Solution Overview

Problem

The connection of multiple-pin light-emitting lines is complex, time-consuming, and prone to disorder, leading to increased costs and reduced production efficiency, and the use of line combs affects the appearance and functionality of light-emitting lines.

Innovation Solution

A light-emitting row-type connection line assembly featuring two connectors with spaced ports and slots, covered by a coating layer to organize light-emitting lines into a row, eliminating the need for conventional line combs and enhancing production efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple light-emitting lines are connected using conventional methods with line combs, then the connection can be achieved, but the process becomes complicated, time-consuming, and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidconnection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple light-emitting lines into a single integrated assembly where multiple lines are bundled together and connected to multiple pins on a connector simultaneously. This eliminates the need for separate connection operations for each line, thereby improving productivity and reducing process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The light-emitting lines are pre-arranged and pre-connected to the connector in a organized manner before final installation. The lines are positioned and secured to the connector pins in advance, which simplifies the final connection process and reduces on-site installation time and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple light-emitting lines are connected using conventional methods, then connection is achieved, but the lines are prone to cross and disorder

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline arrangement stabilityVSAvoidline management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple light-emitting lines are merged into a single bundled assembly that maintains fixed relative positions. This integration prevents individual lines from crossing or becoming disordered, as they are held together as a unified structure with stable spatial relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Shape

If a line comb is used to fix and sort light-emitting lines, then the lines can be organized, but the appearance of the light-emitting line is affected and production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveappearance qualityVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the line comb component from the system. Instead of using a separate line comb to organize the lines, the design integrates line organization directly into the connector structure, where multiple pins provide inherent guidance and positioning for the light-emitting lines, thereby improving appearance and reducing cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
