Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electrical connectors suffer from poor assembly accuracy due to the connector main body being directly secured onto the housing, leading to potential displacement and improper positioning.

Innovation Solution

The electrical connector design incorporates a connecting housing and a limiting member, which allows the connector main body to be assembled onto the housing through the cooperation of these components, enhancing assembly accuracy by restricting movement and ensuring proper positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the connector main body is directly secured onto the housing, then the structure is simple, but the assembly accuracy deteriorates due to displacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidassembly accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting housing serves as an intermediary component between the connector main body and the housing. It includes a limiting member that cooperates with the housing to restrict the connector main body's movement, thereby improving assembly accuracy without significantly complicating the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If the connector main body is directly secured onto the housing, then the number of components is reduced, but the positioning precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of componentsVSAvoidpositioning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting housing acts as a mediator that provides positioning functionality through its limiting member. This additional component enables precise positioning by restricting movement in specific directions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If the connector main body is directly secured onto the housing, then the assembly process is simple, but the stability deteriorates due to improper securing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly process simplicityVSAvoidsecuring stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting housing with its limiting member serves as an intermediary that enhances securing stability. The limiting member cooperates with the housing to prevent displacement, ensuring the connector main body is properly secured while maintaining a straightforward assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
