Slidable Mismatch-Proof Structure for Universal Power Supply Box
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing diversity in power supply specifications for electronic products requires multiple power supply boxes, leading to inefficiencies and increased manufacturing costs due to the need for separate designs for DC and AC power supplies.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a slidable member and mismatch-proof structure that adjusts positions within a power supply box, allowing for the accommodation of different power supply types by matching the mismatch-proof structure with corresponding recesses, enabling the device to support various specifications without requiring multiple power supply boxes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple power supply boxes are manufactured to correspond to different electronic products with different power supply specifications, then the electronic product can support diverse power supply types (DC and AC), but the device complexity and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply box is designed with a slidable member that can be positioned at different locations to accommodate different power supply specifications. The mismatch-proof structure includes a movable component that selectively engages with positioning structures at various positions, allowing a single power supply box to universally support both DC and AC power supplies without requiring multiple specialized boxes.
Solution Approach 2:
The mismatch-proof structure incorporates a slidable member that can dynamically change its position along the first side plate. This dynamic adjustment allows the power supply box to adapt its configuration based on the specific power supply type being installed, transitioning from a static design to a dynamically adjustable one that reduces the need for multiple fixed configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple power supply boxes are manufactured for different specifications, then compatibility with various power supplies is improved, but manufacturing costs and production efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a universal power supply box with an adjustable mismatch-proof structure, the manufacturing process no longer requires producing multiple specialized boxes for different power supply types. The single standardized box design with a slidable member that can be positioned at different locations streamlines production and reduces manufacturing complexity while maintaining compatibility with various power supplies.
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed mismatch-proof structure is used in the power supply box, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability to different power supply specifications is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mismatch-proof structure employs a slidable member that can move along the first side plate and lock into different positions using positioning structures. This dynamic element adds minimal complexity to the overall structure while enabling the power supply box to adapt to different specifications. The sliding mechanism maintains relative structural simplicity compared to completely redesigning multiple fixed configurations.

AI summary
A chassis includes an electronic device. The electronic device includes a box body, a fixed member, and a slidable member. The box body includes a first side plate. The first side plate includes a corresponding portion. The fixed member is fixed to the first side plate and includes a positioning structure. The slidable member is slidably arranged on the fixed member and includes a matching structure and a mismatch-proof structure. The mismatch-proof structure is arranged in the corresponding portion. The matching structure selectively matches the positioning structure to cause the mismatch-proof structure to be slidably arranged in the corresponding portion.
