Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cable wall lead-through systems require significant installation effort and do not provide a secure and sealed passage for multiple cables effectively.

Innovation Solution

A cable wall lead-through arrangement with a receptacle frame integrally formed on the wall portion, sealing elements, and a cover component, which reduces installation effort and ensures a secure, sealed passage for multiple cables.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional cable wall lead-through systems are used, then cable passage is achieved, but installation effort is significant and sealing reliability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation effort
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the receptacle frame, sealing elements, and cover component into an integrated cable wall lead-through assembly. The receptacle frame is integrally formed on the wall portion, and the cover component is installed to secure the sealing elements in place, creating a unified structure that simultaneously provides mechanical support and sealing functionality, thereby reducing installation effort while enhancing sealing reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The receptacle frame is pre-formed on the wall portion before cable installation. The sealing elements are pre-positioned within the receptacle frame, and the cover component is designed to be installed in a securing manner to fix the sealing elements. This preliminary preparation of the sealing structure eliminates the need for complex on-site assembly, reducing installation effort while ensuring proper sealing from the outset

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple cables are led through the wall opening, then cable connectivity is achieved, but positioning accuracy and sealing effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cable wall lead-through structure is segmented into distinct functional components: the receptacle frame that provides structural support and cable guidance, the sealing elements that provide individual sealed passages for each cable, and the cover component that secures the assembly. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function, ensuring precise cable positioning and effective sealing while maintaining manageable structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing elements are individually positioned within the receptacle frame to provide localized sealed passages for each cable. Each sealing element can be tailored to the specific cable it seals, ensuring optimal sealing effectiveness and positioning accuracy for multiple cables of different sizes and types without requiring a completely different structure for each cable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
