Solution Overview

Problem

Existing decorative lights face issues with wire tangling and uneven illuminance due to direct wire wrapping on decorative pieces, making installation and uninstallation difficult and affecting the visual appearance.

Innovation Solution

A fixing frame with wire slots and clamping arms allows for independent mounting of decorative pieces and wires, preventing tangling and facilitating easy installation and uninstallation, while ensuring even light distribution through transparent or hollow decorative sheets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If wires are wound directly onto decorative pieces, then the decorative light can be assembled, but the decorative pieces become difficult to install and uninstall

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly capabilityVSAvoidinstallation and uninstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the system into separate components: a fixing frame for wire arrangement and decorative pieces for illumination. The wire is fixed on the fixing frame independently, while decorative pieces are separately mounted, allowing easy installation and uninstallation without affecting each other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the wire arrangement function from the decorative pieces by introducing a separate fixing frame. This allows the decorative pieces to be freely installed and removed without being constrained by wire winding, solving the difficulty of uninstallation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of manufacture

If wires are wound directly onto decorative pieces, then the decorative light can be assembled, but wire tangling occurs and arrangement efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly capabilityVSAvoidwire arrangement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wire arrangement function into a separate fixing frame structure with designated wire slots. This prevents wire tangling by providing dedicated pathways for wire routing, significantly improving wire arrangement efficiency and ease of assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If wires are wound directly onto decorative pieces, then the decorative light can be assembled, but the visual appearance of decorative pieces is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly capabilityVSAvoidvisual appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the wire-carrying function (fixing frame) from the aesthetic function (decorative pieces). This segmentation allows decorative pieces to maintain their visual appearance without wire winding, while the fixing frame handles wire arrangement independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of manufacture

If wires are unevenly distributed on decorative pieces, then the decorative light can be assembled, but illuminance becomes uneven across different parts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly capabilityVSAvoiduniformity of illuminance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates wire arrangement from decorative piece positioning. The fixing frame with its structured wire slots ensures even wire distribution, which in turn provides uniform illuminance across all decorative pieces. This segmentation allows independent optimization of both wire layout and decorative element placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A fixing frame, a light-emitting decorative assembly, and a decorative light is disclosed, wherein a fixing frame contains a mounting portion and a support portion disposed on the mounting portion; one or both of the mounting portion and the support portion is/are arranged with a wire having light-emitting components; the light-emitting decorative assembly has a decorative piece and a fixing frame, and the decorative piece is removably mounted on the fixing frame; the decorative light has a support and a plurality of light-emitting decorative assemblies fixed on the support; fixing frames are fixed on the supporting frame. The fixing frame is used to mount the decorative piece, while the wire is arranged on the fixing frame, yet the wire and the decorative piece has no direct contact that results in tangling. As such, the decorative piece can be easily mount and dismount, and can be easily replaced.
