Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
LED flexible light strips experience loosening and disengagement at connector positions, leading to incomplete contact and safety hazards due to loose connecting rubber sleeves.
Innovation Solution
A lamp connector design featuring an insulating connector body with rotating shaft structures and pressing covers that enclose electrical connection cavities, ensuring stable and reliable connections between light strips through clamping mechanisms and soft rubber sleeves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a connecting rubber sleeve is directly sleeved with a soft rubber tube of the LED flexible light strip, then the connection process is simple, but the connector position becomes loose and unstable during use
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is divided into multiple components: a connector body, a pressing cover, and a fixing structure. The pressing cover is separable from the connector body, allowing independent installation and fixation steps. This segmentation enables simple initial connection while ensuring stable long-term connection through the fixing structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing cover is pre-installed on the connector body through a rotating shaft structure, allowing it to be rotated into position before final fixation. This preliminary positioning action simplifies the overall installation process while ensuring proper alignment for stable connection.
2Productivity
If the connecting rubber sleeve is directly sleeved with the soft rubber tube, then installation is quick, but the connector is prone to loosening and disengagement
Solution Approach 1:
The connector assembly is segmented into a connector body and a pressing cover that can be independently installed. The pressing cover is first rotated into position on the connector body, then fixed separately, allowing quick initial installation followed by secure fixation to prevent loosening.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing cover is mounted on a rotating shaft structure that allows it to be dynamically rotated from an open position to a closed position, enabling quick installation. Once in position, the fixing structure provides static fixation to prevent loosening during use.
3Reliability
If a fixed pressing cover structure is used to secure the connector, then connection stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is integrated with the pressing cover and connector body as a unified assembly. The pressing cover and connector body work together to clamp the soft rubber tube, combining multiple functions into a single integrated structure that provides stability without excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing cover serves multiple functions: it provides initial positioning when rotated onto the connector body, clamps the soft rubber tube together with the connector body to ensure stable connection, and can be fixed in place. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, maintaining simplicity while ensuring stability.
