Solution Overview
Problem
Existing low-voltage LED light strings suffer from short series connection distances, severe voltage drop, and inconsistent brightness due to line loss and voltage drop, leading to failure in series connection with high-voltage light strings.
Innovation Solution
An LED-embedded light-emitting wire light string design that integrates high-voltage and low-voltage lamps, using a main wire composed of high-voltage and low-voltage core wires, with a light-transmitting film for uniform light distribution, and a rectifier drive board for independent power supply to each lamp, allowing for longer connections and stable lighting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If low-voltage LED light strings are used for flexible and portable power supply, then ease of operation is improved, but connection length is limited due to severe voltage drop
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines high-voltage and low-voltage lighting systems into a single integrated light string. The main wire contains both high-voltage bulbs and low-voltage LED lamp beads, allowing the product to maintain portability while extending connection length through dual-power supply capability
Solution Approach 2:
The light string is designed to support both high-voltage and low-voltage power sources simultaneously. The main wire can be powered by either high-voltage AC power or low-voltage battery power, making it adaptable to different usage scenarios and extending its application range
2Ease of operation
If low-voltage LED light strings are used for flexible power supply, then ease of operation is improved, but brightness uniformity deteriorates due to inconsistent brightness at beginning and end
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges high-voltage bulbs and low-voltage LED lamp beads on the same main wire. This combination allows different sections of the light string to be powered by different voltage sources, compensating for voltage drop effects and achieving more uniform brightness distribution along the entire length
Solution Approach 2:
Different sections of the main wire can have different lighting characteristics. High-voltage bulbs provide stable brightness in sections where voltage supply is consistent, while low-voltage LED lamp beads compensate in sections affected by voltage drop, creating locally optimized brightness uniformity
3Device complexity
If traditional low-voltage and high-voltage light strings are used separately, then simplicity is maintained, but adaptability deteriorates due to failure in series connection
Solution Approach 1:
The light string incorporates both high-voltage and low-voltage power capabilities in a single device. The main wire can connect to high-voltage AC power sources or low-voltage battery sources, enabling the product to be adapted to different power supply systems and allowing series connection with various types of light strings
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting system is segmented into high-voltage bulb sections and low-voltage LED lamp bead sections on the main wire. This segmentation allows flexible configuration and connection with different power sources, improving adaptability while maintaining relatively simple system architecture
