Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrical equipment modules for vehicles face challenges in improving mountability due to complex routing and connectivity requirements, which affect assembly efficiency and space utilization.
Innovation Solution
The electrical equipment module includes a main line module with a routing body and branch portions, a retaining member, and a sub module connected through a communication control connector, allowing for efficient power distribution and communication, with a modular design that simplifies assembly and integrates air conditioning ducts for improved space management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a complex routing structure with multiple branch portions is used to accommodate different vehicle grades and variations, then the electrical equipment module can serve multiple configurations, but the mountability and assembly efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical equipment module is divided into a main line module and multiple sub modules that can be independently assembled. The main line module contains the routing body with branch portions, while sub modules are separately prepared and then connected, simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining adaptability to different vehicle configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The main line module is pre-assembled with the routing body and branch portions configured beforehand. This preliminary preparation allows the routing structure to be ready for connection, eliminating the need for complex on-site assembly during vehicle installation and improving mountability
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used for routing body, branch portions, and retaining members, then the system can be flexibly configured, but the number of components increases and assembly complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The main line module merges the routing body, branch portions, and retaining members into a single integrated assembly. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components that need to be handled and assembled, while the internal structure maintains the flexibility needed for different vehicle configurations
3Adaptability or versatility
If the routing body is routed along the vehicle width direction with multiple branch portions, then power distribution to multiple sub modules is achieved, but the space utilization and assembly efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The power distribution system is segmented into a main line module that handles primary power distribution and multiple sub modules that receive power through standardized connections. This segmentation allows each module to be assembled independently and then quickly connected, improving overall assembly efficiency while maintaining comprehensive power distribution capability

AI summary
An electrical equipment module includes a main line module that includes a main line routing body that is mounted on a vehicle and is routed along a width direction extending member in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle, a branch portion that is interposed in the main line routing body, and a branch portion retaining member that extends along the width direction extending member and retains the branch portion; and a sub module that is connected to the main line module through the branch portion and is subjected to power supply distribution through the main line routing body.
