Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate electrical power sources and wiring are used for each LED module, then each module can be independently powered, but installation and maintenance become difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate power sources and wiring systems into a single centralized power source that distributes electricity to multiple LED modules through a network. This merging eliminates the need for individual power sources at each module while maintaining independent operation through the distribution network, thereby reducing installation and maintenance time.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal power distribution system that can serve multiple different LED modules and signage types from a single power source. The system is designed to be adaptable to various module configurations and can provide both power and data transmission through the same infrastructure, reducing the need for separate systems.
2Reliability
If separate electrical power sources and wiring are used for each LED module, then each module has dedicated power supply, but the system becomes complex and operationally inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate power supply systems into a single centralized power distribution network. This consolidation reduces the overall number of components and simplifies the system architecture while maintaining the ability to independently power individual modules through the distribution network.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a power distribution network as an intermediary between the single power source and individual LED modules. This intermediary system manages power allocation and distribution, simplifying the connection between the power source and multiple modules while maintaining operational independence.
3Use of energy by moving object
If traditional wiring connections are used for LED modules, then electrical power can be supplied, but data transmission capability is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines electrical power supply and data transmission functions into a single integrated communication system. The same network infrastructure that distributes electrical power to LED modules also transmits control data and operational instructions, eliminating the need for separate data transmission channels.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal communication network that performs multiple functions: electrical power distribution, data transmission, and operational control. This multi-functional system replaces traditional single-purpose wiring with an intelligent network capable of handling both energy and information flow.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate signage systems are used, then each system can be independently operated, but the overall system is inefficient and uneconomical
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal signage system that can accommodate multiple different types of LED modules and signage configurations under a single centralized control framework. This universal system maintains the ability to independently operate individual modules while providing centralized management for improved operational efficiency and economic performance.
Data Source
AI summary
An LED module lighting signage system receives electricity from a power supply as well as data from a data processor source, via electrical power and data supply wiring, at least one power/data distributor, and quick connect, plug-in male and female connectors. The distributor has multiple ports which permit wiring to run from a power supply and data processor source to the distributor and from the distributor to multiple LED modules and fixtures, e.g. different channel letters, LED stringlights, etc. All connections between the power source, data processor source, electrical power/data distributor, and the modules or fixtures are accomplished easily by means of male to female quick connect plug-in connectors. In this manner, the power/data distributor can provide electrical power to LED module lighting signage and also transmit data from a data processor source to the signage in a single cohesive system.
