Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical connectors face issues with liquid conductor leakage, leading to unstable electrical connections, increased assembly complexity, and material wastage due to the need for complete filling of the receiving space, which results in short circuits and higher costs.
Innovation Solution
A conductive assembly featuring a hollowed-out first conductor with a receiving cavity for storing the liquid conductor, a second conductor with a guiding connection part, and a compressive elastic member, along with a stopper to prevent leakage and reduce abrasion, allowing for stable electrical connections without full cavity filling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the close receiving space is completely filled with liquid conductor to ensure good electrical connection, then the electrical connection quality is improved, but the material cost increases and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving space is divided into a liquid conductor storage cavity and a compression cavity. The liquid conductor is stored in the storage cavity and does not need to fill the entire receiving space, simplifying assembly while ensuring electrical connection through the compression cavity mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
A compression element is introduced as an intermediary component between the liquid conductor and the external force. This element compresses the liquid conductor to ensure good electrical connection without requiring the receiving space to be completely filled, reducing both material usage and assembly complexity
2Reliability
If the liquid conductor is stored in the close receiving space formed by insulating bodies, then electrical connection is achieved, but the liquid conductor easily leaks out during assembly and operation
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving space is segmented into a storage cavity for the liquid conductor and a compression cavity for the compression element. This segmentation allows the liquid conductor to be contained securely while enabling easy assembly through the separate compression mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid conductor is pre-stored in the storage cavity before assembly. The compression element is then installed and compressed to seal and secure the liquid conductor in place, preventing leakage during assembly and operation
3Reliability
If the receiving space is almost completely filled with liquid conductor to ensure stable electrical connection, then the electrical connection stability is improved, but material waste increases and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of completely filling the receiving space with liquid conductor, the invention uses partial filling in the storage cavity combined with compression in the compression cavity. This partial action approach ensures stable electrical connection while significantly reducing liquid conductor usage and waste
