Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for attaching antenna modules in notebook computers result in connection cables being twisted or vibrated, leading to positional shifts that degrade antenna properties during use or external impacts.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating guide grooves on the housing to securely accommodate and regulate the position of connection cables, preventing changes due to twisting or vibration forces, and using metal materials for enhanced noise shielding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional methods (pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or hook-shaped adhesive members) are used to attach the connection cable, then the cable can be connected from one end portion to the hinge portion, but the cable may be twisted or vibrated causing positional shifts that degrade antenna properties
Solution Approach 1:
A guide groove structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the connection cable and the housing. This guide groove accommodates the connection cable and regulates its arrangement position, preventing the cable from being twisted or vibrated while maintaining ease of connection. The guide groove acts as a mediator that protects the cable's positional stability without complicating the connection process.
2Ease of manufacture
If the connection cable is attached using discrete attachment points, then the cable can be connected, but the arrangement position of the cable shifts during rotation or impact, degrading signal transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The guide groove is divided into multiple segments: a first guide groove extending from the end portion to an intermediate position, and a second guide groove extending from the intermediate position to the hinge portion. This segmentation allows the cable to be regulated at multiple discrete points along its length, maintaining stability without requiring continuous complex structures, thus balancing ease of manufacture with positional stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove structure adds a spatial dimension constraint to the cable arrangement. By creating a grooved structure that physically confines the cable within a specific three-dimensional path, the system transforms the cable's positional freedom into a controlled trajectory, preventing shifts in any direction while maintaining simple attachment methods.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the antenna module is placed in the end portion of the cover section housing, then it is positioned far from electronic circuits in the main section, but the connection cable must span the entire length of the housing increasing vulnerability to twisting and vibration
Solution Approach 1:
The guide groove serves as an intermediary structure that manages the long-distance cable routing between the antenna module in the cover section and the main section. By providing a regulated path through the housing, the guide groove reduces the cable's vulnerability to twisting and vibration over the extended distance, maintaining simple overall device structure while protecting signal integrity.
