Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the conductive filaments are left exposed between the injection-molded rubber plug and the LED filament, then the manufacturing process is simpler, but the conductive filaments are prone to bending or deformation during transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidconductive filament stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The display positioning block is pre-formed with cavities and protrusions that correspond to the conductive filaments' positions. During assembly, the conductive filaments are inserted into these pre-positioned cavities, which preliminarily constrain their positions and prevent bending or deformation during transportation and installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display positioning block serves as an intermediary component between the injection-molded rubber plug and the LED filament. It provides a structured interface with specific cavities and protrusions that mediate the connection, ensuring the conductive filaments are properly positioned and protected without requiring complex modification of the existing components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the display positioning block covers the middle and upper ends of the conductive filaments, then the anti-deformation performance is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconductive filament anti-deformation performanceVSAvoidLED lamp structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display positioning block performs multiple functions simultaneously: it positions the conductive filaments, protects them from deformation, provides structural support, and serves as a mounting interface for the LED filament. By consolidating these functions into a single component, the overall device complexity is minimized while achieving the desired protection.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The design merges the positioning, protection, and support functions into the display positioning block, which is integrated with the existing lamp structure. The block combines rigid and flexible elements to provide both structural support and deformation protection, reducing the need for separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the conductive filaments are fully packaged by the display positioning block, then the stability is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconductive filament stabilityVSAvoidpositioning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display positioning block is segmented into distinct functional zones: cavities for receiving conductive filaments, protrusions for positioning, and regions for LED filament mounting. Each segment is designed with specific tolerances, allowing modular manufacturing and assembly while maintaining overall positioning precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the display positioning block have different structural characteristics optimized for their specific functions. The cavities have precise dimensions for filament reception, while the protrusions have matching geometries for positioning. This local optimization of quality reduces the overall manufacturing precision requirements compared to a uniformly precise design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
