Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional containers for electronic components require excessive space due to the need for wiring connections in multiple directions, hindering space-saving designs.
Innovation Solution
A container with a polygonal side wall and input-output terminals that penetrate through and are attached to two sides, utilizing an insulator and conductor for electrical continuity, allowing for compact design by reducing the need for perpendicular connections and increasing terminal density.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wiring lines are led out in three directions from the container to implement a multi-terminal structure, then the electrical connection capability is improved, but the space required both inside and outside the container increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the wiring direction from three-dimensional (leading out in three directions) to two-dimensional (leading out in one direction only). The input-output terminal structure is redesigned so that all wiring lines are led out through a single direction, eliminating the need to secure space in three directions around the container while maintaining multi-terminal electrical connection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple wiring lines into a single integrated input-output terminal structure. Instead of having separate connection points in three different directions, all electrical connections are consolidated into one terminal assembly that handles multiple signals through a single interface, reducing the overall space requirement.
2Ease of manufacture
If space is secured for connecting protruding shelf-like portion with lead terminal in three directions, then the electrical connection is achieved, but the container size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces the connection process from three-dimensional space requirements to two-dimensional plane connections. By consolidating all lead terminal connections to occur in one direction rather than three, the container size can be minimized while still accommodating the necessary electrical connection processes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If space is secured inside the container for bonding wire connections to protruding shelf-like portion, then the electrical connectivity is improved, but the internal space utilization decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent repositions the bonding wire connection points from internal three-dimensional space to external two-dimensional surface connections. By moving the connection interface outside the container, the internal volume is freed up for electronic components while electrical connectivity is maintained through external terminal connections.
