Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting devices for computer connecting lines are difficult to dismount and assemble, as they are fixed using glue, which can damage the light strip, and the assembly process is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device with clamping seats and fixing pressing sheets that securely attach the LED light strip using screws, allowing for easy mounting and dismounting, and a clamping system for the connecting harness that simplifies assembly by using plugs and cables with silicon outer layers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the light strip is fixed using glue, then the light strip is securely attached, but the light strip cannot be dismounted and may be damaged if forcedly dismounted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment strengthVSAvoiddismountability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing structure is segmented into multiple components: clamping seats at both ends of the light strip, fixing pressing sheets with pressing convex bodies, and corresponding receiving concave bodies in the clamping seats. This segmentation allows the light strip to be securely fixed while enabling easy disassembly by separating these components, resolving the contradiction between strong attachment and dismountability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the chemical bonding mechanism (glue) with a mechanical fastening system consisting of pressing sheets, pressing convex bodies, and receiving concave bodies. This mechanical system provides both strong attachment strength and easy disassembly capability, as the components can be simply pressed together or separated without damaging the light strip.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If the light strip is fixed with clamping seats and screws, then the light strip can be easily assembled and disassembled, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into integrated components. The fixing pressing sheets combine the fixing function and the pressing function in one component. The clamping seats integrate the light strip receiving function and the cable management function. This merging reduces the number of separate parts and simplifies the overall structure while maintaining ease of assembly and disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The clamping seats serve multiple functions: they clamp the light strip, provide structural support, and manage cable routing. The fixing pressing sheets simultaneously fix the light strip and apply uniform pressure through their convex bodies. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components, simplifying the structure while improving assembly convenience.

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

3Device complexity

If traditional mortise and tenon connections are used, then the connection is simple, but the assembly efficiency is low and not suitable for modern connecting harnesses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection simplicityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic clamping mechanisms that can quickly adapt to different connecting harness configurations. The clamping seats and fixing pressing sheets can be rapidly assembled and disassembled, providing high assembly efficiency. This dynamic approach replaces static traditional connections, enabling faster assembly while maintaining simplicity and compatibility with modern connecting harnesses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
