3Adaptability or versatility

If varying insulator heights are used for positioning connection lines, then positioning flexibility is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies homogeneity by standardizing insulator heights to be uniform across all positions. This eliminates the need to manufacture and inventory multiple insulator types with different heights, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining positioning capability through the automated system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by designing a single standardized insulator that serves all positioning functions. The uniform insulator structure can be used in all positions and configurations required for different connection lines, replacing the need for specialized insulators with varying heights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Ease of operation

If manual winding operations are performed, then connection adjustments can be made, but reliability decreases due to misconnection risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through the automatic winding machine that performs all positioning and connection operations without manual intervention. The system automatically ensures correct connections through programmed control, eliminating human error while maintaining the ability to make adjustments through machine programming rather than manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies feedback through the automated control system that monitors and verifies connection accuracy during the winding process. The machine uses sensors and control systems to detect positioning errors or potential misconnections and automatically corrects them, providing real-time feedback to ensure reliable connections.
