Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If excessive connectors and lamp holders are used to increase the density of luminous points, then the density of luminous points is improved, but the production cost increases and the convenience of use deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedensity of luminous pointsVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functions of the insulation pipe and the light guiding structure into a single integrated component. The insulation pipe is designed with light guiding sections that can transmit light from LED beads to lamp holders, eliminating the need for separate light guiding components and reducing the overall number of parts required in the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The insulation pipe serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical insulation, acts as a light guiding structure, and supports the mechanical assembly of LED beads and lamp holders. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, thereby lowering production costs while maintaining high luminous point density.

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