Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional decorated tree wiring methods require excessive materials and labor, are costly, prone to wire breakage, and pose safety risks due to complex and repetitive winding, which can lead to circuit overload and fire hazards.
Innovation Solution
A decorated tree connecting device comprising upper and lower connecting sockets with copper connecting pieces and elastic copper connecting pieces, allowing for quick assembly and electrical connection of lamp wires by inserting these sockets onto the tree's trunk structure, reducing the need for extensive winding and enhancing stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional winding method is used to arrange lamp wires around the decorated tree, then the decorative effect can be achieved, but excessive materials and labor are required, increasing cost and complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the continuous wire winding process into discrete connection points at the trunk. Instead of winding wire continuously around the entire tree, the wire is connected at segmented locations (upper and lower connection points on the trunk), simplifying the operation while maintaining the decorative effect.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection sockets and copper connecting pieces are pre-installed on the trunk structure before the decorated tree is assembled. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex on-site wiring operations, as users only need to connect pre-prepared wire segments to the pre-installed connection points.
2Reliability
If repeated winding of wires is performed to achieve complete coverage, then decorative effect is improved, but material consumption and labor cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential function of wire connection from the continuous winding process. Instead of requiring wire to be wound repeatedly around the entire tree, only the essential connection function is retained at the trunk location, eliminating redundant wire usage while maintaining circuit reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
Copper connecting pieces are pre-installed in the connection sockets on the trunk before use. This preliminary preparation allows for direct connection of wire segments without requiring repeated winding and connection operations, reducing both material consumption and ensuring reliable electrical connections.
3Ease of operation
If longer wires are used to cover the entire decorated tree, then complete decoration is achieved, but the probability of wire breakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the continuous wire into shorter sections that are connected at the trunk location. Instead of using one long wire that spans the entire tree, the wire is divided into manageable segments that connect at the upper and lower connection points, reducing the risk of breakage while maintaining assembly ease.
4Ease of manufacture
If multiple connecting plugs and wires are arranged by consumers, then complete circuit connection is achieved, but safety risks increase due to potential wrong operation and circuit overload
Solution Approach 1:
The connection sockets and copper connecting pieces are pre-installed and pre-configured on the trunk structure before the product reaches the consumer. This preliminary preparation ensures that the electrical connection system is already in the correct configuration, eliminating the risk of consumer error during assembly and preventing circuit overload from improper connections.
