Modular Lamp Housing With Detachable Fastening Modules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting arrangements for switch cabinets and equipment cabinets are difficult to install due to fixed fastening devices on the lamp housing, limiting flexibility in mounting techniques and increasing assembly effort, as they cannot be easily adapted to different fastening methods or profiles.
Innovation Solution
A lamp arrangement with a module connection device on the housing surface and a set of housing connection modules with corresponding connection devices for detachable connection, allowing for various fastening options such as magnetic, screw, or latching attachments to a mounting base, enabling flexible installation in standard switch cabinets without requiring perforated profiles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If fixed fastening devices are integrated into the lamp housing, then the lamp structure is simplified, but the adaptability to different mounting techniques is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is divided into two independent parts: a module connection device integrated into the lamp housing and separate housing connection modules with different fastening devices. This segmentation allows the lamp housing to remain simple while providing multiple mounting options through interchangeable modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The module connection device is designed with universal compatibility to accept different types of housing connection modules (screw, magnetic, snap-in, etc.). This multi-functionality enables a single lamp housing design to adapt to various mounting techniques and cabinet types without requiring multiple specialized fastening systems.
2Reliability
If specialized fastening devices are used for different cabinet types, then the fastening reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The housing connection modules serve as intermediary components between the lamp housing and the mounting base. Each module is specialized for a specific fastening method (screw, magnetic, snap-in), providing reliable fastening for that particular cabinet type, while the universal module connection device keeps the overall system design simple.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fastening methods are integrated into the lamp housing, then the adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of integrating multiple fastening methods into the lamp housing itself, the patent segments the fastening functionality into separate interchangeable modules. This allows each module to be manufactured independently with a single fastening method, simplifying production while providing variety through module selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The module connection device is designed with universal compatibility to work with different housing connection modules. This universality allows the lamp housing to be manufactured once with a single connection interface, while the modular system provides multiple fastening method options without increasing manufacturing complexity.
4Ease of operation
If fixed fastening devices are used, then the assembly process is simplified, but the installation flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system transitions from a fixed configuration to a dynamic, reconfigurable system. The housing connection modules can be attached and detached from the module connection device, allowing the installation method to be changed dynamically based on the cabinet type and requirements, while maintaining simple assembly through standardized interfaces.
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 solution allows for easy and flexible installation of lamps in switch cabinets using different fastening techniques, reducing assembly effort and enabling quick adaptation to various mounting configurations, including magnetic, screw, or latching methods, ensuring stable and versatile lamp placement.
Implementation Method 1
If there are no perforated profiles in a switch cabinet for fastening the lamp housing, it proves to be particularly advantageous if the fastening device is designed as a magnet, which enables the lamp to be flexibly fastened to a magnetically active surface.
