Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conductive connection parts and terminals are assembled separately with secondary mating, then connection flexibility is improved, but assembly complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the conductive connection part and terminal into a single integrally formed component. The terminal includes a conductive connection part, connection portion, and terminal body that are all formed as one piece through injection molding, eliminating the need for secondary mating operations and reducing assembly complexity while maintaining connection flexibility.
2Ease of manufacture
If conductive connection parts and terminals are assembled separately, then manufacturing flexibility is improved, but assembly time and labor increase
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive connection part and terminal are combined into a single integrally formed component manufactured through injection molding. This maintains manufacturing flexibility while significantly improving assembly rate by eliminating multiple assembly steps and reducing labor requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrally formed terminal structure serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connection, mechanical connection, and structural support all in one component. This multi-functionality improves productivity by reducing the number of parts that need to be assembled while maintaining manufacturing flexibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used in the high-voltage box, then component functionality is improved, but assembly process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional elements (conductive connection part, connection portion, terminal body) into a single integrally formed terminal component. This maintains all necessary functionalities while simplifying the assembly process by reducing the number of parts and elimination of secondary mating operations.
