LED Driver RFID Address Burning for Warehouse Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light emitting diode (LED) driving apparatuses require fixed local address data to be burned in during manufacturing, making it inconvenient for warehouse management and assembly, as the address data cannot be changed or updated.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, address burning controller, and memory into the LED driving apparatus, allowing for wireless receipt and storage of local address data using an RFID reader/writer, enabling easy data updates and avoiding the need for physical reconfiguration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If local address data is burned into the light emitting diode driving apparatus during manufacturing, then the address data is fixed and reliable, but it cannot be changed afterwards making warehouse management and assembly inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the address data configurable and changeable through RFID technology. The address burning controller can receive address data wirelessly via RFID tag and write it to the address memory, allowing the address data to be dynamically updated rather than fixed during manufacturing. This resolves the contradiction by enabling both reliability (through controlled writing) and operational flexibility (through wireless reconfiguration).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual process of burning address data during manufacturing with a wireless RFID-based system. Instead of requiring physical access and manual verification of address data during assembly and warehouse management, the system uses electromagnetic fields to wirelessly transmit and write address data to the driving apparatus, significantly improving operational convenience while maintaining data integrity through controlled writing mechanisms.
2Manufacturing precision
If local address data is burned into the light emitting diode driving apparatus during manufacturing, then the address data is fixed, but operators must carefully check every apparatus to avoid assembly errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual verification process with an automated RFID-based system. The address burning controller wirelessly receives address data through the RFID tag and automatically writes it to the address memory, eliminating the need for operators to manually check and verify address data on each apparatus. This reduces assembly complexity while maintaining precision through controlled wireless writing and automatic data transfer.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the address burning controller to automatically receive and write address data without manual intervention. The RFID-based wireless communication allows the apparatus to self-configure its address data, reducing the need for human operators to carefully verify each apparatus and thereby simplifying the assembly process while maintaining accuracy.
3Reliability
If multiple power transmission lines and signal transmission lines are used, then the lighting signal can be transmitted reliably, but it wastes wires
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power transmission and signal transmission functions into a single communication channel using RFID technology. The address burning controller wirelessly receives address data through the RFID tag, and the system uses the power transmission lines to also carry signal transmission, eliminating the need for separate signal transmission lines. This reduces wire usage while maintaining reliable communication through the combined use of existing infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by making the power transmission lines serve multiple functions - both power delivery and signal transmission. The RFID-based wireless communication allows the system to use existing power lines for data communication as well, eliminating the need for dedicated signal transmission lines and reducing overall wire usage while maintaining reliable signal transmission through multi-functional use of the power infrastructure.

AI summary
A light emitting diode lamp includes a light emitting diode driving apparatus and at least one light emitting diode. The light emitting diode driving apparatus includes a radio frequency identification tag, an address burning controller, an address memory and a light emitting diode driving circuit. The radio frequency identification tag wirelessly receives a radio frequency identification signal. The radio frequency identification tag converts the radio frequency identification signal into a local address signal. The radio frequency identification tag sends the local address signal to the address burning controller. The address burning controller converts the local address signal into a local address data. The address burning controller burns the local address data into the address memory so the address memory stores the local address data.
