Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wireless communication devices require cables for power supply and data connection, which are prone to tangling and accidental disconnection due to their unsightly and complex configuration.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication device design featuring a rotation module with a jack connector and a communication module with a plug connector, where the rotation module includes latching teeth and a limiting element to securely connect and align power and data pins, reducing the likelihood of cable entanglement and disconnection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cables are used for power supply and data connection, then electric power and data transmission can be achieved, but the cables become unsightly and easily tangle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines power supply and data transmission functions into a single integrated cable connection. The cable includes both power conductors and data conductors bundled together, allowing simultaneous power delivery and data communication through one unified interface rather than separate cables for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The single cable serves multiple functions simultaneously - it provides both electrical power supply and bidirectional data communication between the host device and storage device. This multi-functional cable replaces what would traditionally require separate power and data connections.
2Reliability
If cables are used for power supply and data connection, then electric power and data transmission can be achieved, but the risk of accidental disconnecting is high
Solution Approach 1:
By combining power and data connections into a single integrated cable assembly, the patent reduces the number of separate connection points from two (power and data) to one unified connection. This single connection point eliminates the risk of one connection becoming loose while another remains secure, as both functions share the same physical interface.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple connections are used for power and data, then functional requirements are met, but the configuration becomes complex and unsightly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple connection functions (power supply, bidirectional data transmission) into a single integrated cable interface. The connector design incorporates both power pins and data pins in one unified connection point, eliminating the need for separate power and data cables.
Solution Approach 2:
The single cable interface is designed to handle multiple functions simultaneously - it provides power delivery through dedicated conductors while also enabling bidirectional data communication through separate data conductors, all through one universal connection interface.

AI summary
A wireless communication device using a reduced cable set includes a power supply module, a rotation module, and a communication module. The rotation module includes jack connector with first power and data pins. The communication module is rotatably connected to the power supply module by the rotation module. The communication module includes a plug connector with second power and data pins. Each first power pin is connected to one second power pin to connect the power supply module and the communication module. Each first data pin is connected to one second data pin for transmitting data between the power supply module and the communication module.
