Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electrical wires are connected in a specific position on a sheet-like structure, then the connection reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for additional connection components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the connection function directly into the sheet-like structure by forming holes through the sheet at specific positions. This eliminates the need for separate connection components, as the holes themselves serve as the connection interface for core wires, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining connection reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The holes formed in the sheet act as intermediaries that facilitate the connection between core wires. Instead of using complex connection components, the holes provide a simple intermediary structure that enables reliable wire connection while keeping the overall device simple
2Reliability
If connection components are added to connect electrical wires, then the connection reliability is improved, but the thickness of the wiring member increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection function is merged into the sheet structure itself through the formation of holes. This eliminates the need for additional connection components that would increase thickness, allowing reliable wire connections to be made while maintaining a compact, thin wiring member profile
3Reliability
If additional connection components are used, then the connection reliability is improved, but the number of parts increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the connection function with the sheet-like structure by forming holes through it. This integration eliminates the need for separate connection components, thereby reducing the total number of parts while ensuring reliable electrical wire connections
Solution Approach 2:
The sheet-like structure serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, defines the form factor, and through the formed holes, enables wire connections. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, decreasing the overall part count
4Length of stationary object
If the wiring member is made thinner, then the compactness is improved, but the risk of short circuits increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing insulation cover parts at specific locations where core wires connect through the holes. This localized insulation protection addresses the short circuit risk only where it is needed, allowing the overall wiring member to remain thin while maintaining safety

AI summary
A wiring member includes: at least one first cover wire; at least one second cover wire; and a first sheet to which at least the first cover wire is fixed. A first hole is formed in the first sheet. A connection part where a core wire of the first cover wire and a core wire of the second cover wire are connected is located in a region where the first hole is formed.
