Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electrical wiring methods require equipment like ladders for ceiling work, leading to inefficiencies and safety hazards, especially during renovations or maintenance, as wiring is buried in cement, making reconfiguration costly and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A wire distributor-combined tumbler switch device with a bracket assembly, switching-wire distributor module, and detachable coupling means allows for easy electric wire entry and distribution on a vertical wall, eliminating the need for ceiling-based equipment and enabling safer, more efficient wiring operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wiring is performed on the ceiling with pipes buried in cement, then the wiring structure is stable and protected, but the work requires ladders and equipment, reducing worker safety and increasing complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structure stabilityVSAvoidworker safety and operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions the wiring operation from the ceiling dimension to the wall dimension. The wire distributor is mounted on vertical walls at accessible heights, allowing workers to perform wiring tasks without ladders or ceiling access equipment, thereby improving safety while maintaining structural reliability through the wall-mounted distribution system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If wiring pipes are buried in cement layers, then the wiring structure is protected and stable, but renovation and reconfiguration become costly and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structure protectionVSAvoidrenovation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wiring system into modular components: the wire distributor unit mounted on walls, individual wire channels, and connection points. This segmentation allows specific sections to be accessed, modified, or replaced without affecting the entire wiring structure, enabling convenient renovation while maintaining overall structural protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wire distributor incorporates dynamic accessibility features, allowing wires to be added, removed, or reconfigured at wall-mounted distribution points without requiring demolition of cement layers. This dynamic design enables flexible renovation while the embedded wall structure provides continued protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If power lines are arranged along the central portion of the ceiling, then the wiring follows the building structure, but material is wasted unnecessarily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structure alignmentVSAvoidpower line material waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent relocates the wiring path from the horizontal ceiling plane to the vertical wall plane. The wire distributor mounted on walls allows power lines to follow vertical and horizontal wall surfaces more efficiently, reducing unnecessary material usage while maintaining alignment with the building's structural framework

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
