Recessed Ceiling Lamp Inductor Plug Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional recessed ceiling lamps with inductors have complex structural designs that increase costs and require separate production lines for mounting and hiding the inductor, leading to inefficiencies and higher expenses.
Innovation Solution
A recessed ceiling lamp with an inductor plug featuring a boat-shaped structure comprising left and right end plates, an intermediate plate, and a clamping mechanism for the inductor, allowing for easy mounting and detachment, along with a cap to cover the inductor when not in use, which simplifies production and reduces costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the inductor is mounted on the lighting lamp, then the induction function is available, but the structural design becomes complex and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The inductor mounting structure is segmented from the main lamp body into a separate inductor plug component. This plug can be independently manufactured and then attached to the lamp body through the accommodating cavity, simplifying the overall structural design while maintaining the induction function.
Solution Approach 2:
The inductor mounting function is extracted as a separate removable plug component rather than being integrated into the lamp body. This allows the inductor to be mounted only when needed, reducing structural complexity and cost for lamps that don't require induction functionality.
2Reliability
If the inductor is mounted on the lighting lamp, then the induction function is available, but different production lines are required
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the inductor mounting into a separate plug component, the lamp body and inductor plug can be manufactured on different production lines independently. The plug is then attached during final assembly, eliminating the need for specialized production lines.
Solution Approach 2:
The inductor plug is designed as a universal component that can be attached to various lamp models through the standardized accommodating cavity. This multi-functional design allows the same plug to be used across different production lines and lamp types.
3Reliability
If the inductor is mounted cumbersomely, then the induction function is available, but the mounting process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The inductor mounting system is segmented into a modular plug that fits into an accommodating cavity. This segmentation allows for simple insertion and attachment without cumbersome mounting procedures, while ensuring reliable induction functionality.

AI summary
A recessed ceiling lamp and an inductor plug thereof belong to the technical field of lamps. The inductor plug includes a left end plate, an intermediate plate, and a right end plate. The intermediate plate is clamped between the left end plate and the right end plate, and integrally formed with the left end plate and the right end plate as an upside-down boat-shaped structure. An accommodating opening is formed in the intermediate plate. The left end plate is configured to be connected to a profile. The right end plate is configured to be docked with an end of a diffusing cover. An inductor to be mounted is connected to the intermediate plate through the accommodating opening.
