Annular Light Source Module with Integrated Driver Housing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting fixtures have separate light sources and power components that are difficult to detach and reassemble, leading to complications during replacement and potential structural weaknesses.
Innovation Solution
An integrated light source module with an annular light source substrate, light emitting units, a driving power component, and a light distribution element, where the driving power component is housed within the module and connected to the light source substrate, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and featuring a magnetic mounting system for secure installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If light source and driving power component are separate components assembled to lighting fixture, then ease of replacement is improved, but structural strength and assembly reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the light source and driving power component into a single modular light source module that can be easily assembled and disassembled as one unit, maintaining structural integrity while enabling easy replacement without compromising the strength of individual components
2Adaptability or versatility
If light source and driving power component are separately assembled to lighting fixture, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and assembly difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lighting system into distinct functional modules: a light source module containing both the light source and driving power component, and a lighting fixture. This segmentation allows each module to be independently designed, manufactured, and assembled, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The light source module is designed as a universal component that can be applied to different lighting fixture types, enabling the same module to serve multiple functions and applications while simplifying the overall device structure
3Strength
If light source module uses integrated design, then structural strength is improved, but ease of manufacture deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The light source module is further segmented into sub-components including the light source, driving power component, and housing, which can be manufactured separately using standard processes and then assembled, maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving structural strength through integrated assembly

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a light source module and a lighting device. The light source module includes an annular light source substrate, which is enclosed to form a housing region, and the light source module further includes a plurality of light emitting units disposed on a surface of the light source substrate, a driving power component disposed in the housing region and electrically connected with the light source substrate, and a light distribution element. The light distribution element includes an annular optical portion covering the light source substrate, a drive housing portion housing the driving power component and disposed in the housing region, and at least two connection portions connecting the drive housing portion to the optical portion. The at least two connection portions divide the housing region into at least two separated spaces.
