Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamp body splicing technologies require high matching accuracy, are inflexible, and unsuitable for corner installations due to rigid connections, limiting their application scenarios and increasing the risk of deformation and damage during installation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a rigid splice element is used for splicing lamp bodies, then the connection structure is simple and strong, but the installation requires extremely high matching accuracy and the lamp bodies must be strictly horizontally aligned on the same straight line
Solution Approach 1:
The rigid splice element is divided into a first splice element connected to the first lamp body and a second splice element connected to the second lamp body, with a buffer component positioned between them. This segmentation allows the buffer component to absorb misalignment and accommodate positioning deviations, thereby reducing the high matching accuracy requirement while maintaining connection strength through the coordinated structure of both splice elements and the buffer.
Solution Approach 2:
A buffer component is introduced as an intermediary element between the first and second splice elements. This buffer component acts as a mediator that absorbs positioning deviations and misalignments, enabling the connection to tolerate lower matching accuracy during installation while still achieving a strong and stable connection through the combined structure.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid splice element is used for splicing lamp bodies, then the connection is stable, but enough space must be reserved for the second lamp body to accommodate the splicing operation
Solution Approach 1:
The splice structure transitions from a completely rigid connection to a semi-dynamic structure by incorporating a buffer component that can deform or compress during installation. This dynamic characteristic allows the second splice element to be inserted more easily into confined spaces, reducing the required installation area, while the overall connection stability is maintained through the coordinated structure of both splice elements and the buffer.
3Shape
If a rigid splice element is used for splicing lamp bodies, then the splicing effect achieves linear alignment, but the splice element cannot be used for splicing of lamp bodies located in the corner
Solution Approach 1:
The buffer component introduces dynamic flexibility to the otherwise rigid splice structure, enabling the second splice element to be positioned at angles other than strict linear alignment. This allows the splicing to adapt to corner installations and non-linear arrangements while the first and second splice elements maintain the structural integrity and connection stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The structure changes from fixed rigid parameters to variable parameters by incorporating the buffer component, which allows angular and positional adjustments. This parameter flexibility enables the splicing to adapt to different application scenarios including corner installations, while the coordinated structure of both splice elements ensures connection stability is maintained.
4Device complexity
If a rigid splice element is used for splicing lamp bodies, then the structure is simple, but the terminals of the lamp body and the pins of the splice element are easily deformed and damaged during installation
Solution Approach 1:
The buffer component serves as an intermediary that absorbs installation forces and misalignments, preventing direct transmission of stress to the terminals and pins. This protective mediation reduces deformation and damage risks during installation, while the overall structure remains relatively simple through the addition of this single buffer element between the two splice elements.

AI summary
The present application relates to a flexible spliced assembly of lamp bodies. Two splicing seats (10) are connected through a flexible mechanism (20), achieving a large angle bending between the two splicing seats (10). During the splicing process, the splicing seat (10) matching a second lamp body can be bent out, there is therefore no need for the second lamp body to be on the same straight line as a first lamp body, it thus reduces the requirement of matching accuracy and facilitates installation, meanwhile, it avoids deformation and damage to the terminals of the lamp body and the pins (30) of the splice element. Therefore, it is unnecessary to reserve enough space for the second lamp body, as it is able to satisfy the splicing operation of the lamp bodies in a confined space. Meanwhile, it is suitable for splicing of corner lamp bodies and solves the problem of corner installation.
