Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the existing street light installation method is used (passing wires through wire holes), then the electrical connection is achieved, but the installation process becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The street light system is divided into modular components: a main body module and a support arm module with detachable docking portions. Each module can be independently manufactured, tested, and installed, then quickly connected through the docking portions without complex wiring operations at height.
Solution Approach 2:
The wiring and electrical connections are pre-configured within each module before installation. The male and female docking portions are pre-assembled with their respective electrical contacts, so that when the modules are connected during installation, the electrical connection is automatically established without requiring on-site wiring work.
2Reliability
If the existing street light installation method is used (passing wires through wire holes), then the electrical connection is achieved, but the installation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the system into pre-wired modules, the time-consuming wiring operation is moved to the manufacturing stage, allowing parallel preparation of multiple modules before installation, thus reducing on-site installation time.
Solution Approach 2:
All electrical connections are established in advance during module assembly. The docking portions include integrated electrical contacts that automatically connect when modules are joined, eliminating the need for time-consuming on-site wiring and connection work.
3Ease of manufacture
If the existing street light design is used, then the main body can be assembled, but disassembly for maintenance is complicated and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The street light is divided into separable modules connected by detachable docking portions. For maintenance, the support arm module can be easily detached from the main body module, allowing access to internal components without complete disassembly, and the detached module can be replaced or repaired ground-level.
4Productivity
If the existing street light installation method is used, then the installation is completed, but safety hazards occur at high altitudes
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the system into pre-assembled modules, the installation process is simplified to basic mechanical connection operations that can be performed safely at height without complex wiring maneuvers, reducing safety risks for workers operating at elevated positions.
Solution Approach 2:
All hazardous wiring and electrical connection work is completed in advance during module manufacturing in a safe ground-level environment. The installation phase only requires simple mechanical docking operations, eliminating the need for workers to perform dangerous wiring tasks at height.

AI summary
The invention relates to the technical field of lighting, more particularly to a LED street light that includes a main body and a support arm connected to the main body. A female joint is provided at one end of the support arm close to the main body. A male joint is provided at one end of the main body close to the support arm. When installing the LED street light, the male joint and the female joint are mutually inserted to supply power to the main body, without arranging the circuits in the LED street light before installation, which greatly simplifies the installation process and reduces the installation time and the installation difficulty. In addition, due to the reduction of the installation time and installation difficulty, the safety hazards caused by the installation of the LED street lights can also be prevented, and safety is thus improved.
