Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED lamps experience dark zones and poor connection stability when connected in series due to uneven spacing of LED chips, leading to inconsistent lighting and easy disconnection.
Innovation Solution
The LED lighting assembly incorporates an emitting-light apparatus with a PCB and LED units, an inserting apparatus with connecting springs, and a base cover with grooves and fixing mechanisms, allowing for easy and secure connection of multiple assemblies while maintaining even LED spacing and symmetry.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If LED lamps are connected in series with jack welding on circuit board, then electrical connection is achieved, but connection stability is poor and easy to disconnect
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is segmented into separate functional components: the jack is separated from the circuit board and integrated into a dedicated connector housing, while the circuit board maintains its LED chip array. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving connection stability without compromising electrical functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
A connector housing acts as an intermediary component between the circuit board and the jack. This housing provides structural support and alignment features that stabilize the connection, preventing easy disconnection while maintaining the electrical connection path through the jack.
2Illumination intensity
If distance between LED chips is reduced for better continuity, then lighting uniformity improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board dimensions and LED chip pitch are optimized as design parameters to achieve the desired lighting uniformity. By carefully selecting the board size and chip spacing parameters during the design phase, the patent achieves continuous lighting effect without requiring excessive manufacturing precision during production.
3Illumination intensity
If multiple LED lamps are connected to eliminate dark zones, then lighting continuity improves, but connection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connector housing is designed with universal features that allow identical connection methods for series linking multiple LED lamp assemblies. The same housing structure and jack integration approach works for both individual lamp construction and multi-lamp series connection, simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining lighting continuity.
