Solution Overview

Problem

Existing reflective LED lighting lamps have complex installation and disassembly processes, especially for large lamps, which can lead to damage and inconvenience, and require special structures for higher protection levels, making them difficult to maintain and assemble.

Innovation Solution

A reflective LED lighting lamp with a one-piece light source module strip and arched lamp housing that allows for simple insert-pullout connection, reducing the need for screw-based installation and enabling easy disassembly, and featuring a slot for secure mounting and heat dissipation, with the option to connect multiple lamps in series for various shapes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If LED light source is fastened to lamp housing by plurality of screws, then firm fixation is achieved, but installation process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation firmnessVSAvoidinstallation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional screw-based mechanical fastening system with a snap-fit insertion mechanism. The LED light source module features an insertion end that directly snaps into the lamp housing body, eliminating the need for screws, nuts, or other fastening components. This substitution maintains secure fixation while dramatically simplifying the installation and disassembly processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Stability of the object's composition

If screws are tightened during installation, then secure connection is achieved, but installation dislocation easily appears and light source may be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidlight source integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates the screw tightening process entirely by using a snap-fit insertion mechanism. The LED light source module is secured through direct insertion into the lamp housing body, which provides stable connection without applying concentrated tightening forces that could cause dislocation or damage to the light source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If lamp housing has closed structure for higher protection level, then protection is improved, but screw tightening method cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection levelVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the screw tightening method with a snap-fit insertion mechanism that works effectively within closed lamp housing structures. The insertion end of the LED light source module can be directly inserted into the lamp housing body through openings in the closed structure, providing both high protection levels and installation convenience without requiring access to the interior for screw tightening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Illumination intensity

If reflective film is attached to lamp housing, then light reflection is improved, but installation and disassembly becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight reflection efficiencyVSAvoidmaintenance convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lighting system into modular components: the lamp housing with integrated reflective film, and the separately replaceable LED light source module. This segmentation allows the reflective film to remain permanently attached to the lamp housing for optimal light reflection, while the LED module can be independently installed or maintained by simple insertion or removal, eliminating the need to disassemble or reattach the reflective film during maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A reflective LED lighting lamp includes a lamp housing and a light source module strip mounted to the lamp housing. A reflective layer mounted to the lamp housing. The light source module strip has an independently removable one-piece structure and includes at least one LED light source and an LED light source mounting base. The LED light source mounting base is inserted into the lamp housing by a slot. The LED light source mounting base is made of thermal conductive material. The heat generated by the LED is transmitted to the lamp housing by the LED light source mounting base, and then is dissipated by the lamp housing. The present invention adopts the one-piece light source module strip. Installation and disassembly by simple insert-pullout manner between the LED light source module strip and the lamp housing can be achieved. The present invention has simple operation and strong applicability.
