Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light-emitting wheel structures face issues with electric wire damage due to rotation and have complex, costly production processes.
Innovation Solution
A wheel structure with a fixed shaft, a rotating rim, a light base structure fixedly connected to the shaft, and a light cover that includes a light strip mounting base with an embedded LED light strip, which is protected by an annular groove and troughs, and a wire placement groove to secure the electric wire, preventing damage and simplifying the structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the light-emitting structure is fixedly connected with the rim, then the light can be emitted when the wheel rotates, but the electric wire is easily damaged due to rotation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the wheel structure into rotating parts (rim with light-emitting structure) and stationary parts (light base structure fixed to shaft). The electric wire is routed through the stationary light base structure, separating the rotating light emission function from the wire connection, thus preventing wire damage during rotation.
Solution Approach 2:
The light base structure acts as an intermediary between the rotating rim and the stationary power source. It provides a fixed mounting point for the light strip and serves as a conduit for the electric wire, isolating the wire from the rotating motion while enabling continuous light emission.
2Illumination intensity
If the light-emitting structure is fixedly connected with the rim, then the light can be emitted during rotation, but the structure becomes complicated and production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the light strip mounting function and the wire routing function into a single integrated light base structure. This consolidation simplifies the overall design by eliminating separate mounting brackets and wire management components, reducing structural complexity while maintaining light emission capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The light base structure serves multiple functions: it mounts the light strip, routes the electric wire, and provides structural support. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, simplifying the overall structure and lowering production costs.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wheels. It discloses a wheel structure with circular light emission which includes a fixed shaft, a hub that rotates about the fixed shaft, a light base structure fixedly connected with the fixed shaft, and a light cover protecting the light base structure. The light base structure includes a light strip mounting base and a light strip looped around the light strip mounting base. In this way, the light strip emits light which can create a cool effect when in use. The light base structure is fixedly connected with the fixed shaft so that the light base structure is fixed and damaging of electric wires due to rotation can be prevented. This can improve service life of the product, simplify its structure, lower its production cost, and provide great convenience to the user.
