Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If connecting wires or metal pins are used to connect the circuit board to the bulb cap shell, then the light bulb can be assembled, but the connection reliability and position consistency are affected due to freedom of movement of the connecting components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the connecting wire function into the circuit board by printing conductive patterns directly on the board. The circuit board integrates both the electrical connection function and the structural support function, eliminating separate connecting components. This reduces the number of parts and improves connection reliability by removing freedom of movement between separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical connections (wires, pins, sockets) with printed conductive patterns on the circuit board. The electrical connections are achieved through conductive ink patterns printed directly on the board surface, eliminating mechanical fastening components and their associated positioning issues.
2Productivity
If connecting wires or metal pins are used with freedom of movement, then the circuit board can be connected to power supply, but the assembly efficiency and production yield are reduced due to inconsistent connection status
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board integrates the electrical connection function directly into its structure through printed conductive patterns. This eliminates the need for separate connecting components and their assembly steps, improving assembly efficiency and ensuring consistent connection positions across all products.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of electrical connections from mechanical components with variable positions to printed conductive patterns with fixed positions. The conductive patterns are precisely positioned during the printing process, ensuring consistent connection geometry and improving manufacturing precision.
3Ease of operation
If the circuit board uses separate connecting wires for neutral and live wires, then the electrical connection can be established, but the structural consistency and installation efficiency are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board integrates both neutral and live wire connections into a single structural component. The conductive patterns for both electrical connections are printed on the same board, eliminating the need for separate wire management and improving installation efficiency while ensuring structural consistency.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a light board structure and a bulb cap and light bulb using the same. The conductive column of the light bulb is directly fixed on the middle of the circuit board of the light board structure, so that when assembling the bulb cap of the light bulb, the conductive column and the light board structure can be assembled by one process (or in the same stage), which improves the efficiency of light bulb assembling. In this application, the light board structure is connected to the power supply by the conductive column and the conductive layer, compared with the traditional form in which conductive wires are used, the light board structure of the present disclosure has a higher integration degree, and the structural optimization of the circuit board makes the installation operation simpler and more efficient.
