Solution Overview
Problem
During transportation, removable parts of electronic devices often need to be securely fixed to prevent impact and malfunction, but existing solutions fail to ensure the cable is not accidentally energized, leading to potential damage and user safety issues.
Innovation Solution
A shipping component comprising a locking mechanism, wire clamping component, and flexible buffer component that clamps and locks cables, ensuring the removable part is securely fixed to the fixed component and preventing cable energization until the shipping component is removed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the removable component is fixed to the fixed component during transportation, then the stability of the electronic device is improved, but the cable may be accidentally energized causing damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the cable clamping function with the locking component that secures the removable part. The same component that locks the removable part to the fixed part also clamps the cable, ensuring that the cable cannot be energized unless the removable part is properly removed. This merging of functions resolves the contradiction by making the stabilization mechanism itself the protection mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking component acts as an intermediary between the removable component and the cable. It physically connects these elements and uses its structure (including the buffer component and wire clamping part) to prevent the cable from being energized during transportation, thereby mediating between the need for stability and the need to prevent harmful energization.
2Reliability
If a locking mechanism is used to secure the removable component, then the reliability of transportation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking component is designed as a multi-functional element that simultaneously performs multiple tasks: locking the removable component to the fixed component, clamping the cable, and preventing cable energization. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby maintaining reliability while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire clamping component is sleeved on the locking component, creating a nested structure. The buffer component is positioned within the locking mechanism, and the wire clamping part is integrated into the wire locking body. This nesting allows multiple functions to be compactly arranged, reducing overall complexity while maintaining reliability.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the cable is clamped to the locking component, then the cable protection is improved, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking component includes a buffer component that can move or deform dynamically. This dynamic element allows the locking mechanism to be secure during transportation but becomes easier to operate when needed, as the buffer can absorb force during the removal process, making it easier to release the cable and unlock the removable component.

AI summary
Provided are an electronic device and a shipping component. The electronic device includes a fixed component (60), a removable component (70) removably connected to the fixed component, and a cable (50). The shipping component includes a locking component (30), a wire clamping component (10) sleeved on the locking component, and a fixing component (20). The wire clamping component is provided with a wire clamping part (11) for clamping and locking the cable. The locking component may penetrate through the fixed component and be locked and connected to the removable component, and the fixing component may limit the distance between the fixed component and the removable component. The removable component may be locked and connected to the fixed component by the shipping component, the cable of the electronic device is synchronously clamped to the shipping component, and the cable cannot be used and electrified when the shipping component is not removed.
