Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current building techniques require multiple site visits by installers due to fragmented work processes, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs, with prior art solutions not adequately addressing the need for flexible and efficient electrical wiring installations that can span multiple building layers.
Innovation Solution
A preassembled and predetermined electrical wiring assembly in a roll, featuring flexible cables and junctions made of water-impermeable and durable materials, designed for easy installation and adaptability, allowing for quick setup and reduced site visits, with the ability to be rolled out and integrated into building structures like cover floors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional fragmented installation methods are used, then installers can adapt to existing building structures, but the number of site visits increases and installation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical wiring assembly is preassembled with junctions and cables integrated into a housing structure before arrival at the building site. This preliminary preparation allows the entire assembly to be installed in a single site visit, eliminating the need for multiple visits required by traditional fragmented installation methods where conducts, sockets, and switches are installed separately at different times.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple electrical components (cables, junctions, sockets, switches) into a single integrated housing assembly. This merging of previously separate installation tasks into one unified preassembled unit enables the installer to complete all electrical wiring work in a single site visit, dramatically improving productivity and reducing time loss.
2Productivity
If preassembled wiring assemblies are used, then installation speed increases, but adaptability to different building layouts decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical wiring assembly is divided into modular components including a housing, multiple cables, junctions, and terminal devices that can be independently configured. This segmentation allows the assembly to be adapted to different building layouts while maintaining the benefit of preassembly, as each module can be positioned and connected according to specific building requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing and cable assembly incorporates flexible elements that allow dynamic adjustment during installation. The cables can be routed in different configurations, and the housing can be positioned at various locations, enabling the preassembled unit to adapt to different building layouts while still providing the speed advantage of preassembly.
3Manufacturing precision
If traditional installation methods are used, then detailed wiring configurations can be achieved, but material waste increases due to multiple site visits and adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The precise wiring configuration is established during the preassembly process in the factory, where cables can be precisely routed and connected under controlled conditions. This eliminates the need for on-site adjustments and rework that occur with traditional installation methods, thereby preventing material waste while maintaining high wiring configuration precision.
Solution Approach 2:
By combining all wiring components into a single preassembled unit with predetermined configurations, the patent eliminates the iterative process of installation and adjustment required by traditional methods. This merging approach ensures that materials are used efficiently with minimal waste, as the assembly is designed to fit the building requirements from the outset without requiring multiple visits for modifications.
4Adaptability or versatility
If flexible cables and junctions are used in preassembled units, then installation adaptability improves, but protection against water and mechanical damage decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is designed as a protective shell that encloses the flexible cables and junctions. This flexible housing provides mechanical protection and water resistance while still allowing the internal components to maintain their flexibility for adaptation during installation. The housing acts as a barrier that protects the vulnerable flexible elements without constraining their movement or routing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible cables and junctions are nested within the protective housing structure. This nesting arrangement allows the flexible components to maintain their adaptability for installation while being shielded by the outer housing from water and mechanical damage. The housing serves as a protective container that preserves the reliability of the nested flexible elements.
