Solution Overview

Problem

The existing manufacturing methods for LED lamps require a prefabricated frame mold for the white frame, leading to increased costs and the need for new molds when the shape of the frame needs to be changed, limiting flexibility and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method of manufacturing a multichip package structure that forms a semidrying surrounding light-reflecting frame without using any frame mold, by naturally drying a surrounding liquid colloid on a substrate body to create a convex or concave junction, allowing for adjustable light-projecting angles and increased light-emitting efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a prefabricated frame mold is used to manufacture the white frame, then the frame structure can be formed, but the manufacturing cost increases and the flexibility to change frame shapes is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidflexibility to change frame shape
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state of the colloid material from liquid to solid through controlled drying processes. The colloid is applied in liquid form to allow easy shaping and molding, then dried to form the solid white frame structure. This parameter change enables both cost reduction (no expensive molds needed) and shape flexibility (can be formed into any configuration).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical molding system (frame molds) with a chemical/physical process (colloid drying). Instead of using mechanical molds to shape the white frame, the invention uses a liquid colloid that is deposited and then dried to form the desired shape, eliminating the need for mechanical molding equipment and associated costs.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If a prefabricated frame mold is used, then the white frame can be formed with consistent shape, but new molds must be developed when shape changes are needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe shape consistencyVSAvoidmold development time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical molding system with a colloid-based forming process. The liquid colloid can be precisely controlled during deposition to achieve consistent shapes, and any shape changes can be made by simply adjusting the deposition process rather than developing new physical molds, eliminating mold development time.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the colloid in liquid form before drying, allowing the shape to be established during the liquid state when it is most easily formed and adjusted. This preliminary shaping action in liquid form ensures precision while maintaining flexibility for future modifications without requiring new molds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If surrounding liquid colloid is naturally dried to form a semidrying surrounding light-reflecting frame, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but the drying process must be controlled to achieve proper structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidcolloid drying control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary shaping of the colloid while in liquid form before drying occurs. This allows the structure to be established when the material is most pliable and easy to control, ensuring manufacturing precision is achieved during the liquid state, which then maintains its form during the drying process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the phase transition of the colloid from liquid to solid through controlled drying. By understanding and controlling this phase transition, the invention achieves both cost reduction (simple drying process) and manufacturing precision (controlled transition from liquid shaping to solid structure formation).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions
