Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current industrial lighting devices with sensing functions face high manufacturing costs due to external sensing bases, lack of dimming and power regulation capabilities, inadequate UGR ratings, and limited fixing mechanisms, which hinder cost-effectiveness and user experience.
Innovation Solution
An integrated industrial lighting device with a driving module, light-emitting module, and sensing module, featuring a driving box and box cover, water-proof rings, and detachable modules for power adjustment and dimming, allowing for flexible module replacement and enhanced water-proofing, while integrating power, color temperature, and sensing functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an external sensing base is used to realize sensing functions, then sensing functionality is achieved, but manufacturing cost and manpower consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the sensing module directly into the driving module housing, merging two previously separate components. The sensing module installation hole is formed within the driving box cover, eliminating the need for an external sensing base and reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining sensing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The driving module housing serves multiple functions: it protects the driving circuitry, provides structural support, and incorporates the sensing module integration. This multi-functional design reduces the total number of components needed while achieving both driving and sensing functions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adapter elements are added to realize different fixing mechanisms, then fixing versatility is improved, but additional cost is incurred
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides a detachable fixing element that can be removed and replaced based on different fixing requirements. This dynamic design allows the same base structure to serve multiple fixing purposes without requiring multiple specialized adapter elements, reducing manufacturing complexity.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If sensing module installation hole is sealed to prevent water ingress, then water-proofing is improved, but sensing function accessibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the sensing module installation area from the main driving module housing. The sensing module can be detached from the driving box cover without disassembling the entire device, allowing maintenance or replacement while maintaining water-proofing of the main driving circuitry.
