Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If flash bulbs are directly connected in series to LED light strings, then dynamic flashing effect is achieved, but current consumption increases and luminescence becomes unsteady

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of connectionVSAvoidstability of luminescence
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a control module as an intermediary between the power source and LED lights. This module includes a bridge driving circuit that converts DC power to AC power, enabling proper driving of LED lights with flash bulbs without direct series connection, thus maintaining luminescence stability while achieving flashing effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the lighting system into separate functional modules: a control module with bridge driving circuit for power conversion and control, and LED light strings for illumination. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each module, enabling stable operation of LEDs while incorporating flash bulbs for dynamic effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If flash bulbs are directly connected to LED light strings, then flashing effect is achieved, but current fluctuation increases affecting safety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of installationVSAvoidcurrent fluctuation and safety risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The control module serves as a protective intermediary that regulates power delivery to both LED lights and flash bulbs. The bridge driving circuit within this module controls current flow, preventing dangerous fluctuations while enabling the flashing effect, thus maintaining safety without compromising installation simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates protection circuits within the control module that preemptively prevent current overfluctuation. These circuits monitor and regulate power delivery before harmful fluctuations can occur, cushioning against potential safety risks while allowing flash bulbs to operate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Ease of operation

If button switch control is used for LED lights, then simple operation is achieved, but intelligent control capability is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of controlVSAvoidintelligent control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The control module is designed with multi-functionality, supporting both traditional button switch operation and Bluetooth wireless control. This universal design allows the system to maintain simple local control while gaining intelligent remote control capabilities through a mobile terminal application

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a mobile terminal application as an intermediary for intelligent control. This application communicates with the control module via Bluetooth, providing enhanced control capabilities including mode selection, timing functions, and memory storage, while the button switch remains available for direct operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If Bluetooth wireless control is added to LED controller, then intelligent control capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintelligent control capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a mobile terminal application as an intermediary for intelligent control functions. This approach offloads complex control logic to the user's smartphone, keeping the actual controller relatively simple while still providing advanced features through wireless communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
