Strip-Shaped Net Limiting Member for Wire Lead Entanglement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Transmission wire leads tend to entwine with each other after extended use due to external forces, requiring frequent untwisting and reconnection to maintain a neat working setting.
Innovation Solution
A strip-shaped net is used to wrap a predetermined range of leads, combined with a limiting medium and adhesive tape, and molded into a limiting member to provide orientational constraint, preventing entwining by maintaining independent extension and juxtaposition of the leads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If transmission wire leads are left free without constraint, then ease of connection is improved, but the leads entwine with each other after extended use
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting member is divided into a limiting portion that wraps around individual leads and a connecting portion that links them together. This segmentation allows each lead to be independently constrained while maintaining their relative positions, preventing entanglement without completely restricting movement for connection purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting member acts as an intermediary structure between the leads and the external environment. It provides a mediating constraint that maintains lead arrangement stability while still allowing the leads to be connected to objects, resolving the contradiction between freedom of movement and positional stability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a limiting member is used to wrap leads, then lead entanglement is prevented, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting member is designed as a flexible strip-shaped structure that can wrap around and conform to the leads. This thin-film approach provides the necessary constraining function without adding bulky or complex structural elements, maintaining simplicity while achieving lead arrangement stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting member combines multiple functions into a single structure: it constrains individual leads through the limiting portion and maintains their relative positions through the connecting portion. This merging of functions reduces the number of separate components needed, thereby reducing overall device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively prevents the transmission wire leads from entwining, ensuring they remain untwisted and securely connected, enhancing the operational efficiency and tidiness of the working setting.
Implementation Method 1
allowing the limiting member to permeate into the limiting medium through holes in the strip-shaped net and integrating the limiting member and the limiting medium as a unity
Implementation Method 2
adhering an adhesive tape to a start end of the strip-shaped net wrapping an outer periphery of the limiting medium so as to provide orientational constraint to the start end of the strip-shaped net

AI summary
A method and a structure for positioning and wrapping wire leads involve providing two leads of a transmission wire for transmitting power and/or signal with appropriate orientational limit therebetween by: wrapping a predetermined range of the two leads extending from a predetermined object with one or more segments of strip-shaped net for orientational limit that maintain independent extension and juxtaposition of the two leads, so as to prevent the leads of the transmission wire from entwining with each other after frequent orientational change caused by an external force.
