Adjustable Downlight Spring Mount for Easier Assembly and Smaller Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spring systems in downlights are cumbersome to adjust and cannot be installed later, leading to increased packaging dimensions and costs.
Innovation Solution
A spring-adjustable LED light fixture with a housing, spring bodies, and symmetrical spring installation bases, featuring a V-shaped spring with an edgefold that slides into a spring insert block and is limited by an inclined surface for easy assembly, along with a conical wall for easy face ring replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If springs are fixed by a bracket with metal tubes of different sizes, then the spring position can be adjusted, but the operation is cumbersome and efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The spring support structure is divided into a spring holder with multiple spring installation positions and a spring that can be installed at different positions. This segmentation allows the spring to be quickly repositioned by simply changing its installation location on the holder, eliminating the need to disassemble and reassemble metal tubes of different sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring holder is pre-designed with multiple spring installation positions before the product is used. This preliminary preparation of different installation positions enables quick adjustment of spring positions without requiring complex assembly operations during use, thereby improving operational efficiency.
2Device complexity
If the spring cannot be installed later, then the structure is simple, but the packaging dimensions and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The spring system is segmented into a spring holder (with multiple installation positions) and a separate spring component. This allows the spring to be installed later after the main fixture assembly, reducing the required packaging volume while maintaining structural simplicity through the modular holder design.
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple downlights are installed to create a warm feeling, then the oppressive feeling of space is reduced, but the space occupation and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The downlight incorporates an adjustable spring mechanism that allows dynamic positioning of the light fixture. This enables a single downlight to be repositioned to different locations and orientations to optimize lighting distribution and create warm atmospheric effects, reducing the need for multiple fixed downlights.
