Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional connector design without positioning features is used, then the connector structure remains simple, but the connector cannot be correctly positioned on the circuit board leading to assembly errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces asymmetric positioning features including a cutting part on the fixing part and positioning protrusions that create a unique orientation for the connector on the circuit board. This asymmetric design ensures the connector can only be assembled in the correct direction, eliminating positioning errors while maintaining relatively simple structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning features (cutting part, positioning protrusions) are pre-formed on the connector during manufacturing, enabling automatic positioning during assembly without requiring additional positioning steps or complex adjustment mechanisms during the assembly process.
2Reliability
If traditional connector design without grounding is used, then the connector structure remains simple, but noise and electrostatic interference cannot be discharged creating safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The grounding part is integrated into the connector structure, serving multiple functions: providing a grounding path for electrical safety, dissipating electrostatic discharge, and shielding against noise interference. This multi-functional design enhances reliability without requiring separate grounding components or complex additional structures.
3Manufacturing precision
If positioning features are added to the connector, then positioning precision improves, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning features (cutting part, positioning protrusions) are pre-formed on the connector during manufacturing, enabling automatic positioning during assembly without requiring additional positioning steps or complex adjustment mechanisms during the assembly process.

AI summary
A positioning and grounding structure for ring connectors. A cutting part is formed by cutting one side of the ring connector. The connecting base has a grounding part. Using the relative position between the grounding part and the electrical connecting part as well as the cutting part for double positioning, the ring connector can be quickly fixed on a circuit board. The grounding part can quickly connect noises or electrostatics to the ground. The structure solves the problem of connectors in the prior art that lacks positioning and grounding designs. The provided ring connector can quickly position and ground.
