Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cable ties are non-reusable, requiring replacement and cutting when cables need to be re-wired or re-arranged, which is costly and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A reusable cable buckle assembly with detachable connections between the cable buckle and base, allowing for easy opening and closing of the bundle space, featuring fixed or movable types of buckles and bases for flexible use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional cable tie with ratchet teeth and inverted teeth is used to bind cables, then the cable binding function is achieved, but the cable tie cannot be removed and must be cut and replaced for re-wiring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecable binding reliabilityVSAvoidcable re-wiring convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The cable buckle assembly is divided into separate components: a buckle body with releasing structure and a base with positioning structure. This segmentation allows the buckle to be detached from the base for cable re-wiring while maintaining secure binding when assembled, resolving the contradiction between binding reliability and re-wiring convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The buckle body incorporates a releasing structure that enables dynamic transition between locked and unlocked states. When the releasing structure is actuated, the buckle can be detached from the base positioning structure, allowing cable re-wiring without cutting, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining binding reliability when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If a conventional cable tie is used, then cable binding is achieved, but construction time and cost increase when cables need to be re-wired or replaced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecable binding functionVSAvoidconstruction time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The reusable cable buckle assembly allows the buckle body to be detached from the base, enabling cable replacement while recovering and reusing the buckle and base components. This eliminates the need to discard and replace entire cable ties, significantly reducing construction time and material cost while maintaining binding reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed type cable buckle and base are used, then stable cable binding is achieved, but flexibility and application scope are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecable binding stabilityVSAvoidconnection flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The buckle body with releasing structure can be assembled with different base positioning structures, creating universal compatibility across fixed and movable configurations. This multi-functionality allows the same buckle design to serve various application scenarios, enhancing adaptability and versatility while maintaining binding stability through consistent locking mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A reusable cable buckle assembly includes a detachable connection cable buckle and a base, a bundle space is provided between the cable buckle and the base for bundle the cables. The cable buckle is a fixed type cable buckle or a movable type cable buckle. And the base is a fixed type base or a movable type base. The reusable cable buckle assembly realizes the opening or closing of the bundle space through the detachable connection of the cable buckle and the base, thereby realizes the reusable of the cable buckle, and greatly reducing the construction time and cost.
