Solution Overview

Problem

Current crystal heads with golden plates require precise insertion and alignment of twisted pair wires, making the installation process laborious and time-consuming due to small insertion holes and specific order requirements.

Innovation Solution

A crimp crystal head design featuring a base with multiple insertion slots, golden plates, a circuit board, crimping terminals with wiring holes and crimping troughs, and a fixing seat with larger holes and flexible fixing bars for easy wire insertion and secure electrical connection, eliminating the need for precise alignment and direct contact with golden plates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If small insertion holes are used to maintain crystal head size limits, then the crystal head size is controlled, but the insertion operation becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrystal head sizeVSAvoidinsertion operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The crystal head is divided into two functional parts: a base with small insertion holes for maintaining size, and a separate fixing seat with large insertion holes for easy wire insertion. This segmentation allows each part to optimize its function independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing seat acts as an intermediary component between the base and the twisted pair wires. It provides large insertion holes that facilitate easy wire insertion, then transfers the wires to the base through terminal trenches, eliminating the need for direct insertion into the small base holes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If specific order and alignment requirements are imposed on twisted pair wires, then electrical connection reliability is improved, but the installation process becomes laborious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing seat with large insertion holes allows wires to be inserted freely without precise alignment. The terminal trenches and crimping terminals are pre-positioned to automatically guide and secure the wires, eliminating the need for manual alignment while ensuring reliable electrical connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The crimping terminals with crimping troughs automatically secure the wires through deformation when crimped, without requiring precise manual positioning. The structure itself provides the alignment and fixation functions, reducing labor intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If direct contact between twisted pair wires and golden plates is required, then electrical connection is achieved, but precise positioning and alignment are necessary increasing complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidinsertion requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing seat and terminal trenches serve as intermediaries between the twisted pair wires and the golden plates in the base. Wires are inserted into the fixing seat, guided through terminal trenches, and connected to crimping terminals, eliminating the need for direct insertion into the base and its small holes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The electrical connection path is segmented into multiple stages: insertion into fixing seat, guidance through terminal trenches, and final connection via crimping terminals. This segmentation relaxes the positioning requirements at each stage while ensuring reliable overall connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A crimp crystal head includes a base, golden plates, a circuit board, crimping terminals and a fixing seat. The base has insertion slots. The golden plates are separately placed in the insertion slots. The circuit board is disposed in the base. Two ends of the circuit board connect to the golden plates and have terminal holes, respectively. Each crimping terminal has a wiring hole for being inserted by a twisted pair wire and a crimping trough for fixing and connecting the twisted pair wire. The wiring hole communicates with the crimping trough. Each crimping terminal has a fixing bar inserted into the terminal hole with interference fit. The fixing seat is installed on the circuit board and has terminal trenches and inserting holes separately communicating with the terminal trenches. The crimping terminal is inserted into the terminal trench. The insertion hole is inserted by the twisted pair wire.
