Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wire slots are difficult to disassemble after installation, making it challenging to add or replace wires.

Innovation Solution

A flip-type wire slot design with a fixedly connected side and a detachably connected side, featuring arc-shaped structures for easier assembly and disassembly, allowing the cover to be opened directly for wire replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the wire slot cover is fixedly connected to the wire slot main body (sliding connection), then the connection is stable and reliable, but the disassembly becomes difficult after installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiddisassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between the wire slot cover and main body is divided into two distinct sides: one side with fixed connection for stability, and the other side with detachable connection for easy disassembly. This segmentation allows the same connection system to provide both reliability and ease of operation for different functional requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection state is made dynamic rather than static. The wire slot cover transitions from a permanently fixed state to a state where it can be selectively fixed or detached. The flip-type design enables the cover to switch between locked and unlocked positions, allowing users to disassemble and reassemble as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the wire slot cover is detachably connected to the wire slot main body, then the wire replacement becomes convenient, but the connection stability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire replacement convenienceVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is segmented into fixed and detachable portions. The fixed connection portion maintains connection stability and reliability, while the detachable portion enables convenient wire replacement. This segmentation allows both contradictory requirements to be satisfied in different parts of the same system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If arc-shaped structures are added to facilitate assembly and disassembly, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly and disassembly easeVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Arc-shaped structures are incorporated into the connection interface between the wire slot cover and main body. These curved geometric features guide the assembly and disassembly motions, providing mechanical advantage and ease of operation. The arc shapes create natural cam actions that facilitate smooth engagement and disengagement without requiring complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

AI summary

A flip-type wire slot relates to the technical field of wire slots, including: a wire slot main body and a wire slot cover, wherein one side of the wire slot cover is fixedly connected to one side of the wire slot main body, the other side of the wire slot cover is a free side, and the free side of the wire slot cover (2) is detachably connected to the other side of the wire slot main body. The adoption of the above technical solution has the advantage of facilitating the removal of the wire slot cover.
