Ceiling Light Assembly with Hidden Audio Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ceiling fittings and sound devices are mounted independently, wasting space, complicating assembly, and decreasing aesthetic quality due to separate installation and wiring, and lack integration of lighting and audio functions.
Innovation Solution
A ceiling light assembly with a hidden-type sound device, featuring a base, first and second illuminating modules, and an audio device where the audio device is concealed within the assembly, using a support unit with sound guiding holes to integrate audio and lighting functions while maintaining a compact structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the audio device is hidden in the interior of the ceiling light assembly, then the aesthetic quality is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The audio device is nested within the interior space of the ceiling light assembly, specifically positioned in the support unit between the first and second illuminating modules. This nesting approach allows the audio device to be concealed from external view while being integrated into the overall structure, thereby enhancing aesthetic quality without requiring a completely separate installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The ceiling light assembly is designed to perform multiple functions: lighting (via first and second illuminating modules) and audio playback (via the audio device). By making the ceiling light assembly a multi-functional device that incorporates both lighting and audio capabilities, the patent eliminates the need for separate installations, thereby enhancing aesthetic quality while the modular design manages the increased functionality.
2Volume of moving object
If the ceiling light assembly has a compact structure, then the wiring space is saved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the lighting and audio devices into a single integrated ceiling light assembly with a compact structure. The support unit serves as a common mounting structure that holds both the audio device and the second illuminating module, while the base accommodates the first illuminating module. This merging reduces the overall volume and wiring space compared to separate installations.
Solution Approach 2:
The ceiling light assembly is segmented into modular components: a base for mounting the first illuminating module, a support unit with bottom and top supports that houses the audio device and second illuminating module, and sound guiding holes in the bottom support. This segmentation allows for standardized manufacturing of individual modules with precise dimensions, facilitating assembly while managing manufacturing precision requirements.
3Ease of operation
If the ceiling fitting and sound device are mounted independently, then the assembly process is simple, but the mounting space is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the ceiling fitting and sound device into a single integrated ceiling light assembly that mounts to the ceiling as one unit. The base and support unit together form a unified mounting structure that occupies less ceiling space than two separate devices would require, while the modular design maintains relatively simple assembly procedures.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the ceiling fitting and sound device are arranged respectively, then the individual device functionality is maintained, but the aesthetic quality decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The ceiling light assembly is designed as a multi-functional device that maintains the independent functionality of both lighting and audio components while presenting a unified aesthetic appearance. The first and second illuminating modules provide lighting functions, while the audio device provides audio playback, all integrated within a single ceiling-mounted unit that enhances overall aesthetic quality compared to separate installations.
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 aesthetic quality by hiding the audio device, simplifies assembly and wiring, and provides a compact integrated solution for both lighting and audio functions.
Implementation Method 1
The bottom support is provided with a plurality of sound guiding holes. The sound guiding holes of the bottom support are connected to an exterior of the ceiling light assembly and an interior space of the support unit.

AI summary
A ceiling light assembly includes a base, a first illuminating module mounted on the base, a support unit mounted on the base, a second illuminating module mounted on the support unit, and an audio device mounted on the support unit. The first illuminating module surrounds the support unit. The second illuminating module is located under the audio device and is exposed outward from the support unit. Thus, the audio device is hidden in the interior of the ceiling light assembly and is not directly exposed to the ambient environment, so that the audio device is invisible during the audio playing process, to prevent the user from directly seeing the audio device.
