Reconfigurable Input Housing Layout for Power Unit Wiring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing power unit designs have a fixed arrangement for the draw-in part, which restricts its placement according to the type of working unit, limiting versatility and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The power unit is configured with an input unit housing that can be selectively fixed to the body housing in various arrangements, allowing the draw-in part to be positioned suitably based on the type of working unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the draw-in part is fixed in a specific arrangement to the base, then the structure is simple and stable, but the draw-in part cannot be placed in a suitable arrangement according to the type of working unit
Solution Approach 1:
The input unit housing is designed with multiple fixing positions on the body housing, allowing the draw-in part to be dynamically repositioned according to different working unit types. The fixing part enables selective attachment at various locations, transforming a static fixed arrangement into a dynamic configurable system that adapts to different operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing mechanism is segmented into multiple discrete fixing positions and corresponding fixing parts distributed at different locations on the body housing. This segmentation allows the input unit housing to be selectively attached at different positions, providing versatility while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular fixing elements.
2Ease of operation
If the input unit housing is configured to be fixed selectively in multiple arrangements, then the draw-in part can be optimally arranged for different working units, but the fixing mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing part is designed to enable simple selective fixation of the input unit housing at different positions on the body housing. The mechanism allows operators to easily reposition the draw-in part according to different working unit types without requiring complex tools or procedures, making the system self-configurable through straightforward attachment and detachment operations.

AI summary
A power unit may include: a prime mover; a body housing supporting the prime mover, and an input unit configured to control the prime mover. The input unit may include: an input unit housing having an internal space and comprising a draw-in part configured to draw in the wire from outside the input unit housing into the internal space; and a fixing part configured to fix the input unit housing to the body housing. The input unit housing may be configured to be fixed to the body housing selectively in any arrangement among at least two arrangements.
