Solution Overview

Problem

Current panel lamps have complex structural members, making assembly and replacement cumbersome, leading to inefficiencies and poor user experience due to the need for specialized knowledge and inventory accumulation for different parameter requirements.

Innovation Solution

A modular panel lamp design comprising a surface frame component, light source component, and drive component, where the components are easily connected and disconnected, allowing for quick assembly and replacement, and can be sold as a complete unit or separately to meet various user demands, with a spliced frame body for a narrow bezel and increased light emitting area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional panel lamps use multiple structural members assembled together, then the lamp can be manufactured with standardized components, but the assembly process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestandardized componentsVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple structural members into a single integrated housing that includes built-in mounting features, positioning structures, and connection interfaces. This merging eliminates the need to assemble multiple separate components, thereby resolving the contradiction between standardized manufacturing and assembly efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of repair

If conventional panel lamps use multiple structural members, then component replacement is possible, but the replacement process requires specialized knowledge and is troublesome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent replacementVSAvoidreplacement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the optical member as a separate, independently replaceable component with standardized interfaces. The optical member can be removed and replaced without disassembling other parts of the lamp, eliminating the need for specialized knowledge and simplifying the replacement process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Strength

If conventional panel lamps use traditional frame structures, then the lamp provides structural support, but the bezel width is large and the light emitting area is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidlight emitting area
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a thin, integrated housing structure with strategically placed reinforcement ribs and mounting features that provide necessary structural support while minimizing the bezel width. This allows the light emitting area to be maximized without compromising structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

AI summary

The present application provides a modular panel lamp and relates to the technical field of lamp manufacturing. The modular panel lamp comprises a surface frame component (110), a light source component (120), a backlight component (130), and a drive component (140). The light source component (120) is connected with the surface frame component (110), the backlight (130) component is connected with the surface frame component (110), and the drive component (140) is connected with the light source component (120). The surface frame component (110) comprises four profiles connected in an end-to-end manner, the four profiles are detachably connected to form a frame body, and both the light source component (120) and the backlight component (130) are disposed in the frame body. The modular panel lamp has a modular structure which is convenient for assembly, replacement, and maintenance, and has high assembling efficiency, and the modular panel lamp may be sold as an entire lamp or each modular component may be sold separately, and thus the modular panel lamp has high market flexibility.
