Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED panel lamps have limited versatility due to fixed size requirements, making it difficult to replace them with smaller alternatives without compromising installation and lighting effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates a lamp panel with a gap between its edges and a lamp frame, filled by a baffle with anti-collapse members to prevent deformation and enhance versatility, allowing for smaller lamp panel sizes while maintaining structural stability and lighting performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp panel size is reduced to improve versatility, then smaller panels can be used for replacement, but the structural stability and lighting effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A baffle is introduced as an intermediary component between the lamp panel and lamp frame. The baffle includes anti-collapse members that extend into the gap to provide additional support to the lamp panel, preventing structural instability that would otherwise occur with smaller panel sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The support structure is segmented into multiple components: the lamp frame, the baffle, and the anti-collapse members. This segmentation allows the anti-collapse members to be positioned at specific locations within the gap to provide targeted support where needed, enabling smaller panel sizes without compromising overall structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp panel size is reduced to improve versatility, then smaller panels can be used for replacement, but the lighting effectiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidlighting effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The baffle acts as a mediator that allows smaller lamp panels to maintain lighting effectiveness. By providing structural support through the anti-collapse members, the baffle enables smaller panels to be used without causing deformation that would compromise light emission quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a gap is created between the lamp panel and lamp frame to enable smaller panel sizes, then versatility is improved, but structural integrity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The baffle serves as an intermediary structure that fills the gap between the lamp panel and lamp frame. The anti-collapse members extend into this gap to provide reinforcement, ensuring that the structural integrity is maintained despite the presence of the gap that enables smaller panel sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The anti-collapse members extend into the third dimension (into the gap space) to provide support. This dimensional utilization allows the structure to maintain integrity without requiring the panel to be larger or the gap to be eliminated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
