With the popularity of LED light sources, the key to improve the overall quality of rechargeable backup LED lamps is to develop a constant-current driving circuit with simple structure and reliable performance, and form a standardized, standardized and modular control circuit for the characteristics of rechargeable backup LED lamps.
2. Technological renewal cycle, new product research and development cycle, market capacity and change trend
(1) technological renewal cycle
Currently, LED light sources account for more than 45% of lighting products. With a huge market prospect of LED lighting industry attracts all kinds of manufacturers to enter. With the gradual application of new technologies in this field, enterprises can only keep the advanced level of technology by constantly innovating and introducing new technologies, new processes and new materials into product applications. As a result, the industry’s technological upgrading is accelerating.
(2) New product research and development cycle
The new product development process includes:
① Investigation and research stage: The purpose of developing new products is to meet the needs of consumers. The demand of consumers is the main basis for the selection decision of new product development. This stage is mainly to put forward the idea of new products and the principle, structure, function, material and technology of new products in the development of ideas and overall scheme.
② The conception and idea stage of new product development: in this stage, according to the market demand mastered by the investigation and the conditions of the enterprise itself, fully consider the use requirements of consumers and the trend of competitors, and put forward the idea and idea of developing new products.
③ New product design stage: Product design refers to the preparation and management of a series of technical work from determining the product design specification to determine the product structure. It is an important link of product development and the beginning of the product production process. Including: preliminary design stage, technical design stage, working diagram design stage.
(4) Product trial production and evaluation stage: new product trial production stage is divided into sample trial production and small batch trial production stage. A. Sample trial production stage, the purpose is to assess product design quality, test product structure, performance and main
Process, verify and revise the design drawings, so that the product design is basically fixed, but also to verify the product structure technology, review the main process problems. B. Small batch trial production stage, the focus of this stage is process preparation, the main purpose is to test the process of the product, verify that it can guarantee the arranged technical conditions, quality and good economic effect under normal production conditions (i.e., under the conditions of the production workshop).
Production technology preparation stage: in this stage, should complete all the work diagram design, determine the technical requirements of various parts.
⑥ Formal production and sales stage.
It takes about one year to complete the process of new products from research, creative conception, design, sample trial production, technical preparation to final scale production.
(3) Market capacity and trend
In the future, the market capacity of the LED lighting industry will further expand due to the following factors:
① Policy support for the elimination of incandescent lamp at home and abroad and the improvement of people’s environmental awareness. As a substitute for incandescent lamps and other products, LED lighting products have seen increasing market penetration in recent years. In the future, LED lighting products will accelerate the replacement of traditional lighting products such as incandescent lamps and become the most important lighting tools.
(2) With the rapid development of China’s economy and the gradual increase of per capita GDP, the trend of consumption upgrading is becoming more obvious. Since the introduction of the 13th Five-Year Plan, the speed of economic development has been rising rapidly, and the structure of various types of consumption expenditure in the total consumption expenditure has gradually realized level upgrading and level improvement. The upgrading and transformation of consumption structure is driving the growth and development of LED lighting industry.
③ With the deepening of the national opening policy, the economic and trade cooperation between China and countries in the “Belt and Road” region expands constantly, which lays a good export foundation for our LED lighting industry to further break into the international market. In several segmented regional markets such as Nigeria, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and other overseas markets.
3. Technical level and characteristics of the industry
After years of development, the core technology of LED lighting products is focused on: product development and design, power board production, injection molding and so on.
(1) Product development and design
Product research and development design is mainly the product appearance design, internal structure, circuit and mold design and development. The technical features of product development and design are as follows: a. Coordinate the appearance design and internal structure of the product (such as circuit board, plastic board, etc.), and design new products that combine the lighting function of the product with other requirements of customers (such as patrol, rescue, etc.) under the premise of ensuring the stability of the light source and the continuous navigation time; b. Solve the heating and current instability of the circuit board during the use of the product; c. Study the heat conduction mechanism and principle of the mold, reduce the heat dissipation time in the mold manufacturing process, and improve production efficiency.
(2) Design and production of power supply
High quality power supply can improve the service life of products, and meet customers’ requirements for the intensity, stability and endurance of lighting products. The production technology of power supply board is as follows: the circuit passes the process of surface patch and insertion, then the preliminary production of power supply board is completed through the procedures of cleaning, welding and repair welding, and then the entire production process is completed through online detection, error recognition and error correction. The technical characteristics are reflected in the automation degree of SMT and insert technology, the high efficiency of welding and repair welding technology, and the quality detection of power supply board.
(3) mold injection molding technology
Injection molding technology is mainly used to dissolve and press plastics through special equipment, to achieve effective creep of products with precise temperature, time and pressure control, and to meet the requirements of product differentiation and personalized performance. The technical level is reflected in: (1) the level of mechanical automation, through the introduction of automation equipment, reduce the frequency of manual operation, the implementation of standardized assembly line operation mode; ② Effectively improve the quality of products and production efficiency, improve the qualified rate of products, production efficiency, reduce the cost of products.
