Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing quick power connection structures are limited by fixed cable arrangements and pin directions, restricting the flexibility and adaptability of cable positioning and deformation, which hinders the ability to adjust electrical facility positions and orientations as needed.
Innovation Solution
A cable design with multiple conductor layers around an axis, combined with conductive pins and an extrusion member, allows for power connection in any direction, using a limiting structure to secure pin placement and an insulator to prevent unwanted contact, and optionally incorporating core strips for shape stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If two cables are arranged side by side with conductive pins correspondingly arranged side by side, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the direction of piercing is fixed and the cables cannot be deformed at will
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional side-by-side arrangement to a three-dimensional radial arrangement where conductive pins are distributed around the circumference of the cable. This allows piercing operations to occur from multiple angular positions rather than being constrained to a single direction, enabling cable deformation and positioning flexibility while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a rotating mechanism that allows the cable or piercing device to rotate during the piercing process. This dynamic capability enables the system to adapt to different cable positions and orientations, allowing cables to be deformed and positioned as needed while maintaining the simple side-by-side manufacturing arrangement.
2Reliability
If the direction of piercing conductive pins is fixed to ensure reliable contact, then the piercing reliability is improved, but the positions of electrical facilities become fixed and cannot be adjusted to use needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a rotating mechanism that allows the piercing direction to be dynamically adjusted while maintaining reliable contact. The rotation capability enables electrical facilities to be positioned at different angular locations around the cable axis, providing adjustability without compromising the reliability of the power connection during the piercing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs the piercing system to perform multiple functions: it can pierce conductive pins at various angular positions, accommodate different cable deformations, and position electrical facilities flexibly. This multi-functional capability allows a single system to maintain reliable power connection while adapting to different positioning requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If cables are made flexible to enable deformation, then the cable flexibility is improved, but the cables cannot maintain stable shapes even when combined on stable members
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a rotating mechanism that provides dynamic stability to flexible cables during deformation. The rotation allows the cable to maintain a stable angular position relative to the piercing direction while being deformed, enabling the cable to achieve and maintain desired shapes even when highly flexible.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of cable arrangement from fixed side-by-side to variable radial positions around the cable axis. This parameter change allows flexible cables to maintain stable shapes at different angular positions and deformation states, combining flexibility with shape stability.
