Connector Joint Support Module Boss Bracket Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices face damage and connection issues due to consistent physical forces applied during cable detachment, which can damage the cable connection structure.
Innovation Solution
A connector joint support module with a boss having projections, a connector joint, and a bracket that engages with the boss to cover the connector joint, providing a screw recess and antenna carrier or rear frame for enhanced support and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cable connection structure is used in electronic devices, then cable connection and data transmission functions are enabled, but the connector joint is damaged due to consistent physical forces applied during cable detachment
Solution Approach 1:
The connector joint structure is divided into multiple components: a connector body, a cable, and a protective structure. The protective structure is segmented into a first protective portion covering the connector body and a second protective portion covering the cable, distributing the physical forces across separate elements rather than concentrating them on the connector joint alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective structure is designed to absorb and cushion physical forces before they reach the connector joint. The first protective portion and second protective portion act as pre-positioned shock absorbers that mitigate the impact of detachment forces, preventing direct transmission of harmful forces to the connector joint.
2Reliability
If the connector joint structure is reinforced to resist physical forces, then durability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective structure merges multiple protective functions into a single integrated component that covers both the connector body and cable. This unified structure provides comprehensive protection without requiring separate complex reinforcement mechanisms for each part, thereby maintaining simplicity while improving durability.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it protects the connector body from physical damage, protects the cable from stress, and reduces the overall complexity by providing a single solution that addresses multiple protection needs rather than requiring separate mechanisms for each.

AI summary
A connector joint support module includes a boss including at least one projection; a connector joint disposed in an area adjacent to the boss, and a bracket disposed to be engaged with the boss while covering at least a portion of the connector joint. An electronic device includes a boss including at least one projection, a connector joint disposed in an area adjacent to the boss, a bracket disposed to be engaged with the boss and to cover at least a portion of the connector joint, a screw recess formed in a female screw shape at a center of the projection of the boss, an antenna carrier or a rear frame disposed to enclose the bracket, and a screw passing through one side of the antenna carrier or the rear frame and engaged with the screw recess of the boss.
