A cage design featuring a partition assembly with bent support frames and elastic sheets that integrate through holes for light guide tubes, enhancing support strength, simplifying manufacturing, and reducing costs while maintaining effective shielding and heat dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If an additional light guide tube fixing module is installed in the partition assembly, then the light guide tubes can be fixed, but the shielding performance of the partition assembly deteriorates and the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The support frames are integrated directly into the partition assembly structure, merging the light guide tube support function with the existing partition framework. This eliminates the need for separate fixing modules while maintaining structural integrity and shielding performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The partition assembly is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, maintains shielding performance, and integrates light guide tube positioning through its support frames with through holes, eliminating the need for dedicated fixing components.
2Ease of manufacture
If an additional light guide tube fixing module is installed in the partition assembly, then the light guide tubes can be fixed, but the shielding performance of the partition assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support frames are merged with the partition assembly structure, ensuring that the shielding function is maintained while providing integrated light guide tube support. The through holes are strategically positioned within the support frames to minimize impact on shielding performance.
3Device complexity
If traditional partition assembly design is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot effectively support light guide tubes without additional fixing modules
Solution Approach 1:
The partition assembly is enhanced with support frames that provide multiple functions: structural support, light guide tube positioning, and shielding. This multi-functional design maintains relative structural simplicity while significantly improving light guide tube support capability.

AI summary
A cage includes a housing and a partition assembly mounted in the housing and separating an inner space of the housing into an upper space and a lower space. The partition assembly includes a first support plate and a second support plate arranged horizontally, and at least a pair of support frames disposed between the first support plate and the second support plate to separate the first support plate from the second support plate by a predetermined height. The support frames have a plurality of through holes. The support frames are formed by bending a front end of one of the first support plate and the second support plate.
