String Light Body Assembly for Precise Plug Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing string light assembly methods face difficulties in aligning and installing light-emitting bodies due to the design of conventional terminals, leading to low assembly efficiency and increased complexity.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of power connecting ports on the terminals that protrude from the terminal bodies, allowing for adjustable alignment and insertion into the lampshade openings, combined with rotatable plugs and handle pieces for easier assembly, facilitates quick plug-in connections of light-emitting bodies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the terminal B port is designed as a flat port for insertion into the lampshade opening, then the terminal can be simply structured, but it becomes difficult to adjust the position of the light-emitting body and align with the plug socket during assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static flat port into a rotatable plug structure. The plug can rotate within the terminal body, allowing the operator to dynamically adjust the insertion angle and direction. This dynamic capability enables the plug to align with the socket opening from different angles, significantly improving ease of operation during assembly while maintaining simple terminal structure.
2Illumination intensity
If the light-emitting body is made as a long strip shape to provide sufficient lighting, then the lighting coverage is improved, but the light-emitting body swings during assembly making it more difficult to assemble
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by providing a supporting structure that pre-establishes positional constraints for the light-emitting body before the actual assembly operation. The support structure includes positioning features that guide the long strip-shaped light-emitting body into its correct position, preventing swinging during assembly. This allows the light-emitting body to maintain its extended form for adequate lighting coverage while eliminating assembly difficulties.
3Manufacturing precision
If the power connecting port is deeply inserted into the lampshade opening to facilitate alignment, then the alignment precision is improved, but the connection joint becomes more vulnerable to fractures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the connection structure into multiple components: the power connecting port, the terminal body, and the supporting structure. The supporting structure acts as an intermediate segment that provides mechanical reinforcement to the connection joint. This segmentation allows the power connecting port to be deeply inserted for precise alignment while the supporting structure compensates for the increased fracture risk by providing additional structural support.

AI summary
A light body, a string light, and an assembling method of the string light that relate to a technical field of string light assembling technology are disclosed. Two light-emitting body connecting structures are connected with the lampshade, and a light-emitting body is fixed in the lampshade. The two light-emitting body connecting structures are electrically connected with the light-emitting body, Through power connecting ports respectively protruded from the light-emitting body connecting structures, the two light-emitting body connecting structures are movable in openings of the lampshade to adjust positions thereof. Therefore, the two light-emitting body connecting structures are plugged with power connecting plugs of the light-emitting body, which effectively realizes quickly installation of the light-emitting body in the lampshade and improves assembly efficiency.
