Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional shielding connection structures are used to butt two cables, then the cable assembly can be manufactured, but the shielding connection is unstable and ineffective, failing to ensure electromagnetic shielding between cable cores

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding connection structure is divided into multiple functional segments: a connection body for mechanical attachment, a shielding layer for electromagnetic shielding, and insulation layers for electrical isolation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, ensuring stable shielding connection while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested structure where the shielding layer is positioned within the connection body, and insulation layers are arranged both inside and outside the connection body. This nested arrangement ensures that the shielding connection is stable and effective while allowing for systematic manufacturing processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If the shielding net is wrapped around the cable core, then electromagnetic shielding is provided, but the connection between shielding nets of two cables at the butting position is unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding net connectionVSAvoidconnection strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the shielding net connection with a dedicated connection body structure. The shielding nets of two cables are both connected to the same connection body, creating a unified and stable shielding connection that enhances both reliability and connection strength at the cable butting position

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection body acts as an intermediary component that mediates the connection between the shielding nets of two cables. This intermediary structure provides a stable and strong connection point, ensuring that the shielding effectiveness is maintained while achieving reliable mechanical attachment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If insulation layers are added to protect the conductive device, then short-circuit prevention is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Insulation layers are applied locally at specific positions where short-circuit risks exist, such as inside the connection body and outside the connection body at the cable ends. This localized approach provides effective short-circuit prevention while minimizing the increase in device complexity by avoiding unnecessary insulation throughout the entire structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
