LED Side Marker Lamp Punching Panel Color Coating
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional LED side marker lamps are ineffective for daytime decoration due to color mismatch with buildings, have fixed specifications, and require costly and inconvenient maintenance, as the entire unit needs replacement when faulty.
Innovation Solution
The LED side marker lamp design features a punching panel with a water-proof light source module and through holes, allowing for flexible specifications, reduced maintenance costs, and improved decoration by matching colors with buildings, with each unit comprising multiple LED lamps and a built-in control unit for reliable operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a traditional LED side marker lamp uses a milk or transparent cover, then the structure is simple and manufacturing cost is low, but the decoration effectiveness during daytime is poor due to color mismatch with buildings
Solution Approach 1:
The punching panel is coated with building-matching colors (yellow, blue, red, green, or black) to replace the traditional milk or transparent cover. This color coating resolves the contradiction by maintaining simple manufacturing while dramatically improving daytime decoration effectiveness through color coordination with buildings.
2Reliability
If the LED side marker lamp uses fixed specifications with a cover connected via water-proof glue, then the structural integrity and water-proof performance are good, but the maintenance cost is high and maintenance convenience is poor when the lamp fails
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is divided into separable modules: the punching panel with coating, the water-proof light source module, and the bottom slot. The water-proof light source module can be independently replaced without removing the punching panel or end covers, resolving the contradiction by maintaining water-proof integrity while enabling convenient maintenance through modular replacement.
3Ease of manufacture
If the LED side marker lamp uses fixed specifications, then the manufacturing process is standardized and cost-effective, but the adaptability to different decoration needs is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The punching panel with coating and bottom slot design creates a universal platform that can accommodate different numbers and arrangements of water-proof light source modules. This allows the same basic structure to be adapted for various decoration needs (different lengths, LED counts, configurations) while maintaining standardized manufacturing processes.
4Reliability
If the entire LED line board needs to be replaced when the lamp fails, then the water-proof seal is maintained, but the maintenance cost increases and maintenance time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The water-proof light source module is extracted as a separate replaceable component from the punching panel assembly. When failure occurs, only the faulty light source module needs to be removed and replaced, not the entire LED line board. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining water-proof integrity through the modular design while significantly reducing maintenance time and cost.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design enhances decoration effectiveness, reduces maintenance costs by allowing only the water-proof light source module to be replaced, and provides flexible specifications with improved reliability and stability due to the modular structure and water-proof insulation layer.
Implementation Method 1
a water-proof insulation layer operates to cover the PCB board and part of the LED lamp

AI summary
A light emitting diode (LED) side marker lamp, comprising a punching panel with a coating, a water-proof light source module, and a through hole. The water-proof light source module is disposed below the punching panel, and the through hole is disposed on the punching panel and operates to allow light to be emitted from the water-proof light source module. A traditional cover is not needed, and the punching panel is used to replace the cover and colors thereof match with those of buildings, which improves decoration effect of the invention; secondly, as the LED side marker lamp fails, only the water-proof light source module needs to be replaced, which is convenient for maintenance and reduces cost; finally, the number of light source modules can be varied, which is flexible in use.
