Solution Overview

Problem

In prior art welding technology, the solder is prone to falling off from the welding base, especially during vibrations or when the coaxial cable is pulled, resulting in a weak and unreliable connection between the aluminum welding base and the coaxial cable.

Innovation Solution

A welding base with a limiting member inside the welding groove that prevents the solder and the to-be-welded member from loosening, ensuring a strong and reliable connection by clamping the cooled solder in place.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If copper coating is applied to the welding groove of the aluminum welding base, then the connection strength between the aluminum base and coaxial cable is improved, but the vibration resistance and tensile strength remain weak, causing the coaxial cable to fall off under large vibration or hard pulling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidvibration resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The welding groove is segmented into multiple levels through the addition of a limiting member, creating a first welding groove and a second welding groove at different heights. This segmentation allows the solder to be retained in the lower groove while the limiting member prevents it from falling into the lower groove, thereby improving both connection strength and vibration resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The limiting member acts as an intermediary element between the solder and the welding groove. It physically blocks the solder from falling out of the welding groove under vibration or tensile load, thereby enhancing the reliability and vibration resistance of the welding joint without compromising the connection strength provided by the copper coating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional welding without limiting member is used, then the welding process is simple, but the solder is easy to fall off from the welding groove when subjected to vibration or tensile force

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The welding groove is segmented into multiple levels through the addition of a limiting member, creating a first welding groove and a second welding groove at different heights. This segmentation allows the solder to be retained in the lower groove while the limiting member prevents it from falling into the lower groove, thereby improving both connection strength and vibration resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The limiting member is pre-installed in the welding groove before the soldering process. This preliminary action ensures that when the solder is applied and subsequently subjected to vibration or tensile force, the limiting member is already in place to prevent the solder from falling out, thereby improving welding joint strength without significantly complicating the manufacturing process.

AI summary

The disclosure relates to the field of welding technology. A welding base includes a welding groove defined therein. A limiting member is arranged inside the welding groove for preventing solder and to-be-welded member from loosening from the welding groove after the to-be-welded member is welded to the welding joint. Based on the prior art welding base, the inside of the welding groove of the present disclosure is provided with a limiting member, which can prevent the solder from a longitudinal movement, thus preventing the solder from falling off the welding groove.
