Slide Fastener Pull with Embedded Electronic Component
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for embedding electronic components in clothing accessories like slide fasteners, such as injection molding, often damage the antenna parts due to heat, affecting the component's functionality.
Innovation Solution
A pull for a slide fastener is designed with a ring part, an insertion part, and a handle part formed sequentially by injection material, where the electronic component is mounted inside the handle part after the material has cooled and stabilized, preventing damage from the molding process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the electronic component is embedded in the clothing accessories by the injection molding process, then the product aesthetic is improved, but the antenna part may be easily damaged by the heat of the injection material
Solution Approach 1:
The pull is divided into multiple parts: ring part, insertion part, and handle part. The electronic component is embedded only in the handle part through injection molding, while the ring part and insertion part remain separate. This segmentation allows the electronic component to be protected from heat damage in regions where it is not needed, while still achieving aesthetic embedding where required.
Solution Approach 2:
The ring part and insertion part are prepared and positioned before the injection molding process. The electronic component is pre-placed in the handle part mold cavity before injection material is introduced. This preliminary preparation ensures that the electronic component is not exposed to high temperatures during the molding of other parts, preventing heat damage while maintaining aesthetic integration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic component is embedded inside the clothing accessories, then the application of the clothing accessories is increased, but the antenna part may be easily damaged by the heat of the injection material
Solution Approach 1:
The pull is segmented into functional zones: the handle part contains the electronic component for enhanced functionality, while the ring part and insertion part maintain traditional structural roles. This segmentation preserves the reliability of the electronic component by isolating it from heat-prone areas while still enabling expanded applications through the embedded electronics in the handle part.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle part acts as an intermediary structure that houses the electronic component. The injection molding process is applied specifically to the handle part with controlled parameters, using the mold cavity as an intermediary protective environment that shields the electronic component from excessive heat while still allowing aesthetic embedding and enhanced functionality.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the electronic component is embedded in the clothing accessories by the injection molding process, then the electronic component is integrated into the structure, but the antenna part may be easily damaged by the heat of the injection material
Solution Approach 1:
The pull structure is segmented into distinct parts with the electronic component integrated only in the handle part through injection molding. The ring part and insertion part are kept separate or use alternative joining methods. This segmentation achieves stable integration of the electronic component where needed while avoiding heat exposure in other regions, maintaining both structural stability and component integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The injection molding process is applied locally only to the handle part containing the electronic component, with controlled temperature and pressure parameters specific to that region. The ring part and insertion part are processed separately or with different methods. This local quality approach ensures stable integration of the electronic component in the handle part while preventing heat damage to the antenna in regions where injection molding is not applied or is applied with modified parameters.
