Concentric Terminal Waterproofing for Lamp Module Groups
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamp and speaker module groups lack effective waterproofing solutions, especially when installed in outdoor environments, leading to potential damage and increased maintenance costs.
Innovation Solution
The proposed electronic module group includes a housing with a concentric terminal configuration that allows for rotational coaxial power connection, heat conduction, and waterproofing, ensuring that the power supply driving module and LED lamp board are sealed and protected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a module group without waterproof function is installed in the lamp housing, then the structure is simple and cost-effective, but the reliability deteriorates when used in outdoor environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the waterproof function directly into the module group by incorporating a waterproof ring at the connection interface between the first and second housings. This merging of waterproofing features into the modular component itself resolves the contradiction by providing reliable outdoor performance without requiring complex external waterproof housing structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The waterproof ring acts as an intermediary element that seals the connection interface between modular components. This mediator provides effective waterproof protection at the critical junction point, enabling the module group to achieve reliable outdoor performance while maintaining structural simplicity through standardized modular design.
2Reliability
If the entire lamp housing is replaced when the module group fails, then the reliability is maintained, but the loss of substance increases due to waste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lamp system into separable modular components (module group and housing) with standardized connection interfaces. This segmentation enables independent replacement of the module group when it fails, while the housing can be retained and reused, thereby maintaining system reliability while significantly reducing material waste compared to replacing the entire assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular design enables selective discarding of only the failed module group while recovering and reusing the functional housing. This approach directly addresses the contradiction by allowing maintenance of reliable system performance through component replacement while minimizing substance loss through housing reuse.
3Ease of repair
If the module group is designed as a single integrated unit, then the manufacturing precision is easier to control, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the lamp system into a replaceable module group and a permanent housing with standardized connection interfaces. This segmentation dramatically improves ease of repair by enabling quick removal and replacement of the module group, while the modular structure maintains manageable complexity through standardized connection mechanisms and clear functional separation.
