Pull Tie Connector Anti-Touch Cover for False Unlock Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The passive part of existing pull tie connectors is exposed and prone to accidental release due to external forces, leading to false unlocking.
Innovation Solution
An anti-false-touch pull tie connector with an insulation body, sheathing case, lock component, and anti-touch cover that shields the passive part, preventing accidental release.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the passive part of the lock structure is directly exposed to the exterior for easy operation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to accidental external forces causing false unlocking
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-touch cover is nested within the insulation body, creating a protective enclosure for the passive part. The passive part remains accessible through a designed opening in the anti-touch cover, allowing operation while preventing accidental contact from external forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The anti-touch cover acts as an intermediary between the passive part and external forces. It allows intentional operation through its opening design while blocking accidental external forces, thus mediating between ease of operation and reliability requirements.
2Reliability
If the passive part is shielded by an anti-touch cover to prevent false touching, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-touch cover is integrated with the insulation body as a unified structure, reducing the need for separate protective components. This merging approach adds minimal complexity while achieving the reliability improvement of preventing false unlocking.
Solution Approach 2:
The anti-touch cover serves multiple functions: it protects the passive part from accidental external forces, maintains the insulation properties, and allows intentional operation through its opening. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
An anti-false-touch pull tie connector connected to a pull tie, includes: an insulation body having a conductive tongue piece; a sheathing case sheathing the insulation body; a lock component disposed in the insulation body and having a passive part, the passive part is connected to the pull tie; and an anti-false-touch structure disposed in the insulation body and having an anti-touch cover, the anti-touch cover correspondingly shields the passive part. Accordingly, an advantage of preventing the passive part from being falsely touched by an external force is provided, and a situation of being accidentally and falsely unlocked is avoided.
