introduced, featuring a magnetic field shielding sheet with a magnetic body receiving portion that minimizes contact between the magnetic body and the shielding sheet, allowing the magnetic field to be induced and directed externally, thereby reducing magnetization and enhancing charging efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the magnetic body is attached to the magnetic field shielding sheet, then alignment of the wireless power transmission module and reception module is achieved, but the area A adjacent to the magnetic body becomes magnetized, lowering transmission efficiency

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the shielding structure into multiple sheets with the magnetic body positioned between them, the patent creates distinct magnetic zones that maintain alignment capability while preventing the formation of a large magnetized area that would reduce transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic body is strategically positioned between two shielding sheets rather than attached to one, creating a localized magnetic field configuration that maintains alignment function while minimizing the extent of magnetization in any single area, thereby preserving transmission efficiency.
