Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LED module mounting systems make it difficult to change the photometry of lighting devices after installation, requiring laborious adjustments and posing challenges in reliability and safety.
Innovation Solution
A coupling device with selective inclination means allows easy adjustment of LED modules by 0-45 degrees in 15-degree increments, using a support plate and graduated plate with quick coupling, enabling quick photometry changes without disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional LED module mounting systems are used, then the structure is simple and reliable, but the photometry cannot be easily changed after installation and adjustment is laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The LED module is made adjustable through a mechanical coupling device with inclination means, allowing the module to be positioned at different angles (0-45 degrees in 15-degree increments) relative to the power supply unit. This dynamic positioning capability enables photometry changes after installation without requiring complete disassembly, thus resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and photometry adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is divided into separate components: a support plate associated with the LED module, a graduated plate associated with the power supply unit, and adjustable locking means. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of the LED module position while maintaining a simple overall structure, enabling easy photometry changes without complicating the entire system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional fixed mounting systems are used, then installation is simple, but any photometry changes require complete disassembly and reinstallation
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling device incorporates inclination means with locking mechanisms that allow the LED module to be quickly repositioned to different angles and securely locked in place. This dynamic adjustment capability enables photometry changes to be made in minutes rather than requiring complete disassembly and reinstallation, significantly reducing time loss while maintaining installation simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The support plate is pre-associated with the LED module and the graduated plate with the power supply unit, with all necessary mounting holes and locking mechanisms pre-positioned. This preliminary preparation allows for quick adjustment operations without requiring complex assembly procedures, reducing adjustment time while preserving installation simplicity.
3Reliability
If the LED module is securely fixed to achieve reliable photometry, then the position is stable, but any changes require laborious operations
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling device uses locking means that can transition between locked and unlocked states. When locked, the LED module position is stable and reliable; when unlocked, the module can be easily repositioned. This dynamic locking mechanism resolves the contradiction by providing both position stability for reliable operation and ease of adjustment when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows changes in the angular parameter of the LED module position through the graduated plate with marked positions. The locking mechanism maintains the selected angular parameter reliably, while the ability to unlock and reposition allows easy parameter changes. This resolves the contradiction between position stability and adjustment ease by controlling the state of the locking mechanism.
