Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED lighting systems lack user-friendly and durable designs for lens replacement and maintenance, particularly in challenging environments, leading to increased maintenance time and risk of component loss.
Innovation Solution
A lighting apparatus with a secure lens cover attachment mechanism using a connector and elastic block, allowing easy access and secure closure, combined with a rotatable light wing and multiple convex-concave lens structures for uniform light distribution, and a quick lens replacement feature via a through-slot track and detachable end cap.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a secure lens cover attachment mechanism is used, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: connectors attached to the light wing, elastic blocks integrated into the lens cover, and through-slot tracks in the light wing. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, achieving reliable attachment while keeping the overall design manageable through modular functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic blocks automatically engage with the connectors through the through-slot tracks without requiring additional fastening operations. When the lens cover is positioned, the elastic blocks self-lock into place, providing secure attachment that maintains reliability while avoiding complex manual assembly procedures.
2Ease of operation
If easy access for lens replacement is provided, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The lens plate is extracted as a separate, easily removable component through the lens opening. The lens cover can be quickly opened to access and remove the lens plate without disassembling the entire lighting apparatus, improving ease of operation while maintaining system integrity through the secure attachment mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The lens cover transitions between a closed secure state (when attached to the light wing) and an open accessible state (when removed). This dynamic design allows the system to switch between reliability and ease of operation modes as needed, with the secure attachment ensuring component security during operation and easy accessibility during maintenance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple lens positions are provided, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The through-slot track serves multiple functions: it guides the lens cover to precise positions, provides structural support, and enables the lens plate to be secured at different locations. This multi-functional design achieves adaptability for various lens positions while avoiding the need for separate mechanisms for each function, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances safety and efficiency in lens replacement, reduces maintenance time, and ensures consistent light quality and durability, making it suitable for industrial and commercial settings.
Implementation Method 1
the first lens cover further has a first attaching unit. The first attaching unit and the first connector are disposed on two sides of the first lens cover. The first attaching unit and the first connector together attach the first lens cover to conceal the first lens entrance. In some embodiments, the first attaching unit is an elastic block to squeeze into a lock hole aside the first lens entrance.

AI summary
A lighting apparatus includes a driver housing, and first and second light wings each coupled to two sides of the driver housing. Each light wing includes a lens plate, an LED module for emitting light through the lens plate and out a light opening, a lens entrance for receiving the lens into the light wing, and a lens cover for concealing the lens entrance. The first and second light wings are adjustable with respect to the driver housing.
