Problem
Conventional power supply systems for LED lamps on shelves are inconvenient for installation and repair due to exposed wires and lack of column-based installation options, leading to cluttered and aesthetically unappealing displays.
Innovation Solution
An embedded shelf power taking system featuring a power supply track with strip-shaped baffles, conductive members, and elastic electrical taking members that allow for hidden installation and secure power delivery, integrating fixing and power supply functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If power supply is set on the back of the shelf using interconnection wires, then power can be delivered to LED lamps, but installation becomes inconvenient and wires become jumbled and staggered occupying space and affecting aesthetics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the power delivery function from the traditional wire-based system and implements it through a power supply track embedded in the shelf. The track body with conductive strips separates the power delivery mechanism from visible wiring, eliminating the need for interconnection wires while maintaining power supply functionality. This resolves the contradiction by removing the harmful wiring complexity while preserving ease of installation through the simplified track-based system.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply track serves as an intermediary component between the shelf structure and the LED lamps. Instead of directly connecting lamps with wires, the track acts as a mediator that provides both mechanical support and electrical power delivery. The electrical head interfaces with the track to extract power, eliminating the need for complex wire management while maintaining installation convenience.
2Illumination intensity
If multiple LED lamps are set in the shelf, then lighting coverage is improved, but multiple wires become jumbled and staggered occupying more space and affecting overall beauty
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the power delivery function from visible wires and embeds it in the shelf structure through the power supply track. This allows multiple LED lamps to be installed at different positions along the track without introducing additional wires that would compromise aesthetics. The track system provides clean, integrated power delivery that maintains shelf beauty while supporting multiple lighting points.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a one-dimensional wire-based power delivery system to a two-dimensional track-based system embedded in the shelf structure. The track can be installed along the shelf's length and depth, providing power delivery in multiple directions without requiring wires to traverse the shelf space. This dimensional change enables multiple lamps to be powered cleanly while maintaining aesthetic appearance.
3Ease of operation
If table stick installation method is used for power supply track, then installation is simplified, but it appears bare and cannot achieve internal installation on shelves without columns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the power supply track with dual functionality: it can be installed using simple table stick attachment when columns are available, and also embedded directly into the shelf structure when columns are absent. The track body includes features like mounting holes for stick attachment and embedding grooves for flush installation, making it universally adaptable to different shelf configurations while maintaining installation simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent provides dynamic installation options that adapt to the specific shelf configuration. The track can be installed in different modes (surface-mounted with sticks or embedded) depending on whether columns are present. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to maintain installation simplicity across diverse shelf types, resolving the contradiction between ease of installation and installation location flexibility.
