The existing integrated electrical connector device structures for LED lights are complex, costly, and not suitable for automated production due to their intricate structure and the need for separate electrical connections between the light head, driver board, and light source board, which complicates the assembly process.
Innovation Solution
An integrated electrical connector device structure for LED lights that includes a supporting board with conductive connectors, featuring conductive pins and plugs, which simplifies the assembly by eliminating the need for direct electrical connections between the light source board, driver board, and light head, using a conductive connector to connect the light head and light source board electrically through the supporting board.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate electrical connections (wire welding) are used between light board, driver board, and light head, then electrical connection is achieved, but assembly complexity and installation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate electrical connections into a single integrated connector assembly. The connector includes multiple contact terminals that simultaneously establish electrical connections between the light board, driver board, and light head, replacing the traditional separate wire welding processes. This merging reduces assembly complexity while maintaining reliable electrical connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated connector serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical connections for the light board, driver board, and light head, while also serving as a structural support element. The connector assembly integrates wiring, connection terminals, and mounting functions into a single universal component, simplifying the overall assembly process.
2Reliability
If traditional separate connection method is used, then electrical connection is established, but assembly time and production efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical connections are pre-assembled into the connector before the final assembly step. The connector comes pre-wired with contact terminals positioned and connected to the light board, driver board, and light head connections, allowing for rapid installation without time-consuming on-site wiring and welding operations.
3Reliability
If multiple separate connectors are used for different connections, then electrical connections are established, but device structure and installation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple separate connectors are merged into a single integrated connector assembly that handles all electrical connections between the light board, driver board, and light head. This unified connector reduces the number of separate components to be handled during installation, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining all necessary electrical connections.
