Wire Harness Busbar Bracket Assembly for Reliable Unit Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic component units face challenges in improving the workability of connection work between units, such as the connection units, which affects the efficiency and reliability of electrical connections in applications like vehicle wiring harnesses.
Innovation Solution
The electronic component unit includes a connection unit with a first connection terminal and casing, a second electronic unit with a second connection terminal and casing, and a busbar that connects both, along with an insulating bracket featuring recessed parts and ports for secure electrical connections, enhancing the mounting and electrical connectivity of the units via protrusion parts and contact members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional connection methods are used between electronic component units, then the structure is simple, but the workability of connection work is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a bracket as an intermediary component that mediates the connection between electronic component units. The bracket includes connection ports that receive protrusion parts from connection terminals, providing a standardized interface that improves connection workability while maintaining structural organization
Solution Approach 2:
The connection system is segmented into distinct functional components: connection terminals with protrusion parts, a bracket with connection ports, and busbars. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and assembled through standardized interfaces, improving ease of operation
2Reliability
If connection terminals are directly connected without a bracket, then the structure is simple, but the reliability of electrical connection is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket serves as a mediator that ensures reliable electrical connection by providing structured support and precise positioning for connection terminals. The connection ports guide the protrusion parts into proper alignment with busbars, ensuring consistent and reliable electrical contact
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is pre-configured with connection ports at specific positions and orientations before assembly. This preliminary arrangement ensures that when connection terminals are installed, their protrusion parts automatically align with the correct connection points on the busbars, ensuring reliable connection

AI summary
An electronic component unit includes: a connection unit that includes a first connection terminal and a first casing; a first electronic unit that includes a second connection terminal and a second casing; a busbar that electrically connects the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal; and an insulating bracket that includes a recessed part where the busbar is placed, a first connection port, and a second connection port. The first connection terminal includes a first protrusion part 11b that protrudes from the first casing, and is electrically connected to the busbar and mounted to the bracket by being inserted into the first connection port. The second connection terminal includes a second protrusion part that protrudes from the second casing, and is electrically connected to the busbar and mounted to the bracket by being inserted into the second connection port.
