Detachable Sub-Post Street Lamp for Compact Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional photovoltaic street lamps have a large footprint and high transportation costs due to separate components, making mounting and transportation cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A lamp with an integrated structure featuring a detachable lamp post, photovoltaic panels mounted on the outer surface, and an energy storage device housed within a sub-post, allowing for disassembly and reduced footprint during transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the lamp post is designed as an integrated structure, then the structural strength and stability are improved, but the transportation cost and footprint increase
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp post is divided into multiple detachable sub-posts that can be assembled during installation and disassembled during transportation. This segmentation allows the structure to maintain strength when assembled while reducing footprint and transportation costs when disassembled, effectively resolving the contradiction between structural integrity and transportation efficiency
2Stability of the object's composition
If the lamp post is designed as an integrated structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of transportation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated lamp post is segmented into multiple sub-posts connected by connection members, enabling easy disassembly for transportation while maintaining structural stability when assembled. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the structure to be stable during operation but easy to transport during relocation
3Ease of repair
If the photovoltaic street lamp components are mounted separately on the lamp post, then the ease of maintenance is improved, but the transportation footprint increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp post is segmented into sub-posts that can be disassembled, allowing components to be accessed for maintenance while also enabling compact packing during transportation. The connection members facilitate both easy assembly/disassembly for maintenance and compact configuration for transportation, resolving the contradiction between maintenance accessibility and transportation efficiency
