LED Lens Module with Integrated Bezel Connection Parts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light emitting diode (LED) packages require a separate base plate for bonding with external bezel parts, leading to complex processes and increased production costs.
Innovation Solution
A lens module with integrated support and connection parts allows direct combination with bezel parts without a separate base plate, simplifying the structure and production process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a separate base plate is used to bond the lens with bezel parts, then bonding reliability is ensured, but the structure becomes complex and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the base plate function directly into the lens structure by forming support parts and connection parts integrally with the lens. The connection parts include protrusions that extend into recesses of the bezel parts, creating a unified structure that eliminates the need for a separate base plate while maintaining bonding reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The lens is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both the optical element and the structural base for mounting bezel parts. The support parts extending from the lens provide mounting surfaces, while the connection parts with protrusions enable direct bonding to bezel parts, making the lens a multi-functional component that replaces both the optical element and the base plate.
2Reliability
If a separate base plate is used to combine the lens with bezel parts, then bonding reliability is ensured, but the production process becomes inconvenient and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The manufacturing process is simplified by combining the lens and base plate into a single integral structure. The support parts and connection parts are formed directly on the lens during the lens manufacturing process, eliminating the need for separate base plate fabrication and assembly steps. This reduces the number of manufacturing operations and improves production efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection parts, including the protrusions, are pre-formed on the lens during lens manufacturing. This preliminary formation of bonding features allows the lens to be directly mounted to bezel parts without requiring additional base plate preparation or assembly operations, streamlining the production process.
