Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing plug-in ground lights have fixed lighting patterns, limiting their application scenarios due to fixed illumination brightness and lack of control over operating states, luminous intensity, and luminous color.
Innovation Solution
A plug-in ground light with a protective cover that can switch between open and closed states, exposing a functional member to allow user control over operating states, luminous intensity, and luminous color, and incorporating a light-emitting module with adjustable modes, including LED beads for various colors and a control circuit for automatic operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the protective cover is kept closed to protect functional components, then waterproof and dustproof protection is improved, but user access to control functional members becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The functional member is nested within the mounting assembly, which is itself contained within the protective cover structure. This allows the functional member to be protected when the cover is closed while still being accessible when the cover is opened, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
2Device complexity
If fixed lighting patterns are used to simplify the device structure, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different application scenarios is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting system transitions from fixed to dynamic control through the functional member that adjusts operating state, luminous intensity, and luminous color. This allows the same device structure to adapt to different application scenarios by changing lighting parameters dynamically.
Solution Approach 2:
The functional member enables changes in lighting parameters including operating state (on/off), luminous intensity (brightness levels), and luminous color (color temperature or hue). By allowing these parameters to be adjusted, the device becomes versatile across multiple application scenarios without increasing structural complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control functions are added to expand usage scenarios, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The functional member serves multiple functions simultaneously - controlling operating state, adjusting luminous intensity, and changing luminous color. This multi-functionality approach allows the device to handle various usage scenarios through a single integrated control mechanism rather than multiple separate controls, thus improving adaptability while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
Provided is a plug-in ground light, including a ground plug pin, a light pole assembly, a light-emitting module, and a functional member. The light pole assembly includes a mounting assembly connected to the ground plug pin and a protective cover connected to the mounting assembly. The protective cover has an open state and a closed state relative to the mounting assembly. The light-emitting module is disposed in the mounting assembly. The functional member is disposed in the mounting assembly. When the protective cover is in the open state, the functional member is exposed, and when the protective cover is in the closed state, the protective cover obscures the functional member. The functional member is configured to control at least one of an operating state, luminous intensity, a luminous color, and an operating mode of the light-emitting module.
