Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LED lamps have immovable power supplies, making adjustments difficult, and their long design complicates assembly due to pin connection issues, leading to increased packaging costs and assembly challenges.

Innovation Solution

A lamp tube design featuring detachable lamp head mounters with mounting portions and guiding ramps, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and a power supply within the lamp body that can be adjusted post-assembly, along with short connection pins for simplified wiring.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the power supply is positioned inside the sealed lamp body, then the lamp structure is compact and integrated, but the power supply cannot be accessed or adjusted after assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelamp structure integrationVSAvoidpower supply accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp is divided into separate modular components: a lamp body containing the power supply, and a lamp head with connection pins. The lamp head mounter acts as an interface between these modules. This segmentation allows the power supply to be enclosed in the lamp body while still enabling access through the detachable lamp head assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp head mounter provides a dynamic, detachable connection between the lamp body and lamp head. This dynamic interface allows the lamp head to be removed and reattached, providing access to the power supply when needed while maintaining an integrated structure during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Length of stationary object

If the lamp head is designed with a long structure, then the connection pins can reach the lamp body, but the assembly operation becomes difficult and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelamp head lengthVSAvoidassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection function is segmented from the lamp head structure itself. Instead of having long connection pins integrated into the lamp head, the connection pins are positioned on the lamp head mounter, which serves as an intermediate component. This segmentation allows for shorter, more manageable connection pin lengths while maintaining functional connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp head mounter acts as an intermediary component between the lamp head and lamp body. It provides mounting portions that facilitate the connection of the lamp head to the lamp body, and positions the connection pins optimally for easy insertion into the lamp body without requiring an excessively long lamp head structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If connection pins are located on fixed lamp heads, then the electrical connection is stable, but additional packaging materials are needed to protect the connection pins, increasing packaging costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection stabilityVSAvoidpackaging material quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The connection pins are segmented from the main lamp body and positioned on the detachable lamp head mounter assembly. This allows the connection pins to be protected as part of the lamp head assembly during shipping, rather than requiring separate protective packaging materials. The detachable nature of the lamp head mounter maintains connection stability while simplifying packaging requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
