Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If a radiator plate is provided at a portion corresponding to the mounting position of LED groups, then heat radiation capability is improved, but heat transfer efficiency from LEDs to radiator plate deteriorates due to insufficient heat radiation route

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat radiation capabilityVSAvoidheat transfer efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the electrical connection function and heat dissipation function into a single metallic member (substrate or wiring board). This metallic member serves dual purposes: providing electrical connections to the LED groups and acting as a heat radiation route to transfer heat away from the LEDs, thereby resolving the contradiction between heat radiation capability and heat transfer efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The metallic substrate or wiring board is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support, electrical connectivity, and thermal management. By making the substrate itself metallic with high thermal conductivity, the system achieves efficient heat transfer from LEDs to the radiator plate without requiring separate dedicated heat transfer components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
