Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cavity filter connectors require a mounting slot, leading to space constraints, vibration issues due to decentralized structures, and high assembly costs, affecting communication quality.

Innovation Solution

A connector with an integrated structure comprising a housing, contact pin, insulating member, positioning pin, and transmission line, where the insulating member is fixedly configured in the housing, and the contact pin and transmission line are connected without the need for a mounting slot, using a mounting hole for fixation, reducing welding points and enhancing stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a mounting slot is provided for mounting the connector, then the connector can be installed on the cavity filter, but the space for mounting is limited and the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting operationVSAvoidconnector structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connector integrates the contact pin, insulating member, and positioning features into a single unified structure. The contact pin directly incorporates positioning holes and the insulating member is integrated within the same component, eliminating the need for separate mounting slots and reducing structural complexity while maintaining ease of installation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If the connector has a decentralized structure with multiple components, then the connector can be assembled from separate parts, but vibrations are easily generated and assembly tolerances accumulate affecting communication quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly processVSAvoidcommunication quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The contact pin is designed as an integrated component that combines the conductive element, positioning features, and insulating member into one piece. This integration eliminates assembly tolerances between multiple components and prevents vibrations that occur in decentralized structures, while still allowing for straightforward manufacturing of the unified component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Strength

If multiple welding points are used for connecting connector components, then the components can be securely connected, but the cost increases and communication quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated contact pin structure eliminates the need for multiple welding points by combining all functional elements into a single component. The positioning holes and insulating member are built-in features rather than separate parts requiring welding, thereby reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining secure mechanical connection and improving communication quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
