Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional welding methods are used to connect the electrical conductive member to the circuit board, then reliable electrical connection can be achieved, but labor costs increase and assembly efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the welding process (thermal/mechanical system) with a mechanical pressing connection system. The electrical conductive member is connected to the circuit board through direct mechanical contact and pressing force, eliminating the need for welding equipment and skilled welding operations while maintaining reliable electrical connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical conductive member is designed with self-positioning features including positioning holes and positioning columns that automatically align and secure the component during assembly. The pressing structure provides self-contained electrical connection through direct contact, eliminating the need for external welding operations.
2Reliability
If manual welding operations are performed, then electrical connections can be established, but defect rates increase and quality stability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates manual welding operations by using a mechanical pressing connection system. The electrical conductive member connects to the circuit board through direct mechanical contact with pressing structures, removing the variables associated with manual welding skill and reducing defects such as faulty welding and false welding.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing structure acts as an intermediary mechanism that ensures consistent and reliable electrical connection without requiring welding. The positioning structures (positioning holes and positioning columns) serve as intermediaries to ensure precise alignment and stable connection, eliminating quality variability.
3Reliability
If welding processes are used during production, then electrical connections are established, but production complexity increases and automation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex welding processes with simple mechanical pressing operations. The holder assembly integrates positioning structures and pressing mechanisms that can be easily automated, significantly reducing production process complexity while maintaining reliable electrical connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple functions into the holder assembly structure itself. The holder integrates positioning columns, pressing structures, and electrical connection features into a single unified component, simplifying the overall assembly process and enabling easy automation.

AI summary
A holder assembly includes: a holder; an electrical conductive member; a connection structure; and a positioning structure. The positioning structure and the connection structure are arranged on the holder and the electrical conductive member. The electrical conductive member is mounted and positioned on the holder through the positioning structure, is connected and fixed to the holder through the connection structure, and is in conductive connection to, through contact, a circuit board mounted into the holder.
