Anti-theft Bracket for Parking Actuator Harness Connector
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The risk of theft arises when the connector of a harness between the parking driver and actuator is detached and connected to a different BCM, allowing unauthorized access and operation of the vehicle's parking mechanism.
Innovation Solution
An anti-theft bracket is designed to cover the connector, making it difficult to detach by incorporating a connector detachment restricting part that prevents the male connector from being removed from the female connector, thereby increasing the time required for theft and enhancing security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the connector is made easily detachable, then the ease of operation is improved, but the anti-theft capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-theft bracket is installed beforehand to cover the connector, preventing unauthorized detachment. The bracket includes a covering portion that physically blocks access to the connector, requiring deliberate action to remove the bracket first before the connector can be detached.
2Reliability
If the connector is made difficult to detach, then the anti-theft capability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into two functional parts: the anti-theft bracket that provides security by covering the connector, and the connector itself that maintains electrical connectivity. The bracket can be removed separately from the connector, allowing security to be disabled while preserving connector functionality.
3Reliability
If the anti-theft bracket is added to cover the connector, then the anti-theft capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-theft bracket is designed to cover only the specific area where the connector is located, rather than enclosing the entire parking actuator assembly. This localized approach provides security where needed while minimizing the overall structural complexity and material requirements.
