Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate power supply and signal transmission lines are used for each LED display module, then reliable power supply and signal transmission are ensured, but the number of connection lines increases and wiring complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power supply input interface and signal input interface into a single integrated connector. The power supply transmission line and signal transmission line are merged into one unified connection between the power supply box and LED display module, reducing the number of separate connection lines while maintaining reliable power supply and signal transmission through the integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated connector serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides both power supply connection and signal transmission through the same physical interface. This multi-functional design allows a single connection line to handle both power and data tasks, eliminating the need for separate dedicated lines for each function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate power supply and signal input interfaces are provided for LED display modules, then functional requirements are met, but the number of connectors increases and assembly operations become complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power supply input interface and signal input interface into a single integrated connector on the LED display module. This consolidation reduces the number of separate connectors from two to one, significantly simplifying the assembly process and reducing operational complexity while maintaining all necessary functional capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated connector is designed to handle multiple functions through a single interface: power supply input, signal input, and corresponding connections to both power supply transmission line and signal transmission line. This universal interface design meets all functional requirements while reducing the number of assembly steps and improving ease of operation.
3Reliability
If multiple separate transmission lines are used between power supply box and LED display modules, then complete power and signal transmission is achieved, but the number of lines increases and wiring becomes cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power supply transmission line and signal transmission line into a single integrated transmission line that carries both power and signal between the power supply box and LED display module. This merging reduces the total number of transmission lines from two separate lines to one unified line, decreasing wiring quantity and reducing clutter while maintaining complete transmission functionality.
