Solution Overview

Problem

The existing LED lighting devices, particularly down lamps, have a complex structure due to separate assembly of the base board, reflector, and shell, making it inconvenient and time-consuming to install the base board on the inner surface of the tube-shaped shell.

Innovation Solution

The LED lighting device incorporates a mounting structure with a connector that attaches the reflector, allowing the base board and shell to be sandwiched between the reflector and the mounting structure, simplifying assembly and reducing component count by integrating the connecting sections directly into the reflector.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the base board is installed to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the tube-shaped shell via screws, then the base board can be securely fixed, but the assembly process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fixation of base boardVSAvoidconvenience of assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure integrates multiple functions into a single component: it combines the base board mounting function with the shell connection function. The mounting structure is directly installed to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the shell and simultaneously connects the base board, eliminating the need for separate screw connections between the base board and shell. This merging of functions simplifies the assembly process while maintaining secure fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If the reflector and base board are connected to the shell individually, then each component can be independently assembled, but the overall structure becomes more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent assembly capabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure serves as a unified connection component that simultaneously connects both the base board and the reflector to the shell. Instead of having separate connection mechanisms for each component, the mounting structure provides integrated mounting points and support surfaces for both the base board and reflector, thereby reducing structural complexity while maintaining independent assembly capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If multiple separate components are used for mounting and connection, then each component can be optimized independently, but more time is required for assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent optimizationVSAvoidassembly speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure consolidates multiple mounting and connection functions into a single integrated component. It provides mounting surfaces for the base board, connection points for the reflector, and attachment mechanisms to the shell all in one piece. This integration reduces the number of assembly steps and fasteners required, thereby increasing assembly speed while still allowing for independent optimization of the mounted components.

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
