Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If wireless power transmission is implemented without proper alignment mechanisms, then the system structure remains simple, but power transmission efficiency deteriorates due to limitations in coupling coefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower transmission efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The guide member is pre-configured with an inclined surface that automatically guides the wireless terminal into the correct position relative to the transmission coil. This preliminary alignment action ensures optimal coupling coefficient before power transmission begins, resolving the contradiction by improving power transmission efficiency through pre-positioning without requiring complex real-time adjustment mechanisms.

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A heat sink is introduced as an intermediary thermal management component between the transmission coil and the environment. The heat sink absorbs and dissipates heat generated during wireless power transmission, reducing harmful thermal effects on the wireless terminal and supporter. This resolves the contradiction by effectively managing thermal effects through a dedicated heat dissipation structure without requiring complex active cooling systems.
