Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wire connectors require processing both ends of electric wires into bare ends, which is time-consuming and reduces assembly efficiency and market competitiveness.

Innovation Solution

A wire connector design comprising a male and female base body with specific structural features such as hollow casings, latching rods, guide grooves, and conductive connecting plates that allow for quick connection without the need for bare ends, using pivoting shafts and pressing assistant portions for secure engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional wire connectors are used, then electrical connection is achieved, but wire ends must be processed into bare ends which is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidtime for wire end processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The connector is divided into two separate base bodies (male and female) that can be assembled independently with wires still covered, eliminating the need to expose wire ends. Each base body has its own connecting plates and structural features that enable connection without wire end processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base bodies are designed with integrated features that simultaneously provide electrical connection, mechanical connection, and insulation functions. The connecting plates with contact bumps and clip grooves create multiple connection points without requiring wire end preparation.

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

2Productivity

If wire ends are processed into bare ends, then proper electrical connection is ensured, but the assembling process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembling speedVSAvoidcomplexity of wire end processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connector structures (base bodies, connecting plates, contact bumps) are pre-configured during manufacturing to enable direct connection with covered wires. The clip grooves and contact bumps are positioned in advance to engage with the wire insulation and conductors without requiring field processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting plates act as intermediaries between the base bodies, providing contact bumps that engage with the wire insulation and conductors. This intermediary structure eliminates the need for direct wire end exposure while ensuring proper electrical and mechanical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of time

If quick connection is implemented without bare ends, then assembly efficiency improves, but connection reliability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime for wire connectionVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the connecting plates have specialized features: contact bumps for electrical contact, clip grooves for mechanical clamping, and reduced width sections for bending engagement. Each local area is optimized for its specific function, ensuring reliable connection without requiring wire end processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting plates incorporate bending points that allow dynamic adjustment during assembly. The plates can bend at specific points to engage with the wire and secure the connection, providing adaptability and reliability without rigid fixed-geometry constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
