Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic circuit holders, such as breadboards, face difficulties in maintaining stability during wiring operations, as electronic circuits can be easily moved or disconnected, leading to complex wiring routing and complications when multiple circuits are connected.
Innovation Solution
An electronic circuit holder with a fixing plate and side wall plates featuring lock protrusions and penetrating holes allows for adjustable positioning and secure fixation of electronic circuits, enabling stable wiring operations and simplifying the routing of connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If electronic circuits are connected to breadboard using lines, then electronic device can be experimentally produced, but electronic circuit may be moved by pulling the lines making wiring operation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separate functional modules: fixing plate for securing circuits, side wall plates for structural support, and seat for overall positioning. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, with the fixing plate specifically addressing the stability issue while maintaining ease of wiring operations.
Solution Approach 2:
Electronic circuits are pre-fixed to the fixing plate before being mounted on the seat. This preliminary fixation action ensures that circuits are securely positioned and cannot be moved during wiring operations, while still allowing for easy connection of lines to terminal boards.
2Adaptability or versatility
If breadboard is moved to connect second electronic circuit, then multiple circuits can be connected, but lines of first electronic circuit may be pulled out making wiring operation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the circuit fixation function (fixing plate) from the overall positioning function (seat). This allows the fixing plate to remain stationary and secure during wiring operations, while the seat can be moved to accommodate multiple circuit connections, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing plate acts as an intermediary between the electronic circuit and the seat. It provides a stable interface that secures the circuit while allowing the seat to be repositioned for connecting multiple circuits, thereby maintaining wiring connection stability during adaptability operations.
3Ease of operation
If electronic circuits are arranged on breadboard, then wiring can be performed, but wiring routing becomes complicated unless each circuit is arranged at appropriate position
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic positioning capability through the adjustable seat and fixing plate mechanism. Circuits can be positioned at appropriate locations on the fixing plate and seat, allowing for optimized wiring routing. This dynamic arrangement capability simplifies wiring operations while reducing routing complexity compared to fixed breadboard configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces vertical dimension with the fixing plate positioned above the seat, creating a three-dimensional arrangement space. This dimensional change allows circuits to be arranged at appropriate heights and positions, facilitating simpler wiring routing and easier access during wiring operations compared to traditional two-dimensional breadboard surfaces.

AI summary
An electronic circuit holder includes a fixing plate, a pair of side wall plates between which the fixing plate is interposed, and a seat having seat-side lock penetrating holes arranged at a predetermined interval. The fixing plate has a fixing portion for fixing an electronic circuit on the fixing plate, and lock protrusions on opposed sides of the fixing plate. Each side wall plate has lock penetrating holes. The lock protrusions of the fixing plate are engaged with the lock penetrating holes to hold the fixing plate at a predetermined height. A first of the pair of side wall plates has, on a side thereof, a first wall-side lock protrusion, and a second of the pair of side wall plates has, on a side thereof, a second wall-side lock protrusion. The first and second wall-side lock protrusions are engaged with two of the seat-side lock penetrating holes.
