Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If damaged NEMA 5-15 electric sockets are not replaced, then existing electrical connections remain in place, but electrical connectivity and safety are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter is divided into distinct functional segments: a housing component, multiple replaceable NEMA 5-15 electric sockets, and a cable assembly. This segmentation allows individual sockets to be replaced independently while maintaining the overall adapter structure, facilitating easy repair of damaged sockets without replacing the entire electrical connection system.
2Ease of repair
If a comprehensive repair kit is provided, then all necessary components for socket replacement are available, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple essential repair components into a single integrated adapter unit. The housing, multiple NEMA 5-15 electric sockets, and cable assembly are merged into one cohesive device that provides complete socket replacement functionality. This merging simplifies the repair process by eliminating the need for separate purchases of housing, sockets, and cable assemblies.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapter is designed with multi-functionality to serve various repair needs. It includes multiple NEMA 5-15 electric sockets that can replace different damaged sockets, and the housing structure accommodates various cable configurations. This universal design allows a single adapter kit to address multiple socket replacement scenarios without requiring different specialized components.
