Solution Overview

Problem

The existing LED lamp board installation process via hot plugging can cause surges due to improper connection sequences, particularly when the driving power terminal is connected before the ground interface.

Innovation Solution

A lamp board circuit is designed with a detection power input terminal and a detection power return terminal, which, when fully plugged, output a detection signal to enable the connection between the driving power supply and the driving power terminal, ensuring the ground interface is connected prior to power supply.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If hot plugging is implemented for LED lamp board installation, then ease of operation is improved, but surge risk increases due to improper connection sequence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidsurge risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing a detection power connection before the driving power connection during the hot plugging process. The detection power terminal is connected first to verify proper grounding and connection status, and only after successful detection does the system enable the driving power terminal. This preliminary verification step prevents surge damage by ensuring the ground interface is properly connected before power is applied to the LED lamp board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary detection power terminal that acts as a mediator between the power supply and the LED lamp board. This intermediate detection step verifies the connection status and grounding integrity before allowing the main driving power to be connected. The detection power terminal serves as a safety intermediary that prevents direct power connection until proper grounding is confirmed, thereby eliminating surge risk while maintaining hot plugging capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Speed

If driving power terminal is connected before ground interface, then connection speed is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to surge generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection speedVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by requiring the detection power terminal to be connected and verified before the driving power terminal becomes active. This preliminary detection phase confirms proper grounding and connection integrity, ensuring that when the driving power is subsequently connected, no surge will occur. The sequence is enforced: detection power first, then driving power only after successful detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the detection power terminal to monitor and verify the connection status before enabling the driving power terminal. The system continuously checks the grounding and connection integrity through the detection power path, and only when proper feedback is received confirming safe connection conditions does the system activate the driving power. This feedback mechanism ensures reliability while maintaining fast connection speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
