Portable Radiographic Apparatus Wire Slot Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable radiographic image capturing apparatuses face challenges in securely laying out wires within limited spaces and preventing them from breaking or disconnecting due to deformation or external loads, which can occur during accidental drops or excessive external loads.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus incorporates support members with slot structures that house wires, featuring teeth made of elastic material with rounded corners to securely hold the wires in place without the need for clamps, reducing the risk of damage and dislodgment, and providing a shielding effect against noise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wires are laid out within the limited space in the casing using clamps, then wires can be secured in position, but the device complexity increases and space is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The support member integrates both the structural support function and the wire securing function into a single component. The slot structure formed by the support member housing directly secures wires without requiring separate clamps or fastening parts, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining wire security
Solution Approach 2:
The support member's slot structure automatically secures wires through its geometric configuration without requiring additional fixing parts. The wires are held in place by the slot's physical constraints alone, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for separate securing mechanisms
2Reliability
If traditional wire securing methods are used with clamps, then wires can be fixed, but the space required in the casing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support member combines structural support and wire positioning functions into one integrated component. The slot structure provides wire positioning capability within the support member itself, eliminating the need for separate clamps and reducing the space required in the casing
Solution Approach 2:
The wire securing function is extracted from separate clamps and integrated into the support member's slot structure. This extraction eliminates the need for additional space-consuming fixing parts while maintaining effective wire positioning
3Strength
If the casing is rigid to support external loads, then structural strength is improved, but the wires may still break or disconnect due to deformation under impact or excessive load
Solution Approach 1:
The slot structure provides a protective environment for wires before external impacts or excessive loads occur. By housing wires within the slot structure of the support member, the system prepares for potential deformations by already securing wires in a protected configuration that resists damage from future impacts or loads
Solution Approach 2:
The support member acts as an intermediary between the casing and the wires. It absorbs and distributes external forces through its slot structure, protecting wires from direct exposure to impact forces or deformation stresses that would otherwise cause wire breakage or disconnection
