Detachable Sensing Module for Lighting Design Flexibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sensing lamps have limited design flexibility and usability due to non-detachably fixed sensing modules, which complicate wiring and increase production costs and defects, while separately located sensing modules restrict industrial design and user-friendly adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A detachable sensing module with integrated sensors, control circuits, and parameter adjusting elements, allowing for easy installation and adjustment, simplifying wiring, and enhancing design flexibility by concealing adjusting elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the sensing module is non-detachably fixed inside the light body, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity increases and manufacturing precision requirements are heightened
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing module is divided into a separate detachable component from the light body, allowing independent installation and removal. This segmentation simplifies the overall wiring structure within each component while reducing manufacturing precision requirements for the complete assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensing module is extracted from the internal structure of the light body and positioned as an external detachable unit. This extraction eliminates the need for complex internal wiring integration and reduces the structural complexity of the main light body.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the sensing module is separately located from the light body, then the design flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional wiring
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the sensing module as a separate unit with its own integrated wiring and control circuit, the patent enables flexible positioning at different locations (top, bottom, or side of the light body) without increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable sensing module is designed as a universal component that can be installed at multiple positions and configurations, providing adaptability for different design requirements while maintaining a standardized connection interface that simplifies wiring.
3Ease of operation
If the parameter adjusting elements are exposed on the back plate surface, then the ease of operation is improved, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The parameter adjusting elements are nested within the sensing module housing rather than being exposed on the external back plate surface. Users can access these elements by opening or removing the sensing module cover, thereby maintaining a clean aesthetic appearance while preserving full adjustment functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensing module employs a cover or housing structure that can be opened or removed to expose the parameter adjusting elements during operation, then closed to provide a smooth, aesthetically pleasing external surface when not in use.
