Removable Partition Connector Assembly for Serviceable Electronics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices do not allow for the separate removal of electrical connection components and attached electronic components during disposal, maintenance, or repair, which complicates sorting and replacement processes.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device design featuring a container with removable partition walls, through-holes, and detachable electrical connection components, first and second electronic components, enabling each component to be individually removed and reattached, with features like opening lids and sealing members for improved accessibility and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the electrical connection component and electronic components are fixed together in a non-removable manner, then the structural stability and electrical connectivity are improved, but the ease of repair and component replacement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separable components: the electrical connection component (3) can be detached from the container (2) and the electronic components (4, 5) can be separately removed from the electrical connection component. This segmentation allows maintenance without destroying the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical connection component transitions from a fixed state to a removable state through the first opening (2a3). The component can be dynamically inserted and extracted, allowing the system to adapt between operational stability and maintenance accessibility.
2Ease of repair
If all components are made removable for easy maintenance, then the ease of repair is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The container is divided into chambers separated by a partition wall (2a1), with the electrical connection component mounted on the partition wall. This segmentation provides structured removability without requiring complete disassembly of the entire device.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical connection component (3) serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connectivity between components, acts as a mounting structure, and enables removable access for maintenance. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components.
3Reliability
If the container is sealed for safety, then the explosion-proof performance is improved, but the ease of operation for component access deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The container is segmented with a removable lid (2b) that can be detached from the container body (2a). This allows the interior to remain sealed for safety during operation while providing access points for maintenance when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The first opening (2a3) in the partition wall acts as an intermediary access point, allowing the electrical connection component to be removed without requiring complete disassembly of the sealed container structure.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a container, a partition wall dividing a space within the container, a through-hole provided in the partition wall, an electrical connection component attached to the partition wall so as to be removable from the container and having an insertion portion inserted into the through-hole, a first electronic component attachable to the electrical connection component on one side of the partition wall so as to be removable from the container, and a second electronic component attachable to the electrical connection component on another side of the partition wall so as to be removable from the container. The first electronic component and the second electronic component can be electrically connected to each other via the electrical connection component by each being attached to the electrical connection component.
