Wire Connection Terminal Asymmetric Slope Guide
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wire connection terminals have a rectangular and regular configuration, making it difficult for operators to identify and accurately plug in conductive wires or contact pins by bare-handed touch, leading to inconvenience and increased risk of bending or twisting during replacement of internal circuit boards or electronic components.
Innovation Solution
The wire connection terminal structure features a seat body with a wire plug-in opening on its upper and lower sides, providing shielding, protection, and guiding effects, including a slope and a wire plug-in protection wall, which helps operators quickly locate and correctly insert conductive wires or contact pins, preventing deviation and deformation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the seat body has a rectangular and regular configuration, then the manufacturing is simple and cost-effective, but it is hard for operators to identify the position of the wire plug-in opening by bare-handed touch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by forming a slope on one end of the seat body, creating an asymmetric configuration that distinguishes the wire plug-in opening position. This asymmetric slope structure allows operators to easily identify and locate the plug-in opening by touch, while the overall seat body maintains a simple rectangular form for ease of manufacture.
2Device complexity
If the seat body has a regular rectangular configuration, then the structural design is simple, but it is uneasy for operators to aim and plug in the conductive wire or contact pin accurately
Solution Approach 1:
The asymmetric slope structure is introduced on one end of the otherwise simple rectangular seat body. This localized asymmetric feature provides tactile guidance for accurate positioning of the conductive wire or contact pin, while the rest of the seat body maintains structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The slope acts as an intermediary guiding structure between the operator's tactile interaction and the wire plug-in opening. It mediates the plugging operation by providing a tactile reference that guides the conductive wire or contact pin into the correct position without requiring complex alignment mechanisms.
3Productivity
If operators plug in wires by touch into a regular rectangular seat body, then the replacement process can be quick, but the conductive wire or contact pin is often pressed against the outer wall and bent or twisted
Solution Approach 1:
The asymmetric slope structure prevents the conductive wire or contact pin from being pressed against the outer wall during insertion. The slope provides a guided insertion path that directs the wire into the opening at the correct angle, preventing bending and twisting that would occur with a regular rectangular configuration.

AI summary
A wire connection terminal structure includes a seat body (1) and a conductive clip (2) disposed therein. One end of the seat body (1) has an extending side (131) and a recessed side (132) and a slope (15) formed between the extending side (131) and the recessed side (132). The conductive clip (2) has a holding mouth. The slope (15) is formed with a wire plug-in opening (17) aligned with the holding mouth. A wire plug-in protection wall (18) is formed on an edge (151) of the recessed side (132). The wire plug-in protection wall (18) protrudes in a direction as an extending direction of the extending side (131). The slope (15) and the wire plug-in protection wall (18) define a recessed configuration on the end of the seat body (1). The wire plug-in protection wall (18) on the outer edge (151) of the wire plug-in opening (17) provides a shielding effect so that the conductive wire or contact pin can be easily aimed at and plugged into the wire plug-in opening (17).
