Motion Sensitive Lamp Coupling Mechanism Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional motion sensitive lamps are difficult to assemble and disassemble due to complex coupling structures, making it challenging for users to see and connect the lamp body with the base during installation.
Innovation Solution
A motion sensitive lamp with a coupling mechanism featuring an engaging structure, positioning structure, and limiting element, where the engaging structure is inserted into the positioning structure, and the limiting element is displaced to secure the lamp body to the base, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly without additional tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a complex coupling structure is used to connect the lamp body with the base, then the connection strength and reliability are improved, but the ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling structure is divided into distinct components: an engaging structure on one part and a positioning structure on the other, allowing separate functions of connection and positioning while maintaining simplicity for user assembly
Solution Approach 2:
A limiting element acts as an intermediary component that controls the engagement process, guiding the engaging structure into the positioning structure and ensuring proper alignment during assembly without requiring complex mechanisms
2Ease of operation
If a simple coupling structure is used to connect the lamp body with the base, then the ease of assembly and disassembly is improved, but the connection strength and reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The engaging structure and positioning structure are designed with asymmetric geometries (convex and concave shapes) that provide strong mechanical interlocking when engaged, while still allowing straightforward assembly through directional insertion
Solution Approach 2:
The convex and concave structures utilize curved surfaces that facilitate smooth engagement during assembly while providing robust mechanical connection strength when locked together
3Manufacturing precision
If additional assembly tools are required to connect the lamp body with the base, then the connection precision and reliability are improved, but the device complexity and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism is designed to be self-aligning and self-securing through the interaction of the engaging structure, positioning structure, and limiting element, eliminating the need for external tools while maintaining assembly precision
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting element is pre-positioned to guide the engagement process, ensuring proper alignment between the engaging and positioning structures before final locking occurs, thereby achieving precision without additional tools

AI summary
A motion sensitive lamp with a coupling mechanism is provided. The motion sensitive lamp is installed on a wall or a ceiling. The motion sensitive lamp at least includes a lamp body, a base and a coupling mechanism. A coupling mechanism includes an engaging structure, a positioning structure and a limiting element. One of the engaging structure and the positioning structure is installed on the lamp body. The other of the engaging structure and the positioning structure is installed on the base. The engaging structure is inserted into the positioning structure, so that the lamp body is locked on or coupled with the base. When an external force is applied to the limiting element, the external force results in a displacement of the limiting element, so that the limiting element is inserted into one of the base and the lamp body.
