Solution Overview
Problem
High-frequency signals and noise from electronic devices can interfere with each other when multiple devices are connected, causing coexistence issues and potential performance degradation.
Innovation Solution
An angled connector with radio frequency isolation capabilities is used to connect devices, along with a fastening mechanism to secure the connector, ensuring physical separation and minimizing interference by orienting the devices to reduce electromagnetic field overlap and using a robust connector design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If devices are connected through a standard connector, then signal transmission is achieved, but radio frequency interference occurs between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an angled connector that changes the spatial orientation of the connection from a standard straight alignment to an angled configuration. This dimensional change in the connector's geometry creates physical separation between devices while maintaining signal transmission capability, thereby reducing radio frequency interference between connected devices
2Volume of moving object
If devices are placed close together, then space efficiency is improved, but electromagnetic field overlap causes interference
Solution Approach 1:
The angled connector utilizes angular orientation to create effective spatial separation between devices in the horizontal plane, allowing devices to be positioned closer together while maintaining electromagnetic field isolation through the angled connection path
3Reliability
If a fastening device is added to secure the connector, then physical security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device is integrated with the angled connector as a unified assembly, combining the connection function and security function into a single component system. This merging reduces the overall complexity compared to having separate connector and fastening components
