Solution Overview

Problem

The manual assembly of LED lamp caps is inefficient and prone to errors, leading to poor quality and damage to the LED lamp wick during the installation process, particularly due to the separation of the LED lamp bead from its lead wire.

Innovation Solution

A device comprising multiple feeding devices and mechanisms for automatically assembling the LED lamp cap, including a first feeding device for the heat sink base, a second for the LED lamp bead, a third for the lamp tube, and a positioning-mounting mechanism with a lead wire threading device to securely attach the lead wire to the heat sink base, ensuring accurate and stable assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual assembly is used for LED lamp cap, then flexibility and simplicity are maintained, but production efficiency is poor and quality is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidassembly system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The assembly system is divided into multiple independent feeding devices (first feeding device for heat sink base, second feeding device for LED lamp bead, third feeding device for lamp tube) and a positioning-mounting mechanism. Each component has its own dedicated feeding and positioning system, allowing parallel operation and improving overall productivity while maintaining modular simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The automatic assembly device performs self-service by automatically feeding, positioning, and assembling components without manual intervention. The system includes automatic lead wire threading and securing functions that self-correct potential issues during assembly, eliminating the need for external manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual assembly is used, then operation simplicity is maintained, but assembly quality and reliability are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly qualityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Each component (heat sink base, LED lamp bead, lamp tube) has its own dedicated feeding device that pre-positions and pre-orients components before assembly. The positioning-mounting mechanism performs preliminary alignment and securing actions, ensuring high assembly quality and reliability before final assembly occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical assembly operations with automated positioning and mounting mechanisms. The lead wire threading device automatically guides and secures lead wires through mounting holes, eliminating manual manipulation that causes variability and reducing assembly quality issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If lead wire is drawn by external force during assembly, then assembly progress is made, but LED lamp bead separates from lead wire causing scrap

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly speedVSAvoidlead wire connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning-mounting mechanism performs preliminary securing actions on the lead wire before final assembly. The lead wire threading device预先 guides the lead wire through the mounting hole and secures it in place, preventing separation even when external forces are applied during subsequent assembly operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning-mounting mechanism provides beforehand cushioning by pre-securing the lead wire and LED lamp bead connection. This preliminary securing action creates a buffer that protects against potential separation caused by external forces during the assembly process, preventing scrap and maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
