Solution Overview

Problem

Existing power supply boxes suffer from inconvenient opening and closing processes, potential loss of cover bodies during maintenance, and contamination risks due to misalignment of inner cover plates during assembly.

Innovation Solution

A power supply box with rotatable flip-top covers, featuring a base body with accommodating grooves and spacers that isolate into power and wiring cavities, and cover bodies that rotate to switch between open and closed states, eliminating the need for repeated assembly and disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the cover body is detachably connected through a buckling method, then the power supply box can be opened and closed, but the cover body is easily lost during maintenance and the opening/closing process becomes tedious

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening and closing processVSAvoidcover body retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The cover body is transformed from a statically detachable connection to a dynamically rotatable connection. The hinge connection allows the cover to rotate between open and closed states while remaining permanently attached to the base, eliminating the risk of loss during maintenance while maintaining operational flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If the inner cover body is installed using a buckling method, then the power supply cavity can be covered, but misalignment during installation causes the cover to adhere to silicone and become contaminated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinner cover body installationVSAvoidcover body alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The installation process transitions from a static buckling operation requiring precise alignment to a dynamic rotation operation. The hinge connection guides the cover body into proper alignment automatically during rotation, eliminating misalignment issues and preventing adhesion to silicone material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the cover body is repeatedly detached and assembled, then access to the power supply cavity is achieved, but the process becomes tedious and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to power supply cavityVSAvoidtime for disassembly and assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The cover body operates as a dynamic rotatable component rather than a static detachable component. Users can quickly rotate the cover to access the power supply cavity without the time-consuming process of repeated detachment and assembly, significantly reducing operation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
