Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing installation process for wiring terminals on panel structures is cumbersome and inefficient, requiring individual assembly, which affects production efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A pin with multiple wiring terminals and a mounting base, featuring through holes and positioning blocks, allows for direct installation onto a panel structure base using connecting pieces, along with locking and clamping structures for secure attachment and protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wiring terminals are installed one by one on the panel structure, then each terminal can be individually positioned and connected, but the assembly process becomes cumbersome and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple wiring terminals are integrated into a single pin assembly with a mounting base, allowing them to be installed simultaneously as one unit rather than individually. The mounting base incorporates multiple mounting holes and positioning blocks that align with corresponding features on the base, enabling batch installation of multiple terminals through a single operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The wiring terminals are pre-assembled onto the mounting base before installation on the panel structure. The mounting base is prepared with mounting holes and positioning blocks in advance, so that when the pin is installed on the base, the wiring terminals are already in their correct positions and orientations, eliminating the need for individual positioning and installation steps.
2Reliability
If a plug structure is used, then it is simple and easy to install, but it is easily pulled out of the socket and lacks stability
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is divided into distinct components: the pin with mounting base, the base with positioning blocks and locking structure, and the cover body. The positioning blocks provide precise alignment while the locking structure secures the connection. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pin is nested within the base through the positioning blocks and locking structure, and the cover body is then nested over the pin and base assembly. This nested arrangement provides secure containment and stabilization while maintaining ease of assembly through a straightforward sequence of operations.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If wiring terminals are exposed on the panel structure, then they are easily accessible and connected, but they pose safety risks from accidental contact
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring terminals are extracted from direct exposure on the panel surface and are instead contained within the pin assembly. The mounting base and cover body create a protective enclosure that isolates the wiring terminals from accidental contact while maintaining electrical connectivity through the designated connection interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover body acts as a protective shell that encloses the pin and wiring terminals. This shell provides physical protection and isolation, preventing accidental contact with exposed wiring terminals while allowing the connection to be made through the structured interface between the pin and base.
