Solution Overview

Problem

Existing luminous gloves with LED lamp beads connected by wires face issues such as wire breakage, safety hazards due to pin-type LEDs, and limited comfort and applicability due to concentrated luminous points and small luminous areas.

Innovation Solution

A wire-free LED luminous glove design featuring LED lamp beads welded directly onto an electronic board structure with a control chip and power supply, using a combination of hard and flexible printed circuit boards, and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber light guide strips for improved stability, comfort, and light distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pin-type LED lamp beads are connected through electronic wires with cross overlapping welding, then the luminous glove can meet general use requirements, but the electronic wires are easily broken during actual wearing and usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire stabilityVSAvoidwire structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the electronic wires from the system entirely, extracting the problematic connection medium. LED lamp beads are directly mounted on the glove body without wires, eliminating wire breakage issues while maintaining LED lighting functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the LED mounting structure directly with the glove body, integrating the lighting function into the glove structure itself. This eliminates the separate wire connection system and reduces overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If pin-type LED lamp beads are used for connection, then the LED lamp beads can be connected to control circuit, but the pin is easy to penetrate the glove when in use, creating safety hazards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidsafety hazard
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the pin-type connection structure from the system. By eliminating wire-based connections with exposed pins, the safety hazard of pin penetration is removed while alternative mounting methods ensure stable LED attachment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mounting structure between the LED and glove body that eliminates direct pin penetration. This intermediary structure provides safe electrical connection without exposing sharp pins that could penetrate the glove

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If LED lamp beads are connected by electronic wires, then the control circuit can be implemented, but the glove has concentrated luminous points and small luminous area, affecting comfort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous comfortVSAvoidconnection structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lighting system into multiple distributed LED lamp beads mounted directly on the glove body. This segmentation creates multiple luminous points across the glove surface, expanding the overall luminous area and improving light distribution for enhanced comfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from wire-based three-dimensional routing to a two-dimensional surface mounting approach. LED lamp beads are distributed across the glove surface in different dimensions, creating expanded luminous coverage and more uniform light distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
