Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If existing electric connection assemblies are used, then electrical connection is achieved, but the structure is complex and assembly is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the connector and support into a unified assembly where the connector is directly mounted on the support through a mounting groove and limiting protrusion structure. This merging of components simplifies the overall structure and eliminates the need for separate mounting operations, directly addressing the contradiction between structural complexity and assembly convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The support is divided into functional regions including a mounting groove for the connector, a limiting protrusion for positioning, and a blocking wall for securing. This segmentation of the support structure into specialized zones enables simple yet effective assembly while maintaining structural integrity, resolving the contradiction between complexity and ease of assembly.
2Reliability
If existing electric connection assemblies are used, then electrical connection is achieved, but the assembly is unstable due to tolerance issues
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting protrusion is pre-formed on the support at the correct position and orientation. When the connector is installed, this pre-positioned protrusion automatically guides and secures the connector in the correct location, eliminating tolerance accumulation issues and ensuring stable assembly without requiring high manufacturing precision across multiple components.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting groove and limiting protrusion act as intermediary structures that mediate between the connector and support. These intermediary features provide precise positioning and secure mounting, reducing sensitivity to manufacturing tolerances and improving overall assembly stability and reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the connector is mounted with fixed positioning, then position is determined, but the assembly is inflexible and has poor universal performance
Solution Approach 1:
The support design with standardized mounting groove and limiting protrusion creates a universal interface that can accommodate different connector types and configurations. This universal mounting structure enables the same support to be used across multiple applications and connector variations, improving adaptability and universal performance without increasing complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an electric connection assembly having a support and a connector; the support comprises a support body; the support body is provided with a mounting groove and a limiting protrusion; at least part of the connector is arranged within the mounting groove; and the limiting protrusion can cooperate with the connector so as to prevent the connector from withdrawing from the mounting groove. Compared with the prior art, the electric connection assembly is simple in overall structure and convenient to assemble. In the electric connection assembly, the stability of the integral assembly of the connector and the support can be enhanced by arranging the corresponding limiting protrusions on the support. Particularly, compared with the support and the connector which are integrally formed by embedded injection molding, the electric connection assembly can avoid the problems of fixed mounting position, inflexibility and the like of the connector due to reasons such as tolerance and the like.
