Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED panel lamps have limited versatility due to fixed size requirements, making it difficult to install smaller lamps in spaces designed for larger ones, resulting in poor adaptability and installation challenges.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates a lamp panel fixed between two lateral supports with a locking mechanism, including studs and rotating locking pieces, and baffles with anti-collapse members to securely attach the lamp panel, allowing for flexible installation and accommodating different sizes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the lamp panel size is fixed to match the installation space, then the installation stability is improved, but the versatility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation stabilityVSAvoidlamp size adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The lateral supports are designed with adjustable mechanisms that allow the distance between them to be changed. The locking mechanism can secure the lamp panel at multiple positions, enabling the same support structure to adapt to different lamp panel sizes while maintaining stable installation for each configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The lateral supports and locking mechanism are designed as universal components that can accommodate various lamp panel sizes. The adjustable structure allows a single mounting device to serve multiple functions across different installation scenarios, eliminating the need for size-specific mounting hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp panel size is reduced for better adaptability, then the versatility is improved, but the structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelamp size adaptabilityVSAvoidinstallation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustable lateral supports dynamically adapt to smaller lamp panel sizes by reducing the distance between them, while the locking mechanism ensures that once positioned, the smaller configuration maintains the same level of installation stability as larger configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure allows changes in the parameter of lateral support spacing to match different lamp panel sizes. By adjusting this parameter and securing it with the locking mechanism, the system maintains optimal stability regardless of the lamp panel size being installed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If a fixed mounting structure is used, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting structure simplicityVSAvoidlamp size adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The lateral supports incorporate adjustable elements that allow the mounting structure to change configuration for different lamp sizes, while the overall design remains relatively simple and manufacturable using standard fabrication processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is divided into modular components including lateral supports, locking mechanisms, and adjustment elements. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently using simple processes, while the combination provides adaptable functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
