Folded Wiring Board for Switch Button Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing board connection structures for electronic devices are cumbersome and costly due to the need for additional components like adaptor connectors and lengthy wiring, making them difficult to assemble and increasing part counts.
Innovation Solution
A board connection structure featuring a wiring board with a contact point section and a connection section on the same surface, which can be folded to intersect and attached to a holding member, eliminating the need for connectors and reducing part count and wiring length.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an adaptor connector is connected to the circuit board by connecting wires to provide the connector in the motherboard, then the circuit board and motherboard can be electrically connected, but the number of parts increases and the connecting operation becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the adaptor connector and the circuit board into a single integrated structure. The wiring board is formed integrally with the switch button assembly, eliminating the need for separate adaptor connectors and connecting wires. This merging reduces the number of parts while maintaining reliable electrical connection between the switch button and the motherboard.
2Reliability
If an adaptor connector is connected to the circuit board by connecting wires, then the circuit board and motherboard can be electrically connected, but the connecting operation becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring board is integrated with the switch button assembly, creating a unified component that eliminates multiple connection steps. The switch button assembly can be directly mounted on the motherboard without requiring separate adaptor connector attachment, significantly simplifying the connecting operation while ensuring reliable electrical connection.
3Reliability
If an adaptor connector is used to connect the circuit board to the motherboard, then electrical connection is achieved, but cost reduction cannot be achieved due to increased part count
Solution Approach 1:
The switch button assembly and wiring board are manufactured as a single integrated component. This consolidation reduces the total number of parts that need to be procured, stored, and assembled, leading to cost reductions in manufacturing, inventory management, and assembly operations while maintaining reliable electrical connection functionality.
