Electronic Component Module Protrusion Prevents Connection Line Pinching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic component modules face a risk of connection lines being pinched between the module and the casing during assembly, leading to mechanical and electrical issues.
Innovation Solution
The electronic component module incorporates a protrusion that is positioned on the same side as the connection line when it is led out, allowing for tilting during assembly to prevent pinching by ensuring the protrusion abuts the casing edge before the connection line, thus reducing the risk of pinching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the connection line is allowed to hang down freely from the speaker body, then the electrical connection is simple and flexible, but the connection line may become pinched between the frame and the edge of the casing during assembly
Solution Approach 1:
A protrusion is introduced as an intermediary element between the connection line and the casing edge. The protrusion extends in the third direction (crossing the first and second directions) and is positioned on the first direction side relative to the connection line, acting as a mediator that prevents direct contact between the connection line and the casing edge, thereby avoiding pinching while maintaining electrical connectivity
Solution Approach 2:
The protrusion is pre-positioned on the function part or fixing part before assembly occurs. During the assembly process, the protrusion automatically abuts against the casing edge first (in the first direction), creating a preliminary mechanical stop that prevents the connection line from being pinched between the frame and the casing edge
2Volume of moving object
If the connection line is positioned close to the abutting face for compact design, then the module size is reduced, but the connection line is more susceptible to pinching during assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion extends in the third direction, which crosses both the first direction (orthogonal to abutting face) and second direction (opposite to first direction). This three-dimensional configuration creates a protective spatial relationship where the protrusion shields the connection line from pinching risks while maintaining compact module dimensions
3Reliability
If the protrusion is positioned on the first direction side relative to the connection line, then the connection line is protected from pinching, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion is integrated with either the function part or the fixing part as a unified structure. This merging approach allows the protrusion to perform its protective function without requiring separate components, thereby reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining connection line protection

AI summary
An electronic component module including a fixing part, a function part housed in, or fixed to, the fixing part, at least one connection line, and at least one protrusion on the function part or the fixing part. The fixing part includes an abutting face, an outer face extending from an end of the abutting face in a direction including a component of a first direction, and an edge line along which the abutting and outer faces meet. The connection line is flexible, electrically connected to the function part, positioned on a second direction side relative to the abutting face, and configured to be led out in a third direction from an inside to an outside relative to the edge line. The protrusion extends at least partly in the third direction and is positioned at least partly on the first direction side relative to the connection line in the led-out state.
