Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional coaxial cable stripping tools are inconvenient to use due to fixed blades and laborious adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to easily remove outer layers of coaxial cables for electrical connections.
Innovation Solution
A stripping tool with an exchangeable tool holder, adjustable fixing member, elastic element, and Velcro hook and loop strip, allowing for easy replacement of blades and adjustment of opening size for efficient removal of coaxial cable outer layers, facilitating user-friendly operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the blade is fixedly connected with the body, then the structure is simple and stable, but the blade is not easy to replace requiring disassembly of the body
Solution Approach 1:
The tool is divided into separable components: a body, an exchangeable tool holder, and replaceable blades. The tool holder can be detached from the body and the blades can be replaced on the tool holder, allowing easy blade replacement without disassembling the entire tool body.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing member is designed to be movable within the body, allowing dynamic adjustment of the opening size by pulling it to separate from the body. This enables the opening to adapt to different cable diameters while maintaining a simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the opening size is adjusted by pulling the fixing member to separate it from the body, then the opening can be adjusted, but the operation is inconvenient and laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing member is designed to be movable within the body along a sliding path, allowing the opening size to be adjusted by simply pulling the fixing member. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables easy adaptation to different cable diameters without complex operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The opening size parameter can be changed by moving the fixing member to different positions. The elastic element provides restoring force to maintain the fixing member at different positions, enabling continuous adjustment of the opening size to match different cable diameters.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a single blade configuration is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate different cable diameters and types
Solution Approach 1:
The exchangeable tool holder is designed to accommodate different blade configurations and can be attached to the same body. By replacing the tool holder with different ones, the tool can handle different cable diameters and types, achieving multi-functionality without increasing the basic body structure complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The blade system is segmented into replaceable components mounted on exchangeable tool holders. This allows users to select appropriate tool holders with suitable blade configurations for different cable types, providing versatility while keeping each individual blade simple in structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and efficient removal of coaxial cable outer layers with adjustable blade lengths and user-friendly operation, accommodating different cable diameters and types, improving usability and convenience.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic element is connected with the fixing member to provide an elastic force to the fixing member. The fixing member is driven by the elastic force to work with the first blade to hold the cable when the cable is placed in the opening

AI summary
A stripping tool includes a body, an exchangeable tool holder, a first blade, a fixing member, and an elastic element. The exchangeable tool holder is disposed in the hole. The exchangeable tool holder has a first side disposed with a first recess. The first blade is connected with the exchangeable tool holder, and the first blade has at least one portion protruded out of the first recess. The fixing member is movably disposed in the body and includes a recess portion and a pressing end. The recess portion is located in the hole to correspond to the first recess and to form an opening along with the first recess, and the pressing end is provided for the user to move the fixing member to adjust the aperture of the opening. The elastic element is connected with the fixing member to provide an elastic force to the fixing member.
