Multi-Connector Grip Structure for Stable Storage Device Testing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During storage device testing, repeated connection and disconnection of cable connectors with storage connectors can lead to poor contact and potential damage due to changing connector positions.
Innovation Solution
A multi connector grip system is designed to securely fix the positions of cable connectors relative to storage connectors, using coupling surfaces with optimized structures to match various cable connector dimensions, thereby maintaining consistent connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If cable connectors are repeatedly connected and disconnected during storage device testing, then testing productivity is improved, but connector contact reliability deteriorates due to position changes and poor contact
Solution Approach 1:
The multi connector grip pre-establishes fixed positions for multiple cable connectors before testing begins. The grip device is configured with predetermined locations for accommodating different types of cable connectors, so that when storage devices are inserted, the connectors are already in their correct positions, eliminating position changes during repeated connections and disconnections
Solution Approach 2:
The multi connector grip is designed to accommodate multiple types of cable connectors simultaneously with different structures. It includes first, second, and third cable connector grooves with varying depths and configurations to fit different connector types, allowing a single device to handle diverse connector requirements while maintaining consistent positioning
2Device complexity
If a single connector grip structure is used for all cable connectors, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different connector types deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The multi connector grip applies local quality by providing different groove depths and structures at specific locations within the same device. The first cable connector groove has a first depth, the second groove has a second depth, and the third groove has a third depth, allowing each location to be optimized for its specific connector type while maintaining overall device simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The connector grip is segmented into multiple independent grooves (first, second, and third cable connector grooves) with different structures. Each groove is designed independently to accommodate a specific type of cable connector, allowing the grip to handle multiple connector types simultaneously without requiring a completely different structure for each type

AI summary
A multi connector grip includes a first surface including a first cable connector groove configured to accommodate a first cable connector, the first cable connector groove having a first cable connector groove depth and the first cable connector having a first depth; and a second surface opposite to the first surface and including a second cable connector groove configured to accommodate a second cable connector, the second cable connector groove having a second cable connector groove depth and the second cable connector having a second depth, wherein a difference between the first cable connector groove depth and the second cable connector groove depth is equal to a difference between the first depth and the second depth.
