Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a magnetic core is added to cover target wiring for noise countermeasures, then noise resistance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise resistanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic core is integrated with the base member to form a unified structure. The base member serves dual functions: maintaining the flat state of multiple wirings and supporting the magnetic core that covers the target wiring. This merging eliminates the need for separate noise countermeasure components while achieving effective electromagnetic shielding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The base member is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it keeps the plurality of wirings in a flat state and provides a mounting structure for the magnetic core. This multi-functional design reduces the overall number of components needed in the wire harness system while maintaining noise resistance capabilities.

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

2Reliability

If multiple noise countermeasure components are added to wire harness, then noise resistance is improved, but ease of manufacture deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise resistanceVSAvoidassembly simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By combining the magnetic core with the base member into a integrated structure, the assembly process is simplified. Instead of separately installing multiple noise countermeasure components along the wire harness, the integrated base member with embedded magnetic core can be installed as a single unit, significantly improving ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
