Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless lamps with traditional battery compartment designs require complex and time-consuming battery replacement processes, posing operational difficulties and safety hazards due to the need for tools and uncomfortable postures.
Innovation Solution
A lamp with a quick-release battery design featuring a battery compartment with a sub-buckle, clamping component, elastic female buckle, and pressing-type elastic self-locking mechanism for easy insertion and removal of the battery pack, along with a magnetic connection for wall mounting and conductive plug/socket for reliable power supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional battery compartment design is used, then the battery can be securely held, but the battery replacement process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The battery compartment is segmented into a clamping box, sliding block, and elastic female buckle components. This segmentation allows the battery pack to be quickly inserted and clamped without requiring the user to open a traditional cover, significantly reducing the time and complexity of battery replacement while maintaining secure holding.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic female buckle is pre-positioned in the clamping box, ready to automatically clamp the battery pack upon insertion. This preliminary arrangement eliminates the need for manual assembly steps during battery replacement, allowing users to simply insert the battery pack and have it automatically secured, thus reducing replacement time and operational complexity.
2Ease of operation
If a traditional battery compartment design is used, then the battery can be securely held, but the user needs to use tools or adopt uncomfortable postures
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic female buckle automatically clamps the battery pack when it is inserted into the clamping box, without requiring any tools or additional manual operations from the user. The system serves itself by automatically securing the battery, eliminating the need for tools or uncomfortable postures, and reducing operational difficulty while maintaining secure holding.
3Productivity
If a quick-release mechanism is used, then battery replacement becomes fast and easy, but the reliability of battery retention may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic female buckle provides dynamic retention by automatically adjusting its clamping force on the battery pack. When the battery is inserted, the elastic arms engage with the sub-buckle to provide secure retention. When release is needed, a simple push action overcomes the elastic force to disengage the buckle. This dynamic mechanism enables both fast replacement and reliable retention without compromising either aspect.
