Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wiring modules fail to securely fix multiple wiring members close to an attachment surface, leading to potential instability and interference issues.

Innovation Solution

A wiring module design featuring a base member with an attachment surface and a holding member, where the holding member includes sheet portions with holes, allowing the wiring members to be passed through and held in an arranged state, with the sheet portions being joined to the attachment surface to maintain proximity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If wiring members are passed through holes in a sheet without joining the sheet to the attachment surface, then the wiring members can be held in an arranged state, but the wiring members cannot be fixed close to the attachment surface

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepositioning accuracy of wiring membersVSAvoidstability of wiring members

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the holding function and the fixing function into a single integrated structure. The sheet portion that holds the wiring members through holes is joined to the attachment surface, creating a unified assembly that simultaneously achieves both positioning accuracy and stability without requiring separate components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The sheet portion acts as an intermediary element between the wiring members and the attachment surface. By joining this intermediate sheet to the attachment surface, the wiring members are indirectly fixed close to the surface while maintaining their arranged positions through the holes, resolving the contradiction between positioning and stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple wiring members are held in an arranged state without joining to attachment surface, then arrangement is maintained, but interference and instability occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvearranged state of wiring membersVSAvoidinterference between wiring members

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the holding function and the fixing function into a single integrated structure. The sheet portion that holds the wiring members through holes is joined to the attachment surface, creating a unified assembly that simultaneously achieves both positioning accuracy and stability without requiring separate components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The sheet portion pre-establishes a stable framework with holes positioned to maintain proper spacing between wiring members. By joining this pre-configured sheet to the attachment surface, the wiring members are held in their correct positions before any potential interference can occur, preventing instability and interference issues.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
