Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air conditioner wiring systems are chaotic, leading to low production efficiency, jamming, and crimping issues during assembly and disassembly, making it difficult to connect wiring terminals effectively.
Innovation Solution
A wiring device with a first terminal assembly and a second terminal assembly, featuring sliding structures, guiding structures, and a mounting structure that facilitate easy connection and disconnection of wiring terminals without affecting the wiring holes, along with a protective cover plate for stability and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wires are placed in the electronic control box in a conventional manner, then the air conditioner can operate, but the production efficiency of plugging and closing the cover is very low due to chaotic wire arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
The wire management system is segmented into multiple wire storage slots and guide structures, dividing the chaotic space into organized sections. Each wire type has its designated storage location and routing path, transforming the undifferentiated wire mass into structured, manageable segments that can be efficiently assembled and disassembled.
2Ease of manufacture
If wires are arranged chaotically in the electronic control box, then installation is simple, but jamming and crimping phenomena occur easily, increasing quality hidden dangers
Solution Approach 1:
Wire guide structures and storage slots act as intermediary elements between the wires and the final assembled position. These intermediaries provide controlled pathways that prevent direct contact and potential damage between wires, eliminating jamming and crimping while maintaining installation simplicity through the guiding function.
3Ease of operation
If wiring terminals are used to organize wires, then wire management improves, but both ends of the wiring terminals are difficult to cooperate with each other, increasing mounting difficulties
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring terminals are pre-configured with matching connection structures during manufacturing. The male and female connectors are designed with complementary geometries and positioning features that ensure automatic alignment and easy engagement, eliminating the cooperation difficulties that would otherwise arise during assembly.
