Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering 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

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaddress data reliabilityVSAvoidwarehouse management convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by enabling the address data in the address memory to be changed from a fixed state to a modifiable state. The burning signal detector receives wireless burning signals that can update the address data stored in the address memory, allowing the system to adapt its address configuration dynamically rather than being static after manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a burning signal detector as an intermediary component that mediates between the external wireless burning signals and the address memory. This intermediary enables the address data to be updated without physical contact or disassembly, solving the contradiction by providing a convenient interface for address modification while maintaining data integrity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

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 check every apparatus carefully to avoid assembly errors

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaddress data accuracyVSAvoidassembly time

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by enabling bidirectional communication between the driving apparatus and the burner through the burning signal detector. The apparatus can receive burning signals to update address data and can also transmit its address information for verification, allowing operators to quickly confirm correct assembly without manual checking of each apparatus.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical/manual process of checking address data with wireless electromagnetic communication. The burning signal detector receives wireless burning signals and communicates address information without physical contact, substituting manual verification with automated wireless communication to reduce assembly time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If multiple power transmission lines and signal transmission lines are used, then the lighting signal can be transmitted reliably, but wires are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesignal transmission reliabilityVSAvoidwire waste

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the power transmission and signal transmission functions into a single communication channel. The burning signal detector can receive both power and address burning signals through the same wireless interface, eliminating the need for separate signal transmission lines and reducing wire waste while maintaining reliable transmission.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies universality by designing the burning signal detector to handle multiple functions through a single interface. The same wireless reception system handles both power transmission and address signal transmission, making the system multi-functional and eliminating the need for dedicated separate lines for each function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A light emitting diode lamp receiving a contactless burning signal includes at least a light emitting diode and a light emitting diode driving apparatus. The light emitting diode driving apparatus includes a burning signal detector, an address burning controller, an address memory and a light emitting diode driving circuit. The burning signal detector wirelessly receives a wireless address signal from outside. The burning signal detector converts the wireless address signal into a local address signal. The burning signal detector transmits the local address signal to the address burning controller. The address burning controller burns the local address signal into the address memory, so that the address memory stores a local address data.
