Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electrical connectors require manual alignment and clamping of cables, which is time-consuming and imprecise, leading to inefficiencies in connecting cables to terminals.

Innovation Solution

An electrical connector design featuring an insulation pillar with embedded terminals and a cable arranging base, where puncturing tools extend radially from the terminals, allowing for easy clipping and precise alignment of cables, with a cylinder housing and limiting walls for secure connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual alignment and clamping of cables is used, then the electrical connector can be connected to cables, but the process is time-consuming and imprecise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of cable connectionVSAvoidalignment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The cable arranging base pre-arranges multiple cables in fixed positions with insertion slots that correspond to puncturing tools. This preliminary arrangement eliminates the need for manual alignment during connection, as cables are already positioned correctly before the connection process begins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The cable arranging base acts as an intermediary device between the cables and the electrical connector. It provides a structured platform with insertion slots that guide cables into proper alignment and facilitate their connection to corresponding terminals through the puncturing tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If manual alignment of cables is used, then cables can be connected to terminals, but the alignment precision is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of cable connectionVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The cable arranging base pre-arranges multiple cables in fixed positions with insertion slots that correspond to puncturing tools. This preliminary arrangement eliminates the need for manual alignment during connection, as cables are already positioned correctly before the connection process begins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The cable arranging base acts as an intermediary device between the cables and the electrical connector. It provides a structured platform with insertion slots that guide cables into proper alignment and facilitate their connection to corresponding terminals through the puncturing tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If a cable arranging base with multiple insertion slots is used, then multiple cables can be connected efficiently, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cable arranging base integrates multiple functions into a single component: it holds multiple cables, provides alignment slots for each cable, and facilitates connection to multiple terminals simultaneously. This merging of functions improves productivity while keeping the overall structure manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The cable arranging base is designed as a universal component that can accommodate multiple cables of different types. The insertion slots are configured to work with various cable arrangements, making the device versatile and reducing the need for multiple specialized components.

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