Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shielding devices require high labor costs for installation due to their complexity, typically needing two persons to assemble.
Innovation Solution
A shielding device design that allows for easy installation by a single person, featuring a bottom plate, sidewalls, a top cover, a front door, and a rear plate, with pre-installation mechanisms using elastic bolts and slots, and an electronic device connected through an input terminal, eliminating the need for assembling electrical components during installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional shielding device assembly methods are used, then structural stability is ensured, but installation complexity increases and labor costs rise
Solution Approach 1:
The shielding device is divided into modular components (bottom plate, sidewalls, top cover, front door, rear plate) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. Each component has standardized connection interfaces that simplify the assembly process while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
Connection structures such as slots and elastic bolts are pre-configured on the components during manufacturing. The bottom plate has pre-formed slots, and the sidewalls have pre-installed elastic bolts, allowing for quick and easy assembly without requiring complex on-site fabrication or adjustment.
2Reliability
If two persons are required for assembly, then proper alignment and connection are achieved, but labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic bolts automatically engage with the slots through their elastic deformation capability. When the sidewall is inserted into the bottom plate, the elastic bolt naturally deforms and locks into the slot without requiring manual alignment or additional fastening operations, enabling single-person assembly while maintaining reliable connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanism utilizes elastic deformation as a key parameter change. The elastic bolts change their physical state from undeformed to deformed during insertion, automatically achieving proper engagement and locking. This parameter change enables simple single-person operation while ensuring reliable assembly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If electrical components are assembled during installation, then functional completeness is achieved, but qualification requirements for installers increase
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device and input terminal are pre-connected during manufacturing before the product is shipped. The wire connecting the electronic device to the input terminal is pre-routed and secured, so that upon installation, the electrical connection is automatically established without requiring the installer to perform any electrical assembly tasks.
