Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cable holders lack the ability to provide efficient mobility and freedom of movement for cables, limiting their usability and flexibility in various applications.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cable holder is fixed rigidly to an application component, then the holding stability is improved, but the mobility and freedom of movement of the cable is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing the rigid fixed connection with a magnetic coupling mechanism that allows dynamic movement. The holder housing can rotate about the second reference axis and tilt relative to the application component surface section while maintaining magnetic attraction, enabling the cable to move freely along and transversely to the first reference axis while still being securely held.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the traditional mechanical rigid fastening system with a magnetic field-based coupling system. The magnetic coupling piece replaces mechanical fasteners or adhesives, providing secure holding through magnetic attraction while inherently allowing rotational and tilting movements, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and mobility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a magnetic coupling piece is used to enable movement, then the mobility and flexibility is improved, but the holding strength may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the magnetic coupling piece properties (material, size, magnetic strength) and the spacing between the magnetic coupling piece and application component to achieve the right balance. The magnetic attraction force is sufficient to hold the cable securely while allowing controlled rotational and tilting movements, maintaining both holding strength and mobility.
