Solution Overview
Problem
Existing combined cables with single adhesive tape on upper and lower surfaces are prone to detachment, environmental exposure, and rigidity issues, leading to high costs and bending difficulties.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If one piece of adhesive tape is adhered to the upper and lower side surfaces of a row of cable groups, then the cost is reduced and bending is easier, but the adhesive tape becomes loose and the hot melt glue is exposed to air causing aging failure
Solution Approach 1:
The single adhesive tape is segmented into multiple adhesive tapes, with each tape adhered to specific cable groups rather than one tape covering all cables. This segmentation prevents the adhesive tape from becoming loose while reducing the amount of adhesive material needed, thereby lowering cost and improving reliability simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive tapes are arranged in a distributed pattern across different positions and layers of the cable assembly rather than using a single continuous tape. This dimensional redistribution ensures adequate adhesion coverage while preventing tape loosening and reducing material exposure to environmental factors
2Stability of the object's composition
If adhesive tape is adhered to secure cable groups, then the cable groups are connected and secured together, but the hot melt glue is exposed to air and easily affected by environment causing aging failure
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive connection is segmented into multiple discrete adhesive tapes applied to different cable groups. This segmentation reduces the total surface area of exposed hot melt glue, minimizing environmental exposure and aging while maintaining adequate connection stability between cable groups
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive layer serves as an intermediary between the adhesive tape and cable groups, providing protected bonding. The adhesive layer shields the hot melt glue from direct environmental exposure while maintaining the connection function
3Reliability
If multiple adhesive tapes are used to wrap cable groups, then structural stability is improved and adhesion agent exposure is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive system is segmented into multiple discrete tapes applied to specific cable groups rather than a single complex continuous structure. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure while improving stability and preventing adhesion agent exposure
Solution Approach 2:
Different adhesive tapes are applied to different locations and cable groups based on specific adhesion needs. This localized approach provides optimal structural stability where required while minimizing overall complexity and material usage
