Integrated Connector for Light Source Module Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation and disassembly of light source modules in illumination devices are not convenient and fast due to the separate mechanical and electrical connections being managed by different components, leading to complex and time-consuming processes.
Innovation Solution
A light source module with a connector piece that has both mechanical and electrical connection portions, allowing for simultaneous mechanical connection to a base and electrical connection to a power supply source, simplifying the installation and disassembly process by integrating these connections through a connector seat and wire system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate components are used for mechanical connection and electrical connection, then the light source module can be connected to the base, but the installation and disassembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the mechanical connection function and electrical connection function into a single integrated connector piece. The connector piece includes both a mechanical connection portion that connects to the base and an electrical connection portion that connects to the power supply source, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing installation complexity
2Ease of manufacture
If separate components are used for mechanical connection and electrical connection, then each component can be optimized independently, but the overall device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connector piece integrates multiple functions (mechanical connection, electrical connection) into a single component, reducing the total number of parts while maintaining the ability to optimize each function independently through dedicated portions within the integrated structure
Solution Approach 2:
The connector piece serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical connection to the base, electrical connection to the power supply source, and structural support for the light source component, making it a multi-functional universal component
