Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple independent string lights are connected to different power supplies, then each light can function independently, but the power cord distribution becomes messy and indoor cleanliness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent light functionVSAvoidpower cord distribution
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple independent power supplies into a single integrated power supply unit that can power multiple string lights simultaneously. The power supply is designed with multiple output interfaces, allowing several light strings to be connected to one centralized power source, thereby eliminating the mess of multiple separate power cords while maintaining independent light functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The power supply unit is designed with multi-functionality, serving as a universal power source for multiple different string lights. It includes multiple connection interfaces and can accommodate various light string configurations, making a single power supply capable of replacing multiple individual power supplies.

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

2Productivity

If multiple power supplies are used for different string lights, then each light can be powered, but the time required to organize power cords increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight setup efficiencyVSAvoidcord organization time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple power supply functions into one integrated unit with multiple outputs, the patent reduces the number of separate power cords that need to be managed. Users only need to organize and manage a single power supply unit instead of multiple separate power supplies, significantly reducing the time and effort required for cord organization during setup.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If multiple power cords are distributed throughout the indoor environment, then multiple lights can be powered, but indoor cleanliness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight decoration capabilityVSAvoidindoor cleanliness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates multiple power cords into a single integrated power supply unit, dramatically reducing the visual clutter and cord distribution throughout the indoor space. This single unit can be placed in one location, eliminating the need for multiple power cords to be scattered across the room, thereby maintaining indoor cleanliness and aesthetic appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the power supply function from multiple separate locations and consolidates it into one centralized unit. By taking out the individual power supplies from various locations and combining them into a single integrated unit with multiple outputs, the harmful visual effect of scattered power cords is eliminated while the lighting decoration capability is preserved.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

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 stand connects multiple lights with one power cord, reducing cord mess and organizing time, enhancing indoor cleanliness and providing a stable, efficient power connection.

Implementation Method 1

The connection block is inserted into the connection slot to connect the first terminal with the second terminal. The first metal sheet is arranged on a side wall of the connection slot. The second metal sheet is exposed along the notch to an outer surface of the connection block.
