Battery Box Recess for Strip Light Fixture Wall Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery boxes for light-fixtures, especially strip-like designs, often protrude and make it difficult to mount them against a wall vertically due to their shape, and they lack adequate waterproof sealing and durability.
Innovation Solution
A battery box body with a recessed design that accommodates the light-fixture, featuring a battery compartment and circuit board compartment with articulating covers and clamping mechanisms for secure and easy mounting, along with seal rings for waterproofing, allowing the battery box to be hidden and securely attached to the wall.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a common battery box structure in an ordinary shape is used, then the battery box can be easily manufactured, but the light-fixture is uplifted ponderously and cannot be conveniently placed against the wall vertically
Solution Approach 1:
The battery box is divided into multiple compartments: a battery compartment, a circuit board compartment, and a recess. This segmentation allows each part to serve its specific function while contributing to the overall lightweight and space-efficient design that enables convenient wall placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery box utilizes a three-dimensional recessed structure that extends inward from the outer wall. This dimensional change creates a compact profile that allows the light-fixture to be placed vertically against the wall without protruding ponderously, while still accommodating all necessary components.
2Shape
If the battery box is placed between the light-fixture and the wall body to hide it, then the battery box is concealed, but the long wires between the battery box and the light-fixture must lead out
Solution Approach 1:
The wire outlet is nested within the recessed structure of the battery box, allowing wires to exit through a concealed passage. This nesting approach hides the wire management system within the battery box's three-dimensional structure, maintaining aesthetic integration while managing wire complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The recess acts as an intermediary space between the battery box and the light-fixture, providing a concealed pathway for wire routing. This intermediary structure allows wires to lead out without compromising the hidden placement of the battery box between the light-fixture and wall body.
3Ease of operation
If the battery cover and battery compartment are quickly locked in an openable and closeable manner, then convenience of battery change is improved, but waterproof sealing property may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cover is designed with dynamic locking mechanisms (clamping hooks and clamping parts) that can quickly engage and disengage. This dynamic system allows convenient battery changes while maintaining a secure, hermetic seal when closed, balancing ease of operation with waterproof reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional permanent mechanical fastening systems with a quick-release locking mechanism featuring clamping hooks and clamping parts. This substitution enables easy battery replacement while maintaining hermetic sealing through the interlocked micro-bump parts that create a tight seal without permanent attachment.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the battery box is designed to match special shapes of the light-fixtures, then mounting and fixation are improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The battery box employs universal mounting features including articulating columns and articulating buckles that can adapt to various light-fixture shapes and mounting positions. These multi-functional components provide versatile mounting capabilities without requiring complex custom designs for each specific light-fixture configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The articulating columns and buckles provide dynamic, adjustable mounting capabilities that can accommodate different light-fixture shapes and orientations. This dynamic adaptability allows the battery box to match special shapes of light-fixtures without requiring complex fixed structural designs.

AI summary
The invention discloses a battery box body for a light-fixture which comprises a battery box, wherein the battery box is provided with a battery compartment, a circuit board compartment as well as a battery cover and a circuit board cover which hermetically cover the battery compartment and the circuit board compartment in a matching manner, respectively. A recess capable of avoiding and accommodating a light-fixture is arranged in the outer wall of the battery box in an inwardly concave manner. The battery box structure can be matched and combined with a strip-like light-fixture in use, and the recess on the outer wall of the battery box structure can correspondingly accommodate the light-fixture, so that the battery box and the light-fixture are matched with each other and hung on the wall.
