Modular Cable Transitions for High-Volume Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cable transitions face limitations in handling large data volumes and adapting to changing data types and security specifications, leading to transmission delays and inefficiencies, especially in systems with movable components like doors and windows.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a modular design with signal processing units connected via a single cable transition, utilizing a master-slave architecture and field bus systems for data management, along with transmitting and receiving units for signal conversion and encryption, allows for flexible expansion and adaptation to increasing data demands while maintaining a compact system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple cable transitions are installed simultaneously along the frame edge to connect a large number of lines, then the number of connected lines is improved, but the installation complexity and space requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple cable transitions into a single integrated cable transition assembly. This assembly includes a common mounting structure with multiple cable guides and connection elements arranged in a compact configuration, allowing multiple signal lines to be connected through one unified component rather than installing separate cable transitions for each line group.
2Quantity of substance
If the available inside diameter of the protective sheath is increased to pass more cables, then the number of cables that can be passed is improved, but the flexibility of the cable transition worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the cable transition system by providing individual cable guides and routing channels for each cable or small cable groups within the assembly. Each cable has its own dedicated path through the protective sheath, allowing cables to be routed separately rather than bundled together. This segmentation enables the protective sheath to maintain a practical diameter while accommodating multiple cables through optimized spatial arrangement.
3Productivity
If a single cable transition is used to connect multiple signal lines, then the installation effort is reduced, but the data transmission capacity is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the single cable transition assembly with universal connection elements and modular components that can accommodate various cable types and configurations. The assembly includes multiple connection points, adjustable cable guides, and standardized interfaces that enable it to handle both low-capacity and high-capacity cable arrangements within the same physical structure, making the data transmission capacity scalable based on the specific cables installed.

AI summary
A cable transition for connecting several signal lines arriving at a first signal processing unit arranged on a first support with several signal lines departing from a second signal processing unit arranged on a second support which is pivotable relative to the first support, comprising a connecting cable extending between the two signal processing units, wherein the first signal processing unit comprises a first multi-channel signal converter which converts measurement, monitoring and/or control signals arriving on the incoming signal lines into a bundled transmission signal that can be transmitted via the connecting cable and whose signal output is connected to one end of the connecting cable, and wherein the second signal processing unit comprises a second multi-channel signal converter serving as a signal return converter.The device, which is connected to the other end of the connecting cable and delivers signals at its outputs corresponding to the original measurement, monitoring, and/or control signals, should be particularly easy to process and transmit even large amounts of data or signal information and should be particularly easy to adapt to changing data volumes, data types, and security requirements. For this purpose, at least one signal processing unit includes at least one connecting element for connecting the processor unit and/or the signal converter to a processor unit and/or a signal converter of a third signal processing unit.
