Solution Overview
Problem
Existing coaxial cable clamping solutions require a time-consuming process to ground multiple coaxial cables individually.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cable clamp clamps one coaxial cable at a time, then the grounding connection is reliable, but the grounding process becomes time-consuming when multiple coaxial cables need to be grounded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple clamping functions and grounding functions into a single integrated clamping member. The clamping member includes multiple clamping portions that can simultaneously clamp multiple coaxial cables, and a common grounding portion that electrically connects all clamped cables to ground through a single operation, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliable grounding connection and grounding process efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping member is designed with multi-functionality to perform both clamping and grounding operations. The structure includes clamping portions for securing cables and a grounding portion with blades that penetrate insulation to contact outer conductors, allowing a single component to achieve both mechanical fixation and electrical grounding for multiple cables simultaneously
2Reliability
If individual clamping operations are performed for each coaxial cable, then each cable is securely grounded, but the overall grounding time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual grounding operations into a single simultaneous operation. The clamping member is designed with multiple clamping portions and a common grounding portion that can clamp and ground multiple coaxial cables at the same time, reducing total grounding time while maintaining secure individual cable grounding through the reliable electrical connection provided by the grounding blades

AI summary
A coaxial cable clamping member includes a clamping main body that is capable of clamping a coaxial cable and a pressure contact blade that is fixed to the clamping main body and is capable of being connected to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. Further, the coaxial cable clamping member includes a grounding portion that is fixed to the clamping main body under a state in which grounding portion is electrically coupled to the pressure contact blade and is capable of grounding the outer conductor of the coaxial cable to a grounded portion. The clamping main body is configured to clamp a plurality of coaxial cables. Under a state in which the clamping main body clamps the plurality of coaxial cables, the outer conductors of all the plurality of coaxial cables clamped by the clamping main body are electrically connected to the grounding portion via the pressure contact blade.
