Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Prior crimping pliers experience shaking during crimping due to manufacturing and assembly tolerances, affecting crimping quality.
Innovation Solution
A crimping plier design featuring an abutting member with a crimping hole, a crimping member with a slot for an elastic element, a crimping tooth member, a cover plate, and a driving mechanism that uses the elastic element to stabilize the crimping member and tooth member, reducing shaking by providing an elastic force during operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If traditional crimping plier design is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but shaking occurs during crimping due to large gaps between components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an elastic element as an intermediary component between the crimping member and the body. This elastic element fills the gap between components and provides continuous contact, eliminating shaking during crimping without requiring complex assembly structures. The elastic element acts as a mediator that transfers force smoothly while maintaining component stability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If tight tolerances are used to reduce gaps, then shaking is reduced, but manufacturing cost and difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state of the gap-filling approach by introducing an elastic element that can deform and adapt to dimensional variations. Instead of relying on precise dimensional parameters of rigid components, the elastic element's flexibility allows the system to accommodate a range of tolerances while maintaining stable crimping operation.
3Strength
If rigid connections are used between components, then structural strength is improved, but shaking is eliminated only by reducing gaps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces rigid static connections with a dynamic elastic connection. The elastic element can deform elastically during crimping operations, absorbing shocks and vibrations while maintaining continuous contact between components. This dynamic approach provides both structural strength and shaking elimination simultaneously.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design effectively reduces shaking and improves crimping quality by utilizing the elastic element to maintain stability and consistency in the crimping process.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic element provides an elastic force between the crimping member and the cover plate

AI summary
The crimping plier of the present invention includes an abutting member, a crimping member, a crimping tooth member, a cover plate, and a driving mechanism. The abutting member has a crimping hole for placing the connection terminal. The crimping member is adjacent to the crimping hole, and one end of an elastic element abuts against the crimping member. The crimping tooth member is fixedly disposed on the crimping member. The cover plate is connected to the abutting member and covers the crimping member, and the cover plate is also in contact with the other end of the elastic element. The driving mechanism is in contact with the crimping member to push the crimping member and the crimping tooth member. When the crimping member and the crimping tooth member slide, the elastic element provides an elastic force between the crimping member and the cover plate.
