Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lamp bead supports are inconvenient for snipping copper wires between the signal input and signal output due to obstruction by the frame body, making the process difficult and potentially damaging.

Innovation Solution

The lamp bead support design includes a frame body with first and second weld portions that extend out of the frame body, forming a snipping opening, allowing for easy cutting of copper wires between these portions without obstruction, and can be mass produced at a lower cost.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the frame body is designed to enclose the circuit board for structural integrity, then the structural strength is improved, but the ease of snipping copper wires deteriorates due to obstruction

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidease of snipping copper wires

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The frame body is segmented to include a snipping opening that divides the enclosed space, allowing copper wires to be accessed and cut without compromising the overall structural integrity of the frame body

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A snipping opening is extracted from the frame body structure, creating a dedicated access point for wire cutting operations while maintaining the enclosing function of the frame body for structural support

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Device complexity

If the weld portions are kept close together on the circuit board, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of snipping copper wires deteriorates due to lack of access space

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidease of snipping copper wires

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The weld portions are arranged in a specific spatial configuration on the circuit board that utilizes available space efficiently, allowing them to be relatively close while still providing access through the snipping opening in the frame body

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of manufacture

If manual snipping of copper wires is performed without a dedicated opening, then the manufacturing process is simpler, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to potential damage to the circuit board

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidmanufacturing precision

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The snipping opening is pre-formed in the frame body during manufacturing, preparing the structure in advance to guide the cutting tool and prevent accidental damage to the circuit board during the wire snipping operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
