Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple power cord sections are connected sequentially to form a multi-section power cord with lamp holders, then the decorative lamp can achieve large-area surrounding illumination, but the manufacturing process becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination areaVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The decorative lamp is divided into multiple independent LED lamp modules, each containing an LED illuminator and associated wiring. These modules can be connected in series to achieve large-area illumination without requiring complex sequential assembly of power cord sections and lamp holders, as each module is a self-contained unit that simplifies the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Area of stationary object

If multiple power cord sections are connected sequentially to form a multi-section power cord with lamp holders, then the decorative lamp can achieve large-area surrounding illumination, but the service life becomes short due to ease of damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination areaVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the decorative lamp into multiple independent LED lamp modules, the system achieves large-area illumination while improving reliability. Each module operates independently, so if one module is damaged, the others continue to function, extending the overall service life of the decorative lamp system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The LED lamp modules are designed as replaceable units with simplified construction. If a module becomes damaged, it can be easily replaced rather than repairing the entire lamp system, effectively extending the service life of the overall decorative lamp installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Ease of manufacture

If the flexible insulating layer is removed from electrode wires for connection, then the LED illuminators can be connected to the electrode wires, but the risk of short circuit and burning out increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection easeVSAvoidshort circuit risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible insulating layer is removed from the electrode wires in advance during the manufacturing process, and the wires are immediately connected to the LED illuminators. This preliminary action eliminates the need for manual insulation removal during installation, reducing the risk of short circuits and burning out while maintaining ease of connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an insulating structure that covers the connection points between the electrode wires and LED illuminators. This intermediary insulating layer protects the exposed conductive parts from short circuits while allowing easy connection during manufacturing, thus reducing the risk of burning out without compromising connection ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed is an LED lamp module (100). A first electrode wire (115) continuously runs through two sides of a first LED illuminator (120), and the first electrode wire (115) is connected to a first conductive pin of the first LED illuminator (120). A second electrode wire (116) continuously runs through the two sides of the first LED illuminator (120), and the second electrode wire (116) is connected to a second conductive pin of the first LED illuminator (120). After the flexible insulating layers of the first electrode wire (115) and the second electrode (116) wire are previously removed, the corresponding conductive pin is connected to the corresponding electrode wire. Among two ends of the first electrode wire and two ends of the second electrode wire, at least 2 terminals on the same sides of the first electrode wire and the second electrode wire are left and used for front and back cascade connection to modules of the same structure or for connection to a power source.
