Solution Overview

Problem

Existing connectors suffer from poor structural stability, leading to signal interference between adjacent elastic pieces during signal transmission, which affects the stability of signal transmission.

Innovation Solution

A ground wire spacer structure for connectors is introduced, featuring two spliced monoblocks with metal spacers separating the elastic pieces and a conductive sheet connected to a ground wire, forming independent regions to prevent signal interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If elastic pieces are arranged adjacently in the connector, then the connector can accommodate multiple signal connections, but signal interference occurs between adjacent elastic pieces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal connection capacityVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The connector is divided into multiple independent regions by metal spacers and conductive sheets. Each elastic piece is contained within its own isolated region, physically separating adjacent elastic pieces to prevent signal interference while maintaining multiple signal connections simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Metal spacers and conductive sheets are introduced as intermediary elements between adjacent elastic pieces. These intermediaries create physical barriers and electromagnetic shielding that prevent direct signal interference between neighboring elastic pieces while allowing each to function independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If metal spacers and conductive sheets are added to separate elastic pieces, then signal interference is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple functional elements are merged into integrated components. The metal spacers serve both as mechanical separators and as part of the grounding system when combined with conductive sheets. The conductive sheet simultaneously provides electromagnetic shielding and structural support, reducing the number of separate components needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The metal spacers and conductive sheets perform multiple functions simultaneously: they act as physical barriers to separate elastic pieces, provide electromagnetic shielding to prevent signal interference, establish grounding paths, and maintain structural integrity of the connector assembly.

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