Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conductive patterns on substrates in electronic devices have fixed contact points that cannot be easily adjusted, limiting their versatility across different products, and require separate designs for each product, increasing material costs.
Innovation Solution
A conductive pattern with a variable position, featuring a base member with a bendable portion and a contact point that can be adjusted, allowing for a common design across various products and reducing the need for additional space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a contact point portion of a conductive pattern is designed to a specified length at a specified position, then the conductive pattern can be manufactured with fixed dimensions, but the position of the contact point cannot be changed and thus cannot be commonly used in other products
Solution Approach 1:
The contact point portion is designed to be movable along the conductive pattern rather than fixed at a specified position. This dynamic design allows the contact point to be repositioned to match different main circuit board contact point positions, enabling the same conductive pattern to be commonly used across various products with different configurations
Solution Approach 2:
By making the contact point portion movable, a single conductive pattern design can serve multiple product configurations and positions, achieving universality. The conductive pattern can be adapted to different main circuit board layouts without requiring separate designs for each product
2Reliability
If a conductive pattern is designed with a fixed contact point position for each product, then the design can be optimized for that specific product, but separate designs are required for each product increasing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
A single conductive pattern design with a movable contact point portion can be universally applied across multiple products, eliminating the need for separate designs for each product while maintaining product-specific optimization through flexible positioning
Solution Approach 2:
The movable contact point portion allows the same conductive pattern to be dynamically adapted to different product configurations, reducing design complexity while maintaining reliability through proper contact point alignment
