Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If fixed assembly positions are used for heat-shrinkable sleeve or optical device PLC, then the structural simplicity and ease of manufacture are improved, but the adaptability and universality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed assembly position system into a dynamic adjustable system. The clamping member includes guide sliding tables that can move along guide holes, and connecting bosses that can be positioned at different locations, enabling the assembly position to be dynamically adjusted according to different optical cable laying scenarios while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal clamping member structure that can accommodate multiple types of optical devices (heat-shrinkable sleeves, PLCs) and adapt to different installation scenarios. The guide sliding tables and connecting bosses are designed to work together in various configurations, making the same basic structure applicable to overhead, pipeline, and directly buried laying manners

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If adjustable assembly positions are implemented, then the adaptability and universality are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the clamping member into segmented functional components: guide sliding tables for positioning, connecting bosses for attachment, and clamping pieces for securing. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, reducing overall complexity while enabling adjustable assembly positions through the coordinated movement of these segments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested structure where the guide sliding tables are positioned within the guide holes, and the connecting bosses are integrated into the base plate. This nesting arrangement allows the adjustable positioning mechanism to be compactly integrated within the existing connector box structure, minimizing the increase in device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

An optical fiber disc optical fiber connector box includes an expansion optical fiber disc and a clamping member for connecting a heat-shrinkable sleeve or an optical device PLC. The clamping member includes a base plate. A plurality of clamping pieces arranged in parallel at intervals along an X-axis direction are disposed on an end face of one side of the base plate, and at least one guide sliding table and at least one connecting boss are disposed on an end face of the other side of the base plate. A first guide hole is disposed in the middle of the expansion optical fiber disc, and the first guide hole extends along the X-axis direction. A plurality of clamping member connecting hole groups arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction are disposed on both sides of the first guide hole.
