Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a separate wiring system is provided for each vehicle specification, then each specification can be fully supported, but the number of circuits increases and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a multipurpose wiring member that can serve multiple vehicle specifications through a single integrated structure. The multipurpose connector includes multiple connection terminals that can be selectively connected to different electrical components depending on the vehicle specification, allowing one wiring system to replace multiple dedicated wiring systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the multipurpose connector into multiple independent connection terminals, each capable of being selectively connected to different electrical components. This segmentation allows flexible configuration where certain terminals are connected to first electrical components while others are connected to second electrical components based on the required specification.
2Reliability
If dedicated wiring members are used for each electrical component type, then connection reliability is ensured, but the number of wiring members increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by combining multiple dedicated wiring members into a single multipurpose wiring member. This integrated structure maintains reliable connections by providing dedicated connection terminals for different electrical component types within the same wiring member, reducing the total quantity of wiring members while ensuring connection reliability.
3Ease of operation
If the multipurpose wiring member is easily detachable, then installation and removal are simple, but connection stability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by designing the multipurpose wiring member with selective detachability. The wiring member can be easily detached from the vehicle body for installation and removal operations, while maintaining stable and reliable connections when installed. This dynamic characteristic allows the wiring member to transition between easily installable/removable and stably connected states.

AI summary
A wiring system includes a multipurpose wiring member including at least one multipurpose circuit and a multipurpose connector to which the multipurpose circuit is connected, the wiring system further exclusively including: a first purpose wiring member including a first purpose circuit and a first purpose connector to which the first purpose circuit is connected; and a second purpose wiring member including a second purpose circuit and a second purpose connector to which the second purpose circuit is connected. When the first purpose connector is connected to the multipurpose connector, the multipurpose circuit is connected to the first purpose circuit, and when the second purpose connector is connected to the multipurpose connector, the multipurpose circuit is connected to the second purpose circuit, and the multipurpose wiring member is attached to a vehicle in a state of being detached from the vehicle hardly.
