Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light fixtures mounted using elastic strips and screws have a large radial size and high installation difficulty due to their design, leading to low installation efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A light fixture design featuring a light body with a limiting element and elastic mounting members, where the clamping portion is inserted into a limiting space and the mounting portion is secured through a matching notch and slot, eliminating the need for screws and allowing for a smaller radial size and easier installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If elastic strips and screws are used to connect the light fixture, then the connection reliability is improved, but the radial size and installation space increase
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic mounting member is inserted into the limiting space formed by the light housing and limiting element, with the clamping portion nested within the limiting space and the mounting portion extending outward. This nested structure allows the connection components to be compactly arranged, reducing the radial size while maintaining connection reliability through the elastic clamping mechanism.
2Reliability
If elastic strips and screws are used to connect the light fixture, then the connection reliability is improved, but the installation difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic mounting member automatically clamps the light body to the mounting base through its elastic deformation, eliminating the need for manual screw tightening operations. The elastic clip engages with the limiting slot to secure the assembly, providing self-service fastening that improves installation ease while maintaining reliable connection.
3Reliability
If elastic strips and screws are used to connect the light fixture, then the connection reliability is improved, but the installation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The design extracts the time-consuming screw tightening operation from the installation process, replacing it with a simple insertion and elastic clamping action. The mounting portion is inserted into the matching notch and the elastic mounting member automatically secures the light body, dramatically reducing installation time and improving efficiency while maintaining reliable connection through the elastic clamping mechanism.
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
The design achieves a reliable and stable connection between the light body and mounting base with reduced radial size and installation space, simplifying the installation process and improving efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic clip and the limiting slot may be in limiting fit, so that the clamping portion is restricted from being detached from the limiting space from the mounting opening
