Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional recessed downlights face challenges in securely installing or replacing the drive power supply due to its lack of a fixed position and drawing track, making it inconvenient for installation and secure mounting.

Innovation Solution

A light device with a movable bracket assembly featuring rotating arms and a mounting support system allows the drive power supply to be conveniently drawn out, connected via a conductive wire, and then hidden within a fixed body, using engagement windows and tongues, and retaining screws for secure positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the drive power supply is hidden within the ceiling or wall body, then the appearance is clean and integrated, but the installation and replacement become inconvenient and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveappearance integrationVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The drive power supply is mounted on a movable bracket assembly with two movable arms that can rotate relative to each other, allowing the power supply to be dynamically positioned between extended (for installation/access) and retracted (for hidden appearance) states, resolving the contradiction between appearance integration and installation convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is segmented into a fixed support, movable bracket assembly with two movable arms, and drive power supply, allowing independent movement and positioning of the power supply while maintaining overall structural integrity and appearance integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the drive power supply has no fixed position or drawing track, then the structure is simple, but the secure mounting and installation become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidmounting security
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The movable bracket assembly provides a dynamic mounting structure where the drive power supply can be securely positioned at any angle during installation, then locked into place, combining structural simplicity with reliable secure mounting through controlled movement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The movable bracket assembly is pre-configured with hinge sections and engagement mechanisms that guide the drive power supply into the correct position during installation, ensuring secure mounting without requiring complex alignment procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

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

Enables easy operation and secure mounting of the recessed downlight assembly components by allowing the drive power supply to be easily accessed and hidden within a regulated motion track, ensuring proper installation and stability.

Implementation Method 1

A fixed hinge section and a first movable hinge section are respectively disposed at two ends of the first movable arm. A second movable hinge section is disposed at one end of the second movable arm. The first movable hinge section and the second movable hinge section are hinged with each other, whereby the first movable arm and the second movable arm can be rotated relative to each other.

AI summary

A light device with movable drive power supply and a recessed downlight assembly. The light device includes a movable bracket assembly, a drive power supply and a light body. The movable bracket assembly includes a first movable arm and a second movable arm. A first and a second movable hinge sections are hinged with each other, whereby the first and the second movable arms can be rotated relative to each other. The drive power supply is disposed on the second movable arm and connected with the light body via a conductive wire. By means of the relative rotation of the first and the second movable arms, the drive power supply and the second movable arm pass through a mounting hole to outside of a mounting panel. Such that, the drive power supply can be conveniently connected with the conductive wire of the light body.
