Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large liquid-cooled outdoor cabinets face safety risks due to open wires, which can cause fires and affect aesthetic appearance.
Innovation Solution
A cabinet assembly with concealed wiring spaces for fire-fighting and communication cables, including first, second, and third wiring spaces, and partition plates to isolate and secure cables, reducing the need for additional conduits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If open wires are used for wiring in liquid-cooled outdoor cabinets, then wiring is simple and easy to implement, but safety deteriorates due to fire risks and appearance deteriorates due to messy appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wiring assembly as an intermediary component that contains open wires within a protective structure. The wiring assembly includes a housing that encloses the wires, preventing direct exposure while maintaining wiring simplicity. This mediator structure eliminates fire risks by protecting wire surfaces without complicating the wiring process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nesting by placing the open wires inside the wiring assembly housing, creating a nested structure where the protective housing contains the vulnerable wires. This allows the simple open wiring to be concealed within a protective outer structure, simultaneously achieving safety and aesthetic appearance while maintaining wiring simplicity.
2Ease of manufacture
If open wires are used for wiring in liquid-cooled outdoor cabinets, then wiring is simple and easy to implement, but appearance deteriorates due to messy appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring assembly serves as an intermediary that conceals the open wires within a structured housing. This mediator provides a neat, organized appearance by enclosing the wires, while the housing itself can be designed to match the aesthetic requirements of the liquid-cooled outdoor cabinet.
Solution Approach 2:
By nesting the open wires inside the wiring assembly housing, the patent creates a hierarchical structure where the outer housing provides the aesthetic appearance and the inner wires provide the electrical function. This nested arrangement hides the messy wires while maintaining wiring simplicity.
