Solution Overview

Problem

The manufacturing of LED lamp bulbs is hindered by the need for a special locating device during assembly, increasing difficulty and cost due to the high cost of electronic elements.

Innovation Solution

An LED lamp bulb design that integrates a glass core column with conducting wires and an exhaust tube, where the LED lamp filament is fixed through welding, and the drive element is pre-installed on the second conducting wire, enabling an automatic production process that reduces manual labor and costs by optimizing the connecting structure and manner of the drive element.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If electronic elements are mounted inside the lamp cap during assembly, then the LED lamp bulb can be manufactured, but a special locating device is needed which increases assembly difficulty and lowers production efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly processVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic elements are pre-mounted on the conducting wires before the final assembly into the lamp cap. This preliminary action allows the electronic elements to be positioned and secured in advance, eliminating the need for special locating devices during the final assembly process and significantly improving production efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If electronic elements are mounted inside the lamp cap, then the LED lamp bulb can be manufactured, but the high cost of electronic elements increases the overall production cost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing capabilityVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electronic elements are integrated directly onto the conducting wires, merging the electronic component mounting function with the electrical connection function. This integration eliminates the need for separate mounting structures and reduces the overall bill of materials cost, thereby lowering production cost while maintaining manufacturing capability
