Solution Overview
Problem
The existing electrical connection method for artificial Christmas trees often results in deformation and bad contact of electrical plugs due to stress, leading to premature wear and tear, which affects the overall functionality and longevity of the tree.
Innovation Solution
A load-bearing type circuit connecting device with first and second inserting connectors, each with multiple electrical interfaces, is assembled within the tree sections to ensure secure and stress-free connections, utilizing bearing seats and ring parts to maintain contact integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If electrical plugs are located in tree sections and tree sections are fixed after electrical plug connection, then the electrical connection structure is simple, but the electrical plugs bear supporting and connecting functions which causes deformation and bad contact
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the electrical connection function from the mechanical support function by dividing the system into distinct components: electrical plugs remain in tree sections while separate bearing seats are installed in the main rod to provide mechanical support. This segmentation allows each component to perform its designated function without interference, preventing plug deformation while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The bearing seat acts as an intermediary component between the main rod and the electrical plugs. It transfers the mechanical load from the tree sections to the main rod through the bearing seat structure, rather than allowing the electrical plugs to directly bear the mechanical stress. This intermediary structure protects the electrical connection while enabling mechanical support.
2Ease of operation
If electrical plugs bear supporting functions during tree section insertion, then the connection process is simplified, but the electrical plugs are easy to deform and damage
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the load-bearing function from the electrical plug and assigning it to the bearing seat structure, the electrical plug is protected from mechanical stress during insertion and operation. The bearing seat absorbs the mechanical forces while the electrical plug maintains its integrity for reliable electrical connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The bearing seat is pre-installed in the main rod before tree section insertion, providing a protective structure that cushions and absorbs mechanical stresses during the insertion process. This beforehand preparation prevents the electrical plugs from experiencing deforming forces, ensuring their durability throughout the assembly process.
