Solution Overview

Problem

Power junction boxes with a square shape are difficult to install in slender spaces and occupy wiring chamber spaces, making adjustment of electrical parameters inconvenient due to the presence of adjustment modules within.

Innovation Solution

A long-strip power junction box design with wiring chambers at both ends of a power chamber, featuring a cover plate that covers the chambers and includes a circuit board and adjustment module, allowing for easy installation in narrow spaces and independent adjustment of electrical parameters without occupying wiring chamber space.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the power junction box adopts a square shape, then it can provide sufficient internal space for components, but it becomes difficult to install in slender spaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternal spaceVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The power junction box is divided into multiple functional chambers (power chamber and wiring chambers) arranged linearly, transforming the compact square design into an extended long-strip configuration that fits slender installation spaces while maintaining adequate internal volume for components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design transitions from a two-dimensional square footprint to a three-dimensional long-strip configuration, utilizing the length dimension to accommodate internal space requirements while reducing the width and height dimensions to fit slender installation environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If the adjustment module is installed at inner sides of wiring chambers, then it can be integrated within the power junction box, but it occupies wiring chamber space and makes parameter adjustment inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveintegrationVSAvoidparameter adjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment module is extracted from the wiring chambers and relocated to the power chamber, eliminating the conflict between adjustment operations and cable installation while maintaining integration within the overall power junction box structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The power chamber serves as an intermediary space that houses the adjustment module, allowing it to be integrated into the power junction box without interfering with the wiring chambers' primary function of cable routing and organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Volume of stationary object

If the adjustment module is located within wiring chambers, then it can be housed within the power junction box, but cables affect the adjustment of electrical parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehousing spaceVSAvoidelectrical parameter adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The power junction box is segmented into distinct functional zones: the power chamber for housing the adjustment module and circuit board, and separate wiring chambers for cable management, preventing cable interference with adjustment operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment module is taken out from the wiring chamber environment and relocated to the power chamber, eliminating the harmful interaction between cables and adjustment operations while maintaining compact integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
