Innovation Solution
A quick electrical power connector system comprising a female and male connection member design that allows for easy and quick installation into existing electrical circuits, providing supplemental power without cutting existing wiring, featuring plug openings and prongs that connect with electrical contacts to extend the circuit's power supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional wire cutting and splicing methods are used to provide additional electrical power, then supplemental power can be added to the circuit, but the installation process becomes time-consuming and results in service interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is divided into separate male and female components that can be independently installed and connected, eliminating the need to cut existing wiring. The female connector attaches to the existing circuit while the male connector provides the supplemental power source, allowing for quick installation without service interruption.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector system acts as an intermediary device between the existing circuit and the supplemental power source. Instead of modifying the existing wiring directly, the connector provides a bridge that allows power addition without cutting or splicing, thus maintaining continuous service.
2Productivity
If traditional wire cutting and splicing methods are used to provide additional electrical power, then supplemental power can be added to the circuit, but connection reliability deteriorates due to faulty connections
Solution Approach 1:
The connector serves as a reliable intermediary that eliminates direct wire splicing. The male and female connectors are designed with complementary contact surfaces and locking mechanisms that ensure secure, fault-free connections without the risks associated with cutting and splicing wires.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector design includes self-aligning and self-securing features that ensure proper connection without requiring complex installation procedures. The contacts are designed to automatically engage and lock, reducing the risk of faulty connections.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing electrical wiring is cut and spliced to add power, then supplemental power sources can be connected, but the complexity of the installation process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into modular male and female connectors that can be independently installed. The female connector attaches to the existing circuit and the male connector connects the supplemental power source, simplifying the overall installation process while maintaining adaptability to various power sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector design provides universal adaptability to work with different power sources and circuit configurations. The standardized male and female connector interfaces can accommodate various supplemental power sources without requiring different installation methods, reducing installation complexity.

AI summary
A quick electrical power connector system has a female connection member, a forward section with electrical plug openings extending through the forward section and a rear section through which electrical wiring extends into and connects with electrical contacts within the plug openings. A male connection member has a forward section, a cavity, and electric prongs located within the cavity. The male connection member also has a second section located immediately adjacent to the forward section, the second section having side walls through which electrical wiring completely extends and connects with electrical contacts connected to the electric prongs. The male connection member is configured to be connected to the female connection member to provide supplemental electrical current to electrical circuitry. A second embodiment provides for a male connection member having two cavities, each with two electrical prongs for connection with two female connection members in electrical circuitry.
