The domestic vacuum cleaner motor industry has completed a leap from component outsourcing to technological independence. The complete supply chain of magnetic materials, precision machining, and drive chips provides a soil for technological iteration. Domestic high-speed motors are supplied in large quantities to domestic whole machine brands, and are also exported in bulk to the global market.
But there are still multiple challenges on the track. There are still shortcomings in some aspects of high-end magnetic materials, special insulation materials, and high-precision chips; Long term reliability and consistency at ultra-high speeds are difficult to mass produce; Some enterprises are still stuck in parameter following trends, with insufficient accumulation of original technology at the bottom level, and a focus on quantity over quality in patents, which can easily lead to patent avoidance and invalidation. The patent wall in overseas markets is also a practical threshold that domestic enterprises must face when going global.
The competition in the future will not stay at a higher speed of digital competition. The motor industry will evolve towards high efficiency, energy saving, small and lightweight, lower noise, high reliability, and integrated software and hardware. Electric motor companies need to connect the entire chain of materials, manufacturing, algorithms, and patents. They need to achieve breakthroughs in product performance, as well as make forward-looking patent layouts, protect technological achievements with patents, and avoid intellectual property risks.
