Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If circuit boards are fixed to aluminum bar using conventional methods, then the assembly process is simple, but the mounting is not secure and short circuit risk is high
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the mounting system into separate functional components: rails for structural support, LED carriers for circuit board mounting, and plugs for electrical connections. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving reliability while maintaining assembly simplicity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The LED carrier acts as an intermediary component between the aluminum bar and the circuit board, providing a secure mounting interface. The carrier includes positioning features that ensure precise alignment and stable fixation, eliminating the direct fixation problems between circuit boards and aluminum bars in conventional designs.
2Reliability
If aluminum bar is affixed to neon box directly, then the installation process is quick, but the fixation is not stable and short circuit risk remains
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into rails that attach to the neon box and carriers that attach to the rails. This separation allows the rails to provide stable structural fixation while the carriers handle electrical component mounting, improving overall stability without complicating installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The rails are pre-equipped with positioning seats and fixing structures that prepare the mounting interface in advance. This preliminary preparation ensures stable fixation when the carriers and plugs are assembled, eliminating the need for complex adjustments during installation.
3Reliability
If conventional LED light string structure is used, then the design is simple, but electrical shorts are potential and mounting safety is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical system is segmented into separate carriers for different circuit boards, each with dedicated plugs for power and signal connections. This segmentation isolates electrical pathways, preventing short circuits between adjacent circuits while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
Plugs serve as intermediary components between the power source and LED circuits, providing isolated electrical connection points. The positioning seats on the rails ensure that plugs are correctly positioned and secured, preventing electrical contact issues and short circuits while simplifying the connection process.
