Detachable Wiring Module Holders for Repairable Cable Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing wiring modules with housed wiring members in grooves have limited repairability, making it difficult to detach and replace individual components without affecting the entire module.
Innovation Solution
A wiring module design featuring a base member with attachment surfaces and detachable holding members that include grooves and attachment portions, allowing for easy detachment and reattachment of wiring members without requiring replacement of the base member, and optionally featuring elastic deformation for enhanced accessibility and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wiring members are housed in grooves of a built-in component, then wiring members can be securely held and organized, but repairability deteriorates because the entire built-in component must be replaced to repair individual wiring members
Solution Approach 1:
The built-in component is divided into multiple independent holding members, each capable of being detached separately. Each holding member contains grooves for housing wiring members and has an attachment portion that can be detachably attached to the box-shaped member. This segmentation allows individual holding members to be removed and replaced without affecting other holding members or the entire built-in component, thereby improving repairability while maintaining secure housing through the groove structures.
2Stability of the object's composition
If wiring members are permanently fixed in grooves, then structural stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates because wiring members cannot be easily removed or replaced
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment portion of each holding member is designed to be detachably attached to the box-shaped member, transforming the static permanent fixation into a dynamic reversible connection. This allows the holding member to be easily detached and reattached, enabling wiring members to be removed and replaced without permanent damage to the structure. The groove structures within each holding member continue to provide stable housing for the wiring members during normal operation.
