Jumper Terminal Belt Structure for Easy Cutting and Flat Incisions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Jumper terminal belts with metal-covered rubber junctions are difficult to cut due to scissors being blocked by the metal, leading to cutting difficulties and uneven incisions.
Innovation Solution
A jumper terminal belt structure featuring a metal stamping member with connecting bridges and a soft insulative body with tying portions, where each connecting bridge and tying portion are separated and arranged at intervals, allowing for easy cutting and flat incisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the connecting bridge and tying portion are integrated or closely arranged, then the structure is more compact, but the scissors are blocked by the metal connecting bridge when cutting the rubber tying portion, causing cutting difficulty and uneven incisions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the connector structure into two separate components: a metal connecting bridge for electrical connection and a rubber tying portion for mechanical bonding. By segmenting these functions into spatially separated elements, the scissors can access and cut the rubber tying portion without being blocked by the metal connecting bridge, while maintaining the compact overall structure through their coordinated arrangement.
2Reliability
If the metal connecting bridge is used to join jumper terminals, then the electrical connection is reliable, but the metal blocks the scissors when cutting the rubber tying portion, leading to cutting difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the electrical connection function (metal connecting bridge) and the mechanical bonding function (rubber tying portion) into separate spatial zones. The metal connecting bridge maintains reliable electrical contact between jumper terminals, while the separately positioned rubber tying portion allows unobstructed access for scissors during cutting operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The rubber tying portion acts as an intermediary element that provides mechanical bonding without interfering with the electrical connection function. Its separate positioning allows it to fulfill the mechanical bonding role while enabling scissors to cut through it without being blocked by the metal connecting bridge.
3Shape
If the connecting bridge and tying portion are closely arranged or integrated, then the overall structure is more compact, but the incision becomes uneven when cutting
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the metal connecting bridge and rubber tying portion into separate spatial zones, the patent enables clean, flat incisions when cutting the rubber tying portion. The separation ensures that the scissors blade can cut through the rubber material without encountering the metal connecting bridge, which would cause uneven cutting edges.

AI summary
A jumper terminal belt structure (10) includes a metal stamping member (1) and a soft insulative body (2). The metal stamping member (1) includes multiple jumper terminals (11) and multiple connecting bridges (12) connected between the multiple jumper terminals (11). The soft insulative body (2) includes multiple insulative seats (21) covering an end of each jumper terminal (11) and multiple tying portion (22) connected between the multiple insulative seats (21). Each connecting bridge (12) and each tying portion (22) are separated from each other and arranged at intervals. Therefore, the jumper terminal belt structure (10) has an advantage of being easily cut and flat incisions.
