Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing high-voltage electrical connection systems face challenges in precise positioning and assembly due to narrow structural dimensions, leading to potential electrical faults and breakdowns, especially when current strips are not correctly aligned within the lead-through electrode.
Innovation Solution
A multi-contact connection arrangement that allows adjustable radial distance between sockets using spacer elements, enabling axial and radial displacement of sockets relative to each other, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical connections by avoiding fixed attachment of current strips to the tubular electrode, and allowing flexible positioning within the lead-through electrode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If current strips are pulled out of the electrode to an accessible assembly location for connection, then the assembly process becomes accessible and controllable, but the current strips may remain outside the electrode during assembly, causing electrical faults or partial discharges
Solution Approach 1:
A guide structure acts as an intermediary between the accessible assembly location and the electrode interior. The guide has a first end at the accessible location and a second end extending into the electrode, providing a controlled path for current strips to follow during assembly. This ensures current strips remain properly positioned and connected while maintaining accessibility for assembly operations.
2Volume of stationary object
If the volume inside the lead-through electrode is made large enough to accommodate all current strips, then all current strips can be properly contained, but the structural dimensions become too narrow to allow accessibility or visual control of electrode and current strip positions
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly process is segmented into two distinct locations: an accessible assembly location outside the electrode where connection operations are performed, and the electrode interior where current strips are ultimately contained. The guide structure bridges these segments, allowing assembly to occur in the accessible location while ensuring proper positioning within the electrode, thus avoiding the need to increase electrode volume.
3Manufacturing precision
If additional external aids are used to guarantee precise positioning of electrodes and current strips, then positioning accuracy is improved, but the device complexity and assembly process become more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The guide structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides a physical path for current strips during assembly, maintains positioning accuracy, and enables visual control of the assembly process. By combining these functions into a single integrated component rather than using multiple separate aids, the solution achieves precise positioning without proportionally increasing device complexity.
