Lamp Body Structure with Guard Section for Saddle Riding Vehicle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In lamp body structures for saddle riding vehicles, the design and assemblability are compromised due to contact between members during assembly, leading to potential damage and laborious assembly processes, as existing protection methods do not effectively safeguard electric equipment during assembly.
Innovation Solution
A lamp body structure featuring a cover with integrated turn signal lamps, where the turn signal lamps include a guard section and a rubber section with an engaging core member, which elastically supports the lamps and prevents contact with the lamp body, enhancing design and assembly by using a fixture that is covered by the guard section to prevent damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the lamp body is covered from the periphery by the cover to enhance design property, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the members on the cover and lamp body are liable to make contact during assembly, causing damage risk and laborious assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guard section as an intermediary protective element between the fixture members on the cover and the lamp body. This guard section prevents direct contact between potentially damaging fixture components and the lamp body during assembly, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining close spacing for design purposes and preventing damage during assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The guard section is provided in advance on the cover before assembly occurs. This beforehand protective measure ensures that when the lamp body is inserted into the cover, the fixture members are already protected from making direct contact with the lamp body, preventing potential damage before it can occur.
2Ease of operation
If the fixture members are exposed to prevent assembly interference, then assembly is easier, but the lamp body is vulnerable to damage from contact with fixture members
Solution Approach 1:
The guard section serves as a protective intermediary that allows fixture members to remain in their functional positions while preventing them from directly contacting and damaging the lamp body during assembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The guard section is pre-installed on the cover to provide beforehand protection, ensuring that fixture members cannot cause damage to the lamp body during the assembly process while remaining in positions that do not interfere with assembly operations.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively enhances design properties and assemblability by preventing damage to the lamp body during assembly, allowing for easier and safer assembly processes while ensuring the lamp body is protected from fixtures, and reducing clearance between components to prevent damage.

AI summary
The lamp body structure for the saddle riding vehicle includes a taillight, and a cover covering the taillight from the periphery. The cover includes a pair of rear-side turn signal lamps fixed to the cover such as to be located on both left and right sides of the taillight. The rear-side turn signal lamp is provided with a fixture for fixing the rear-side turn signal lamp to the cover. The taillight is inserted into an opening provided in the cover, whereby a lens is exposed to outside and is covered by the cover from the periphery. The rear-side turn signal lamp includes a guard section covering the fixture.
