Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED panel lights suffer from significant light loss due to the staggered installation of the light guide plate and light source component, requiring high precision in assembly and a complex production process.

Innovation Solution

A frame component with a moving plate and expansion piece that allows the light source component to be assembled close to the light guide plate, eliminating clearance and enabling light to exit without loss, while simplifying the production process and reducing precision requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the light guide plate and light source component are installed in a staggered manner, then the assembly process is simplified, but significant light loss occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly processVSAvoidlight loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a moving plate that can dynamically adjust its position relative to the light guide plate and light source component. The moving plate transitions from an initial position (allowing staggered installation for ease of assembly) to a final position where it presses the light source component against the light guide plate, eliminating clearance and preventing light loss. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between assembly ease and light efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of energy

If the light source component is positioned close to the light guide plate, then light loss is reduced, but the assembly precision requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight lossVSAvoidassembly precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a spring component that automatically adjusts and maintains the optimal distance between the light source component and the light guide plate. The spring expands or contracts based on the assembly state, self-regulating the positioning to ensure close contact without requiring high precision manual assembly. This self-adjusting mechanism eliminates the need for complex precision control while maintaining minimal light loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of manufacture

If a fixed frame structure is used, then the production process is simplified, but the adaptability to different configurations is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction processVSAvoidconfiguration adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the traditional fixed frame structure into a dynamic assembly with a moving plate that can shift positions. This dynamic design allows the same frame structure to accommodate different configurations of light source components and light guide plates while maintaining a simplified production process. The moving plate serves as a universal interface that adapts to various component arrangements without requiring custom frame designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
