Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electrical wiring in apartment houses requires technicians to work at heights, leading to inconvenience and inefficiency, as connection points are typically on ceilings, necessitating ladder use and resulting in material waste due to wire arrangement along ceilings.

Innovation Solution

An electrical wiring structure with connection points arranged on side walls, where power and light wires are embedded in conduits within the concrete base or ceiling, allowing for joint boxes to be installed on side walls, reducing the need for ceiling-mounted connections and minimizing material usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If connection points are arranged on the ceiling, then electrical wiring can be constructed following conventional methods, but technicians must work at heights requiring ladder use which reduces work safety and efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework convenienceVSAvoidwork safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent relocates connection points from the ceiling (vertical dimension) to the side walls (horizontal dimension), changing the spatial arrangement of electrical components. This dimensional shift allows technicians to perform wiring operations at ground level or lower heights, eliminating the need for ladders and improving both safety and operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of manufacture

If power wires are arranged along the ceiling center, then conventional wiring paths are followed, but unnecessary material waste occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring constructionVSAvoidwire material
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent shifts the wiring path from the ceiling center (vertical plane) to along the side walls (horizontal plane), creating a more efficient routing path. This dimensional change in wire arrangement reduces the total length of wire required while still achieving proper electrical connections, thereby reducing material waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Stability of the object's composition

If joint boxes are embedded in the ceiling, then conventional electrical wiring structures are maintained, but maintenance becomes inconvenient requiring gypsum board removal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structureVSAvoidmaintenance accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent relocates joint boxes from the ceiling (vertical position) to the side walls (horizontal position). This spatial relocation maintains the structural integrity of the ceiling while making joint boxes easily accessible for maintenance through the side walls, eliminating the need to remove gypsum boards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Ease of operation

If technicians work in teams of two for ceiling wiring operations, then connection tasks can be completed, but labor efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation feasibilityVSAvoidlabor efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By moving connection points and joint boxes from the ceiling to the side walls, the patent enables single-technician operations at ground level. This eliminates the need for two-person teams required for ceiling work, thereby improving labor efficiency and productivity while maintaining operational feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
