Detachable Vehicle Light Assembly for Fast Signal Lamp Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The replacement of automobile signal lamps is often inconvenient and can cause damage to the original glass decorative accessories due to the need to disassemble and replace the entire glass sheet.
Innovation Solution
A light-transmitting assembly with a detachable light source assembly that includes a lampshade and a box, connected via fitting portions, allowing for easy replacement of the light-emitting element without disassembling the entire assembly, and optionally featuring a sealing ring for enhanced protection and sealing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If the entire glass sheet is replaced to change the signal lamp, then the signal lamp can be replaced, but the original glass decorative accessories are damaged and the replacement process is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The glass sheet is divided into a glass decorative accessory (remaining fixed) and a light source assembly (removable). The light source assembly includes a lampshade, box, and light-emitting element that can be detached as a unit from the glass decorative accessory, allowing replacement without damaging the original glass components.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-emitting element is extracted from the glass sheet structure and placed in a separate removable box assembly. This allows the light source to be replaced independently while the glass decorative accessory remains intact and reusable.
2Ease of repair
If the light source assembly is made detachable for easy replacement, then replacement convenience is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-transmitting assembly is segmented into a fixed glass decorative accessory and a removable light source assembly. The light source assembly is further segmented into a box containing the light-emitting element and a lampshade, connected via simple fitting portions (grooves and buckles), reducing overall structural complexity while enabling easy replacement.
3Ease of repair
If the lampshade and box are detachably connected for easy maintenance, then maintenance convenience is improved, but the connection reliability may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The light source assembly is segmented into a lampshade and a box that can be detachably connected. The connection uses fitting portions (grooves and buckles) that provide reliable mechanical engagement while allowing easy separation for maintenance. The lampshade may be fixedly connected to the glass decorative accessory while the box remains detachable.
Solution Approach 2:
A sealing ring is introduced as an intermediary component between the lampshade and box to enhance the reliability of the detachable connection. The sealing ring prevents light leakage and protects the light-emitting element while allowing the lampshade and box to remain separable for maintenance.
Data Source
AI summary
A light-transmitting assembly and a vehicle are provided in the disclosure. The light-transmitting assembly includes a light-transmitting substrate and a light source assembly. The light-transmitting substrate defines a mounting through-hole. The light source assembly is connected to the light-transmitting substrate and positioned at the mounting through-hole. The light source assembly includes a box, a lampshade, and a light-emitting element. The lampshade is detachably connected to the box. The lampshade and the box cooperatively define an accommodating space. The light-emitting element is received in the accommodating space. The light-transmitting assembly of the disclosure can be assembled and disassembled quickly and repeatedly, thereby realizing quick replacement of the light-emitting element.
