Network Connector Cover Plate With Convexes And Holes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional network connectors face challenges in aligning twisted pairs from network cables due to their curved and unfixed direction, leading to unstable connections, increased construction time, and fragility of materials, making installation difficult and prone to damage.
Innovation Solution
A network connector structure featuring a signal terminal body with core holes and a cover plate with convexes and a concave design, where the convexes on the cover plate correspond to holes on the terminal body, forming a barrier to prevent wire exposure and compression, enhancing usability and protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If twisted pairs are manually separated and positioned in the multi-core slot, then connection stability can be improved, but construction time increases and operation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The network connector is designed with a multi-core slot that automatically guides and positions the twisted pairs through its structural features (guiding walls and positioning structures). The twisted pairs are self-aligned as they are inserted, eliminating the need for manual separation and positioning by the operator. This self-service mechanism maintains connection stability while dramatically reducing construction time and operational difficulty.
2Reliability
If manual alignment of twisted pairs is performed, then connection quality can be improved, but operation difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The multi-core slot acts as an intermediary structure between the twisted pairs and the connection points. It includes guiding walls and positioning structures that mediate the insertion process, automatically aligning the twisted pairs with the correct positions. This intermediary mechanism ensures high connection quality while requiring minimal skill from the operator, simply needing to insert the twisted pairs into the guided slot.
3Manufacturing precision
If the network connector material is made fragile for precision, then manufacturing precision can be improved, but strength decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The network connector is constructed using composite materials that combine precision-machined components (for accurate positioning and connection) with more robust structural elements (for strength and durability). The multi-core slot and its guiding features are precision-formed, while the overall connector housing uses stronger materials to prevent damage during installation and use, resolving the contradiction between precision and strength.
