Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If an integrally injection molded patch panel assembly is used, then the structure is compact and cables are automatically arranged, but the structure becomes complex and connection reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The integral patch panel assembly is divided into separate modular components: a holder for power connection cables, a patch panel for signal cables, and a protection cover. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure while maintaining compact arrangement, allowing each component to be independently manufactured and assembled, thus reducing structural complexity and improving connection reliability.
2Productivity
If an integrally injection molded patch panel assembly is used, then cable arrangement is automatic, but component replacement and maintenance become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly is segmented into replaceable modules (holder, patch panel, protection cover) that can be independently accessed and maintained. The protection cover can be removed to access internal components, and the holder and patch panel can be separately replaced if needed, significantly improving ease of repair while maintaining production efficiency through modular manufacturing.
Solution Approach 2:
The design incorporates dynamic accessibility through removable protection covers and flexible cable management, allowing the system to transition from a fixed integral structure to a maintainable modular structure. This enables easy access to internal components for replacement and maintenance without dismantling the entire assembly.
3Reliability
If connection pieces are mounted in the holder with side plates, then connection reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Connection pieces are mounted in separate holder units with individual side plates, creating modular connection modules. This segmentation improves connection reliability by providing dedicated mounting structures for each connection piece while keeping the overall device complexity manageable through standardized modular components that can be replicated.

AI summary
An assembly for power connection and signal acquisition includes a power connection member and a patch panel. The power connection member includes a holder, a plurality of connection pieces disposed in the holder, and a protection shell mounted on the holder to protect the plurality of connection pieces. The patch panel includes a trough that defines a plurality of cable slots, a sampling cable received in each of the cable slots, and a protection cover mounted on the trough to protect the sampling cable received in the cable slot. A sampling terminal is disposed at an end of the sampling cable for electrically connecting the sampling cable with each of the connection pieces.
