Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED lighting apparatuses lack wireless control functionality, requiring physical cables for control and modification, limiting flexibility and increasing installation and replacement costs.
Innovation Solution
Incorporation of a wireless communication module, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Zigbee, allowing for bidirectional communication between a remote controller and the lighting device, enabling control via mobile terminals or low-cost remote controls without additional cables, and exposing antennas outside the metal case for improved signal reception.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If LED lighting apparatus is equipped with wireless control function, then control flexibility and ease of operation are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cable-based control system with a wireless communication system. The lighting apparatus includes a wireless communication module that receives control signals wirelessly, eliminating the need for physical cable connections between the control device and the lighting apparatus, thereby improving control flexibility while managing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting apparatus is designed with multi-functionality by integrating both lighting function and wireless communication function into a single device. The control unit can process both traditional cable-based control signals and wireless control signals, allowing the device to serve multiple purposes and reducing the need for separate control systems.
2Reliability
If antenna is exposed outside metal case, then wireless signal reception is improved, but structural integrity and protection are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the antenna from the enclosed metal case and positions it externally on the housing. This extraction allows the antenna to be exposed to the external environment for optimal wireless signal reception, while the housing structure provides the necessary mechanical protection and support for the antenna element.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing structure serves as an intermediary between the antenna and the external environment. It provides mechanical support and protection to the antenna while allowing the antenna to remain exposed for signal reception. The housing material and design are selected to minimize interference with wireless signals while providing adequate structural protection.
