Solution Overview

Problem

Wiring members for rotating electrical machines are prone to damage due to vibration, as the holding portions are not fixed to surrounding members, leading to potential damage from wobbling or collisions with the stator core.

Innovation Solution

A wiring member with a holding portion that is adhered and fixed to a stator core using an adhesive, which also fixes the coil pieces to the core, providing stability and preventing damage from vibrations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the holding portion is not fixed to surrounding members, then the wiring member is easy to assemble, but the connected portions are damaged by wobbling movement or repeated collision with stator core due to vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of assemblyVSAvoiddamage resistance to vibration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an adhesive as an intermediary substance to bond the holding portion to the stator core. This mediator enables reliable fixation without complex mechanical fastening structures, maintaining ease of assembly while preventing vibration-induced damage. The adhesive fills micro-gaps and creates a durable bond that resists wobbling movement and collision forces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces potential mechanical fixation methods (such as clips, screws, or snap-fits) with chemical bonding using adhesive. This substitution eliminates the need for complex mechanical assembly structures while providing superior vibration resistance. The adhesive bond prevents both wobbling movement and repeated collision damage that would occur with unfixed holding portions.

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

2Reliability

If the holding portion is fixed using mechanical fastening, then the reliability against vibration is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedamage resistance to vibrationVSAvoidfixing structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical fastening systems with chemical bonding using adhesive. This eliminates the need for screws, clips, or other mechanical fixation components, thereby reducing device complexity while achieving reliable vibration resistance. The adhesive application process is simpler than mechanical assembly and requires no additional fastening parts.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the fixation function with the adhesive material itself, combining the bonding and fixing functions into a single substance. This eliminates the need for separate fixation components and simplifies the overall structure. The adhesive simultaneously provides both structural support and vibration damping, reducing the number of parts required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the holding portion is fixed using adhesive, then the damage due to vibration is suppressed, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedamage resistance to vibrationVSAvoidmanufacturing process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive serves as a mediator that can be applied in a simple coating or injection process. Rather than requiring complex multi-step assembly procedures, the adhesive can be applied directly to the holding portion or stator core surface, then cured to create a strong bond. This intermediary substance enables reliable fixation with minimal process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive provides self-aligning and self-fixing properties that eliminate the need for precise mechanical alignment or complex positioning fixtures during assembly. The adhesive flows to fill gaps and bonds surfaces automatically, reducing the skill level and equipment required for manufacturing while ensuring reliable vibration resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
