A strip-shaped lamp design featuring a PCB board mounted within a lamp cover with conductive components, including conducting plates and support legs, that connect to an external power supply, eliminating the need for internal wires and allowing for easy interconnection of lamps using conductive rods embedded within the lamp body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wires are used to connect the lamp to power supply, then electrical connection is achieved, but the structure becomes complicated and the lamp becomes bulky
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the wire from the lamp structure and replaces it with a conductive component that is integrally formed with the lamp body. The conductive component includes a conductive portion embedded in the lamp body and an extending portion that protrudes from the lamp body, eliminating the need for separate wires and simplifying the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the electrical connection function with the lamp body structure by making the conductive component an integral part of the lamp body. This combining of functions reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall device structure.
2Shape
If wires are hidden during assembly, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but the lamp occupies more space and becomes bulky
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive portion of the conductive component is nested within the lamp body, while the extending portion protrudes from the lamp body. This nested arrangement allows the electrical connection function to be integrated within the lamp structure without requiring additional external space.
3Reliability
If many wires are used for connection, then electrical connection is achieved, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the separate wire component and replaces it with an integrated conductive component that is formed as part of the lamp body structure, reducing material costs and simplifying the manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive component serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connection, acts as a structural element of the lamp body, and enables cascading connection between multiple lamps. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and lowers production costs.
4Reliability
If complex cascading structure is used, then lamp connection is achieved, but application range is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The extending portion of the conductive component is designed to serve as both an electrical connection terminal and a cascading connection interface. This universal design allows the same structure to be used for different connection purposes, expanding the application range of the lamp.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive component is segmented into a conductive portion embedded in the lamp body and an extending portion that protrudes from the lamp body. This segmentation allows the extending portion to serve as a standardized interface for cascading connections between multiple lamps, simplifying the connection structure and expanding adaptability.
