Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional motor devices require manual processing of multiple wires, leading to increased labor and risk of sealing failures, as well as potential interference between power and signal wires, which complicates automatic production and signal transmission accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A motor device with a bracket integrally formed with a connection assembly, where at least two wires are externally connected through a single sealing component, using a modular structure that includes a first and second connector, ensuring accurate signal transmission and reducing sealing failure risks by avoiding interference between power and signal wires.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If multiple wires are connected through different connectors, then each wire can be externally connected, but the number of sealing structures increases and the risk of sealing failure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal connection capabilityVSAvoidsealing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple connectors into a single integrated connection assembly that houses multiple connectors internally. This merging approach reduces the number of external sealing structures from multiple individual connector seals to a single unified sealing component, thereby maintaining external connection capability while improving sealing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection assembly serves as a universal structure that handles multiple wire connections simultaneously through integrated connectors. This multi-functional design allows power wires, signal wires, and brake wires to be connected through a single assembly with one sealing component, rather than requiring separate connectors for each wire type.

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

2Ease of operation

If multiple connectors are used for different wires, then each wire can be connected externally, but more labor is required for processing sealing structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire connection capabilityVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple connectors into a single connection assembly unit, the patent reduces the number of separate sealing operations required during assembly. The integrated design allows workers to install one sealing component rather than multiple individual seals, significantly improving production efficiency while maintaining full wire connection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection assembly is pre-integrated with multiple connectors and wiring arrangements before installation. This preliminary preparation of the connection assembly means that during final assembly, only a single sealing component needs to be installed rather than multiple separate sealing operations, thereby improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If power wire and signal wire are connected through separate connectors, then each wire can be connected, but interference between wires occurs and signal transmission accuracy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire connection flexibilityVSAvoidsignal transmission accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts signal wires from proximity to power wires by routing them through separate internal pathways within the connection assembly. This spatial separation prevents electromagnetic interference between power and signal wires while maintaining flexible external connection capability for both wire types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection assembly acts as an intermediary structure that provides isolated internal pathways for different wire types. This mediator design allows power wires and signal wires to be externally connected through the same assembly while preventing direct interference by using internal shielding and separation structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
