VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a straight aluminum baseplate is used in U-shaped or H-shaped tubes, then the assembly process is simplified, but the heat conduction becomes non-uniform and illumination consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly processVSAvoidillumination consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The baseplate is segmented into multiple independent baseplates, each fitted into separate branches of U-shaped or H-shaped tubes. This segmentation allows each baseplate to be independently optimized for its specific tube branch, ensuring uniform heat conduction and consistent illumination across all LED lamp beads while maintaining simplified assembly through modular construction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different baseplates are designed with locally optimized characteristics suitable for their specific tube branches. Each baseplate's dimensions, shape, and thermal properties are tailored to its local requirements, ensuring optimal heat conduction and illumination consistency for each segment while maintaining overall system simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If multiple straight tubes or U-shaped/H-shaped tubes are added to increase illuminance, then the light output is improved, but the bearing rod cannot be uniformly stressed and assembly complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight outputVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The illumination system is divided into multiple independent tube branches, each with its own baseplate and LED array. This segmentation allows the bearing rod to be uniformly stressed across all branches during assembly, as each branch can be independently positioned and secured, while achieving high light output through the combined effect of multiple branches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple tube branches with identical baseplate designs are combined into a single U-shaped or H-shaped structure. This merging allows uniform stress distribution on the bearing rod during assembly while achieving high illuminance through the cumulative light output of all branches, reducing overall assembly complexity through standardization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Illumination intensity

If two aluminum baseplates are separately inserted into U-shaped or H-shaped tube branches, then the illumination coverage is improved, but the circuit wiring becomes more complex and cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination coverageVSAvoidcircuit wiring
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The baseplate design incorporates universal electrical connection features that can be applied to both straight and U-shaped/H-shaped tubes. By standardizing the circuit wiring interface and configuration across all baseplates, the system achieves wide illumination coverage through multiple branches while maintaining simple and consistent circuit wiring procedures

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

Solution Approach 2:

All baseplates are designed with identical electrical connection characteristics and circuit configurations. This homogeneity ensures that circuit wiring remains simple and consistent across all tube branches, even as illumination coverage is expanded through the addition of multiple baseplates and branches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity
