Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a HUB is connected to universal connection devices for power supply, then the HUB can operate reliably, but the HUB cannot be deployed in areas without universal connection devices, limiting its adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply reliabilityVSAvoiddeployment flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the power connection function from the universal connection device and integrates it directly into the HUB structure. The HUB is designed with built-in power connection terminals that can directly connect to power lines without requiring external sockets or connectors, thereby eliminating the dependency on universal connection devices while maintaining reliable power supply.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the power connection function with the HUB's structural design. The HUB housing incorporates power connection terminals and guiding structures that guide power lines directly into the HUB, combining what were previously separate components (universal connection device and HUB) into an integrated unit, thereby enabling deployment without external power connection infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Use of energy by moving object

If universal connection devices are used for power supply, then the HUB can be powered, but additional devices and infrastructure are required, increasing device complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply capabilityVSAvoidconnection device requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the power supply function directly into the HUB structure. The HUB housing includes integrated power connection terminals and internal guiding structures that channel power lines directly to the power supply circuitry, eliminating the need for separate universal connection devices and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The HUB is designed with multi-functional integration where the same structural components serve both mechanical support and electrical connection functions. The housing provides structural support while simultaneously guiding and connecting power lines, and the power connection terminals serve both as entry points and as part of the internal power distribution system, reducing the number of dedicated components needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The present invention provides an electric base, an electric gateway, and an electric gateway body. The electric base includes: an electric base body, where two guide holes for passing cables in an electric grid are arranged in the electric base body, an output end for outputting a voltage of the cables is arranged on the electric base body and protrudes from the electric base body, and a conductor structure is nested in the electric base body to connect the cables and the output end. The foregoing electric base can output power to enable the electric gateway body to operate, thereby effectively saving the cost of an electric gateway in the prior art, and meanwhile expanding the application scope of an electric gateway.
