Problem

Existing coaxial terminal connecting tools require multiple pressing components for different types and specifications, leading to increased cost and storage issues, and adjustable tools necessitate more strength and inconvenience due to length adjustments.

Innovation Solution

A coaxial terminal connecting tool with an adjustable transmitting shaft and a base capable of receiving a pressing component, featuring a guiding assembly with a sliding mechanism and threaded components to adapt to various terminal types and lengths without lengthening the handle, ensuring reduced user effort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the second connecting portion is shifted upwards by the adjusting unit to connect different types and lengths of coaxial terminal, then the adaptability of the tool is improved, but the handle length increases requiring more strength to operate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different coaxial terminal typesVSAvoidstrength required to operate the tool
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The transmitting shaft is designed as an adjustable-length component that can dynamically change its effective length based on the terminal type being connected. The shaft includes a movable section that can be positioned at different locations along the shaft body, allowing the tool to adapt to different terminal configurations without requiring the user to apply excessive force.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the physical parameter of the transmitting shaft length to resolve the contradiction. By providing a shaft with adjustable length parameters (through movable sections that can be positioned at different locations), the tool can connect various terminal types while maintaining manageable operating force levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If various pressing components are prepared for different types and specifications of coaxial terminal, then the adaptability of the tool is improved, but the cost and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability to connect different coaxial terminal typesVSAvoidnumber of pressing components required
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The pressing component is designed as a universal, multi-functional element that can accommodate different types and specifications of coaxial terminals. Instead of requiring separate pressing components for each terminal type, a single universal pressing component works with all terminal variations through the adjustable transmitting shaft mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention merges the functionality of multiple specialized pressing components into a single universal pressing component. By combining the adaptability features into the transmitting shaft rather than requiring multiple pressing components, the tool achieves versatility while reducing the quantity of parts needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the transmitting shaft length is adjusted to accommodate different terminal types, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability to different terminal specificationsVSAvoidcomplexity of the adjusting mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmitting shaft is segmented into distinct sections (fixed section and movable section) that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows for adjustable length without requiring complex continuous adjustment mechanisms, simplifying the overall device while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable section of the transmitting shaft can be dynamically positioned at different locations along the shaft body to accommodate different terminal types. This dynamic positioning capability provides adaptability while using a relatively simple mechanism compared to continuous adjustment systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The tool allows for efficient connection of different coaxial terminals with reduced user effort and cost, as the adjustable mechanism allows for various types and lengths to be accommodated without increasing handle length, thus enhancing usability and reducing operational strength requirements.
