Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the tail portions of terminals are spaced apart in the height direction, then short circuit between conductive wires is prevented to a certain extent, but height change of tail portions increases manufacturing process complexity and makes terminal arrangement more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from vertical spacing (height direction) to horizontal spacing (front-rear direction) by changing the orientation of soldering tails from vertical to horizontal arrangement, thereby preventing short circuits while maintaining simplified manufacturing processes
Solution Approach 2:
The wire spacing component acts as an intermediary element that provides insulation and spacing between adjacent soldering tails, preventing short circuits without requiring complex terminal arrangements or additional manufacturing steps
2Reliability
If heat-shrinkable tubes are inserted to provide insulation protection during soldering, then insulation is ensured, but considerable time is consumed affecting assembling efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The wire spacing component provides built-in insulation protection through its insulating material structure, eliminating the need for separate heat-shrinkable tube insertion steps and thereby improving assembling efficiency while maintaining insulation reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the insulation function from the separate heat-shrinkable tube step and integrates it into the wire spacing component itself, thereby eliminating the time-consuming tube insertion process while maintaining insulation protection
