Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional point-control copper wire lamps face issues where signal disconnection or poor welding contact between lamp beads leads to non-functional subsequent beads, and a failure in one bead affects all others, due to complex wiring and dependency between beads.
Innovation Solution
A point-control copper wire lamp design featuring lamp beads with a positive electrode, negative electrode, and signal line welding legs connected to separate lines, allowing independent operation and simplified structure, with an IC chip and controller for control instructions, enabling independent functioning and reduced dependency between beads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the signal line is disconnected between lamp beads or welding contact is poor, then the structure allows for simple disconnection and replacement, but the following lamp beads cannot receive signals and thus cannot work
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the signal transmission path into independent segments by giving each lamp bead its own signal input and output welding legs. Each bead can be independently connected or disconnected without affecting the entire string, resolving the contradiction between easy disconnection and reliable signal transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates redundant signal transmission paths with both signal input and output welding legs on each bead, preparing alternative routes in advance. If one connection fails, the signal can still reach subsequent beads through alternative paths, cushioning against connection failures.
2Reliability
If one lamp bead fails, then the failure is contained to that single bead, but the complex wiring with multiple welding legs increases manufacturing complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the electrical circuit into independent units where each lamp bead has its own positive electrode welding leg, negative electrode welding leg, and signal line welding leg. This segmentation isolates failures to individual beads while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure compared to traditional series wiring.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the signal line welding leg as an intermediary component that carries control signals independently from the power lines. This mediator allows for independent signal transmission and simplifies the control architecture, reducing overall system complexity while improving fault tolerance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the signal line needs to be disconnected for IC chip signal output, then the signal transmission can be controlled, but the welding contact reliability deteriorates due to multiple connection points
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the signal transmission function from the power supply function by using dedicated signal line welding legs. This segmentation allows independent control of signal flow without compromising the reliability of power connections, as each function has its own dedicated connection path.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the signal transmission path from the power supply path, creating an independent signal line that runs through the IC chip and connects to dedicated signal welding legs. This extraction allows for reliable controlled disconnection of signals without affecting the stability of power connections.
