Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LED lamp devices have complex and time-consuming assembly processes, requiring experience and proficiency, leading to high costs and potential assembly failures due to numerous components.
Innovation Solution
A simplified lamp device design featuring a heat dissipating seat, a light emitting unit, a mounting seat, and a light guide plate, where the light emitting unit is fixed within the heat dissipating seat, and the light guide plate is inserted into a receiving space defined by the mounting seat, eliminating the need for adhesives and simplifying assembly through a secure fixing mechanism using screws or bolts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional LED lamp device uses multiple components (light guide plate, reflecting unit, fixing unit, fillers), then light emission function is achieved, but assembly process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the light guide plate, reflecting unit, and fixing unit into an integrated mounting seat structure. The mounting seat includes a receiving space that accommodates the light guide plate, and the light guide plate is fixed to the mounting seat through integrated fixing structures, eliminating the need for separate fixing units and fillers. This merging reduces the number of components and simplifies the assembly process while maintaining the light emission function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary components from the conventional design. Specifically, the separate fixing unit and fillers are removed, and their functions are integrated into the mounting seat and light guide plate assembly. This extraction reduces assembly complexity and eliminates steps requiring adhesives or additional fastening operations.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional LED lamp device uses multiple components and adhesives, then assembly is possible, but assembly cost increases and assembly time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the assembly process into simple, modular steps. The mounting seat is designed as a standalone component with integrated fixing structures, allowing the light guide plate to be installed independently without requiring adhesives or additional fastening operations. This segmentation enables quick assembly and reduces the time required for manufacturing.
3Ease of operation
If conventional LED lamp device requires experience and proficiency for assembly, then assembly can be completed, but assembly failure rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting seat and light guide plate are designed with self-aligning and self-fixing features. The receiving space of the mounting seat naturally guides the light guide plate into the correct position, and the integrated fixing structures automatically secure the light guide plate without requiring operator skill or judgment. This self-service design reduces assembly failures and makes the process accessible to operators with minimal training.

AI summary
A lamp device includes a heat dissipating seat, a light emitting unit, a mounting seat and a light guide plate. The heat dissipating seat defines an accommodation space with an opening. The light emitting unit is fixed to the heat dissipating seat within the accommodation space. The mounting seat is disposed in the accommodation space through the opening, and covers the light emitting unit. A receiving space is defined by at least a portion of the mounting seat and extends in a direction away from the light emitting unit. The light guide plate has at least a portion inserted into and fixed within the receiving space.
