Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mechanical fastening or screwing connector is adopted to realize circuit connection, then connection solidity is improved, but appearance integrity and luminous uniformity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the mechanical fastening and screwing operations from the connection process, replacing them with a piercing-based electrical connection method. The connector housing and conducting needle are designed to pierce directly through the light strip and connecting plug, eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners that would disrupt the appearance and cause uneven luminous emission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical fastening/screwing system with an electrical piercing system. Instead of using mechanical threads or clips to secure the connection, the conducting needle pierces through the components to establish both mechanical and electrical connection simultaneously, achieving solidity without compromising appearance integrity.
2Ease of operation
If power cord insertion method is used for circuit connection, then ease of operation is improved, but connection solidity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the electrical connection function with the mechanical connection structure. The conducting needle serves dual purposes: it establishes the electrical circuit while simultaneously providing mechanical anchoring through the piercing action. This integration ensures that the connection is both convenient to operate and solidly secured, eliminating the weakness of simple plug insertion.
3Ease of operation
If conducting needle pierces light strip for electrical connection, then ease of operation and appearance integrity are improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connector housing is designed as a universal component that integrates multiple functions: it houses the conducting needle, provides structural support, ensures proper alignment during piercing, and maintains electrical insulation. This multi-functional design simplifies the overall connection structure by consolidating several components into one, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity despite the advanced piercing mechanism.

AI summary
A connecting assembly for light strip and a light strip with it are provided. The connecting assembly for light strip comprises: a connecting plug having a first hole suitable for a shape of a light strip for connecting the light strip; a connector, having a connector housing detachably connectable to the connecting plug, and a conducting needle that pierces the light strip and realizes an electrical connection with the light strip. The connection method of a conducting needle piercing into a light strip to realize the circuit connection between the light strips provided in the present disclosure is more convenient to use; the method of a connecting plug firstly connecting the light strip and then connecting to the connector makes the overall connection more solid, and the connection method is easier, and the shapes of the connecting plug and the connector are similar to that of the light strip, so as to make the light strip after connection more integral.
