Solution Overview

Problem

The wireless communication module in existing power suppliers is prone to tilting, which affects communication functionality and can be easily hit by the power supplier's shell, leading to interference.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication module is spliced with a terminal module using connecting structures, such as convex and receiving holes, to create a solid assembly that prevents tilting and interference, allowing for secure and flexible integration with the power supplier's substrate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the wireless communication module is made as an independent component placed on the edge of the substrate, then it can be easily assembled and disassembled, but it becomes prone to tilting and can be easily hit by the power supplier's shell

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidmodule stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the wireless communication module with the terminal module by splicing them together using connecting structures (convex parts and receiving holes). This combination creates a more stable assembly that prevents tilting while maintaining ease of assembly through the modular connecting design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Device complexity

If the wireless communication module is placed independently on the substrate, then it simplifies the overall structure, but it becomes easy to tilt and interfere with other components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidmodule positioning stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless communication module is combined with the terminal module through splicing connecting structures, creating a stable integrated assembly that maintains simple overall structure while preventing tilting and component interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the wireless communication module is spliced with the terminal module using connecting structures, then it prevents tilting and improves stability, but it increases the complexity of the connecting structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodule stabilityVSAvoidconnecting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting structure is segmented into convex parts and receiving holes that can be independently designed and manufactured. This segmentation allows for standardized, simple individual components that combine to provide stable connection, balancing reliability with manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A power supplier (1) includes a substrate (11); at least one terminal module (12), configured to be placed on the substrate; and a wireless communication module (13), configured to be spliced with the terminal module. Therefore, the wireless communication module of the power supplier will be more solid and will not tilt easily.
