Sheet-Sandwiched Wiring Member With Bendable Fixing Part
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques struggle to effectively fix two sheets sandwiching a plurality of electrical wires in a favorable manner.
Innovation Solution
A wiring member design featuring a wire-like transmission member sandwiched by two sheets, where one sheet includes a protruding fixing part and an easy bending part, allowing for easy bending and direct fusion without additional adhesives, facilitating secure fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If two sheets are used to sandwich a wire-like transmission member, then the wire can be protected and kept flat, but the sheets cannot be favorably fixed together
Solution Approach 1:
The first sheet is divided into three functional parts: a sandwiching part for holding the wire, a fixing part for attachment to the second sheet, and an easy bending part for flexibility. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function effectively, resolving the fixation stability issue while maintaining structural clarity
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the first sheet are given different properties: the sandwiching part has wire-holding capability, the fixing part has attachment functionality with protrusions, and the easy bending part has enhanced flexibility. This local differentiation enables reliable fixation without requiring the entire sheet structure to be complex
2Strength
If the first sheet is made rigid to maintain structure, then structural integrity is improved, but the sheet cannot be easily bent for fixation
Solution Approach 1:
The first sheet is segmented into a rigid sandwiching part for structural integrity and a flexible easy bending part for ease of operation. The easy bending part includes features like reduced thickness or folded structures that enable bending without compromising the overall structural integrity provided by the sandwiching part
Solution Approach 2:
The sheet has non-uniform properties: the sandwiching part maintains high rigidity for structural integrity, while the easy bending part has reduced rigidity (through thinner sections or folded structures) to enable easy bending during fixation operations
3Adaptability or versatility
If the sheets are kept at a distance to accommodate the wire, then wire transmission is enabled, but fixation stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing part protrudes laterally from the sandwiching part in a direction perpendicular to the wire transmission path. This lateral protrusion allows the sheets to be fixed together in a different dimension without interfering with the wire accommodation space between the sandwiching parts
Solution Approach 2:
The first sheet is segmented so that the fixing part is separated from the sandwiching part, allowing the fixing function to operate independently in a lateral direction while the sandwiching part maintains the required distance for wire transmission

AI summary
A wiring member includes a wire-like transmission member and a first sheet and a second sheet sandwiching the wire-like transmission member. The first sheet includes a sandwiching part sandwiching the wire-like transmission member with the second sheet and a fixing part protruding to a lateral side of the wire-like transmission member from the sandwiching part to be fixed to the second sheet. The first sheet and the second sheet are closer to each other in a position of the fixing part in a thickness direction in relation to a position of the sandwiching part. An easy bending part in which the first sheet can be easily bended between the sandwiching part and the fixing part is formed in the first sheet.
