Light String Wiring for Synchronized Voltage Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light string technologies using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) covered wires lack flexibility in voltage distribution and lighting configurations, limiting the ability to synchronize light emission across multiple light-emitting components effectively.
Innovation Solution
The use of multiple PVC covered wires with exposed and insulated conductors, connected to light-emitting components in various configurations, allows for synchronized light emission by distributing positive and negative voltages across the components, enabling uniform or varied color lighting through adjustable terminal connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional single-wire PVC covered wire configuration is used, then the structure is simple, but the flexibility in voltage distribution and lighting configurations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the traditional single-wire configuration into multiple separate PVC covered wires, each carrying specific conductors (live, neutral, ground). This segmentation allows independent routing and connection of each wire to different terminals of light-emitting components, enabling flexible voltage distribution and lighting configurations while maintaining clear functional separation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional wiring system where the first PVC covered wire carries the live conductor, the second PVC covered wire carries the neutral conductor, and the third PVC covered wire carries the ground conductor. This universal configuration can accommodate various lighting arrangements (series, parallel, mixed) and voltage distributions, making the system adaptable to different application requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple PVC covered wires with exposed conductors are used, then synchronized light emission and flexible configurations are enabled, but the manufacturing and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-organizing conductors within each PVC covered wire before final assembly. The conductors are arranged and insulated within the PVC covering, and exposure points are predetermined, which simplifies the subsequent assembly process and ensures proper connection to light-emitting component terminals for synchronized operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the PVC covered wires as intermediary elements that facilitate the connection between the power source and multiple light-emitting components. These wires act as mediators that organize and transmit electrical signals, making the assembly process more manageable by providing structured connection points rather than dealing with loose conductors directly.

AI summary
A light string is provided. The light string includes a plurality of light-emitting components, a first polyvinyl chloride covered wire and a second polyvinyl chloride covered wire. The light-emitting components are configured to emit light having a same color or different colors. A first polyvinyl chloride covered wire is electrically connected to a first terminal of each of the light-emitting components and a first power terminal of a power supply component. The first polyvinyl chloride covered wire receives a first voltage from the first power terminal of the power supply component. The second polyvinyl chloride covered wire is electrically connected to a second terminal of each of the light-emitting components and a second power terminal of the power supply component. The second polyvinyl chloride covered wire receives a second voltage from the second power terminal of the power supply component.
