Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If connecting plates and screws are used to splice linear lamps, then the connection strength is sufficient, but the splicing operation becomes troublesome and splicing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing efficiencyVSAvoidsplicing operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical connection system (connecting plates and screws) with a magnetic connection system. The magnetic modules generate magnetic attraction forces to hold the linear lamps together, eliminating the need for screws and connecting plates, thereby simplifying the splicing operation and improving splicing efficiency while maintaining sufficient connection strength.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes the complex mechanical fastening components (screws and connecting plates) from the splicing system, retaining only the essential magnetic attraction mechanism. This extraction simplifies the overall structure and operation while achieving the same functional goal of connecting linear lamps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If magnetic modules are used for splicing, then splicing efficiency is improved, but additional magnetic components are added to the structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the magnetic connection function with the existing end structures of the linear lamps. The magnetic modules are integrated into the lamp body design, combining the lighting function and the connection function into a unified structure, thereby minimizing additional complexity while achieving efficient splicing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic modules serve multiple functions: they provide the magnetic attraction force for connection, enable alignment of adjacent linear lamps, and facilitate easy assembly and disassembly. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and simplifies the overall system.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If positioning structures are added for alignment, then splicing accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing accuracyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structures work automatically under the magnetic attraction force to align the adjacent linear lamps. The magnetic force itself drives the positioning blocks into the positioning grooves, eliminating the need for external alignment tools or complex adjustment mechanisms, thereby achieving high splicing accuracy with minimal additional complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
