Baseboard Extension Module Connector Eliminating Lead Lines
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional structures for connecting baseboards with extension modules are complex, requiring lead lines that complicate the connection process and lead to faulty wiring, especially when changing specifications.
Innovation Solution
A baseboard and extension module connection system where the baseboard has first connectors with ground, source, and signal terminals arranged at a constant pitch, and the extension module has corresponding second connectors that connect directly to these, eliminating the need for lead lines and simplifying the connection process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If lead lines are used to connect baseboard and extension module, then electrical connection can be achieved, but connection complexity increases and faulty wiring occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes lead lines from the connection system between baseboard and extension module. The terminal holes on the baseboard directly provide electrical connection points that mate with terminal pins on the extension module, eliminating the intermediate lead lines that caused complexity and wiring errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the functions of mechanical support and electrical connection into a single integrated structure. The terminal holes serve both as mechanical mounting points and as electrical connection points, eliminating the need for separate lead lines to provide electrical connectivity.
2Ease of operation
If lead lines are used for connection, then electrical connectivity is established, but connection and disconnection operations become complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts lead lines from the connection system, allowing extension modules to be directly plugged into terminal holes on the baseboard. This enables quick connection and disconnection operations without the time-consuming process of connecting and disconnecting lead lines.
3Reliability
If conventional connection method is used, then extension modules can be connected, but faulty wiring occurs during specification changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal connection interface where terminal holes on the baseboard can directly receive terminal pins from various extension modules. This standardized interface ensures correct wiring regardless of which extension module is installed, eliminating wiring errors during specification changes.
