Solution Overview
Problem
Current miner's lamps with sensing functions are either costly and complex to set up and maintain, or they affect other lamps and are difficult to install and wire, leading to issues with light pollution and high operational costs.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent induction miner's lamp design incorporating a heat dissipating portion, latching switch, sensor, and light emitting element, where the latching switch controls the sensor's functionality before mounting, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without affecting other lamps, and featuring a power source cover, lens, and integrated substrate and heat sinks for efficient heat management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a remote control sensor is used to control the sensing function of the miner's lamp, then the sensing function can be controlled, but the cost is relatively high and other lamps of the same type are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the sensing control function from the main lamp body by integrating it into an independent switch assembly that can be controlled locally on the lamp itself, eliminating the need for external remote control systems and avoiding interference with other lamps
Solution Approach 2:
The miner's lamp is equipped with a self-contained switch assembly that includes the sensing function control integrated directly on the lamp housing, allowing the lamp to control its own sensing function without external devices, thereby reducing system complexity and cost
2Ease of operation
If a wall switch is used to control the driving power source adjusting light, then the lighting can be controlled, but the mounting and wiring are relatively complex and it is difficult to subsequently maintain the lamp
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the switch control function directly into the lamp housing structure, combining the power source control and sensing function control into integrated assemblies that are part of the lamp itself, eliminating separate wall switches and complex wiring requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp is divided into functional modules including a driver assembly and switch assembly that can be independently accessed and maintained, with the switch assembly integrated into the housing to simplify wiring while maintaining ease of control
3Illumination intensity
If incandescent lamps, halogen tungsten lamps, or high intensity discharge lamps are used to illuminate the entire working surface, then the illumination area can be covered, but light pollution occurs and energy consumption is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements sensing-controlled lighting that activates illumination only in specific areas where motion is detected, rather than uniformly illuminating the entire working surface, thereby reducing light pollution and energy consumption while maintaining adequate lighting where needed
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp uses sensing technology to periodically detect motion and activate lighting only when movement is detected, rather than continuous operation, reducing energy consumption and light pollution while providing illumination when required
