Solution Overview

Problem

Existing bicycle lights have fixed assembling structures, leading to low detachability, vulnerability to corrosion from external factors, and a short service life.

Innovation Solution

A quick disassembly structure comprising a lower assembly with a first connecting base and a fixing component, an upper assembly with a second connecting base and positioning devices, and an axial assembly with a guiding component, allowing for easy mounting and dismounting of the bicycle light, and incorporating serrated portions for positional fixation and protection against theft and corrosion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed assembling structure is used for bicycle lights, then the structural stability is improved, but the detachability deteriorates and service life shortens due to corrosion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddetachability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The bicycle light assembly is divided into separate upper and lower assemblies that can be independently detached. The upper assembly contains the light source and battery, while the lower assembly contains the connecting base and fixing component. This segmentation enables easy detachment for charging, maintenance, and theft prevention while maintaining structural stability when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing component incorporates an elastic element that enables dynamic adjustment between locked and unlocked states. When the upper assembly is inserted, the elastic component automatically engages to secure it; when detached, the elastic component returns to its original state. This dynamic mechanism provides both stability during use and ease of detachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Strength

If a fixed assembling structure is used for bicycle lights, then the structural integrity is maintained, but vulnerability to corrosion from external factors increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidcorrosion from sunlight and rain
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The light source and battery are extracted into a separate upper assembly that can be removed from the lower assembly. This allows the sensitive electronic components to be protected from environmental corrosion by detaching them when not in use, while the lower assembly remains structurally intact and protected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If a detachable structure is implemented for bicycle lights, then ease of mounting and dismounting is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of mounting and dismountingVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing component is designed to automatically engage and lock when the upper assembly is inserted into the lower assembly, without requiring manual operation. The elastic component self-activates to secure the connection, and the positioning structure self-aligns the assemblies, greatly simplifying the mounting process while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A quick disassembly structure and a bicycle light; by arranging a lower assembly and a upper assembly, and then fixing an axial component on the lower assembly, when pressing the upper assembly, the positioning device can enter the limit area to fix the upper assembly and the lower assembly; when pulling up the upper assembly, the positioning device can be disengaged from the limit area to unfix the upper assembly and the lower assembly, so that the upper assembly can be quickly mounted on the lower assembly or the upper assembly can be quickly dismounted from the lower assembly, in order to achieve a quick mount or disassembly of a bicycle light, while the bicycle light can be prevented from being interfered and corroded by external factors when not being used, and the light body can also be prevented from being stolen, thereby achieving protection of the bicycle light.
