Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wiring systems for unit modules face challenges in efficiently integrating wiring with metal panels and brackets, leading to difficulties in inserting metal panels and attaching brackets to walls, resulting in increased costs and time for interior construction.

Innovation Solution

A wirable bracket with ribs and a space for wiring, allowing for easy connection and passage of wires between brackets, combined with a module coupling device that enables one-touch connection and decoupling of modules, facilitating the integration of signal lines and metal panels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a separate wiring duct is used for standardizing wiring, then wiring design and construction can be standardized, but it becomes difficult to insert metal panels and attach brackets to walls, increasing cost and time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestandardization of wiring designVSAvoidseparate wiring duct structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the wiring duct function with the bracket structure by integrating wiring spaces directly into the bracket body. The bracket includes built-in wiring spaces that can accommodate wires and connection terminals, eliminating the need for separate wiring ducts while maintaining standardized wiring design capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides structural support for mounting devices, incorporates wiring spaces for cable management, and includes connection terminals for electrical connections. This multi-functional design replaces the need for separate wiring ducts and simplifies installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of manufacture

If wiring is performed after interior materials are finished, then wiring can be standardized, but metal panels cannot be inserted in the bracket and separate work is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestandardized wiring processVSAvoidseparate work for metal panel insertion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket is pre-configured with wiring spaces and connection terminals during manufacturing, before installation occurs. This preliminary preparation allows wires to be routed and connected simultaneously with metal panel insertion, eliminating the need for separate wiring work after interior materials are finished.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If a traditional bracket structure is used, then bracket attachment is simple, but wire connection requires separate wiring duct and terminal blocks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket attachmentVSAvoidseparate wiring components
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the bracket structure with wiring spaces and connection terminals into a single integrated component. The bracket body includes recesses or cavities that accommodate wires, and connection terminals are mounted directly on the bracket, eliminating the need for separate wiring ducts and terminal blocks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
