Flat Wiring Fixing Structure to Prevent Harness Bundling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wire harnesses struggle to maintain their spread state when fixed to a target, leading to potential damage or inefficiency in electrical power transmission and signal distribution.
Innovation Solution
A wiring member with a fixing member that includes a flat wiring member and a plate-like fixing part, where the plate-like part is attached to the base material in a surface-contacting configuration, allowing the wiring member to maintain its spread state when attached to a fixing target, and the fixing part is designed to secure the wiring member to the target while preventing bundling of the wire-like transmission members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the wiring member is fixed to the fixing target using conventional methods, then the wiring member can be secured to the target, but the wiring member cannot maintain its spread state and becomes bundled or folded
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a plate-like part that extends in one direction (longitudinal direction) to maintain the wiring member's spread state. This plate-like structure provides a dimensional framework that prevents the wiring member from folding or bundling, thereby maintaining its flat configuration while being fixed to the fixing target.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies different structural characteristics to different parts of the wiring member. The plate-like part is made rigid to maintain the spread state, while the wire-like transmission members remain flexible for electrical function. This local differentiation allows the wiring member to maintain its spread state in the plate region while preserving electrical transmission capability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the wiring member is made flat to maintain spread state, then the wiring member can be fixed properly, but the wire-like transmission members may become damaged or misaligned
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the wiring member into distinct segments: the plate-like part for structural support and maintenance of spread state, and multiple wire-like transmission members for electrical function. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function without interfering with the other, protecting the wire-like transmission members from damage while maintaining the overall spread state.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire-like transmission members are designed as flexible elements that can be arrayed on the plate-like part. This flexible design allows them to conform to the plate structure while maintaining their electrical transmission capability, preventing damage that would occur if they were rigidly constrained.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the plate-like part is attached in surface contact with the base material, then the wiring member maintains its spread state, but the fixing strength may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The plate-like part is designed to be attached to the base material in advance, establishing a stable foundation before the wiring member is fixed to the fixing target. This preliminary attachment ensures the wiring member maintains its spread state during the fixing process, preventing misalignment or damage to the wire-like transmission members.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines the plate-like part and the wire-like transmission members into a single integrated wiring member structure. This merging allows the plate-like part to provide structural support for maintaining the spread state while the wire-like transmission members provide electrical function, achieving both structural stability and electrical reliability in one component.
