Solution Approach 1:

The shielding structure is divided into multiple segments: grounding part with grounding openings, first shielding part with first openings, second shielding part with second openings, and plastic core with third openings. Each segment has strategically placed openings that allow component assembly while maintaining overall shielding effectiveness through the layered configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding structure employs nested configuration where the first shielding part is disposed on the grounding part, the second shielding part is coupled to the first shielding part, and the plastic core is disposed in the first and second shielding parts. This nested arrangement allows openings at different levels to be positioned without compromising each other's shielding effectiveness.
