Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current MR 16 LED spotlights face challenges with low internal space utilization, inadequate power supply capacity, and poor wireless communication due to metal shielding interference, limiting their brightness and compatibility with existing standards.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a double-segment-nested cup design for the LED lamp, which includes a detachable cylindrical cup structure for improved space utilization and a strategically arranged antenna to minimize metal shielding interference, allowing for increased power supply and enhanced wireless communication capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the cup size is lengthened to accommodate a larger power supply, then the power supply capacity is improved, but the lamp size exceeds the existing standard and fails to match existing products and applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies nesting by placing the first cup segment inside the second cup segment, forming a nested structure. This allows the power supply to be accommodated within the nested configuration without increasing the overall lamp dimensions beyond standard sizes, resolving the contradiction between power supply capacity and lamp size.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-dimensional cup structure to a double-segment nested three-dimensional configuration. By utilizing the nested arrangement in multiple spatial dimensions, the design accommodates larger power supply capacity while maintaining compliance with standard lamp size specifications.
2Ease of repair
If a three-section type design with separate lens, cup, and joint is adopted, then the light source and power supply can be repaired respectively, but the space utilization of the inner space of the cup is too low to accommodate a larger-size power supply
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the cup into two detachable segments (first cup segment and second cup segment) that can be separated from each other. This segmentation maintains the repairability advantage of modular design while creating sufficient internal space within the nested configuration to accommodate a larger power supply, resolving the contradiction between repairability and power supply size.
3Power
If the cup size is increased to meet power requirements, then the power supply capacity is improved, but the contour size exceeds IEC or ANSI standard requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The nested configuration of the first cup segment within the second cup segment allows the power supply to be housed in a compact arrangement that meets standard contour size requirements while providing sufficient capacity. The nesting efficiently utilizes the available volume without exceeding standard dimensional limits.
4Length of stationary object
If a single-color MR 16 or R/G/B color-changing MR 16 with 2W power is used, then the lamp size meets standards, but the brightness is too low and color separation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The nested cup structure enables the housing of higher-power LED components (6W single-color or R/G/B color-changing) within the standard MR16 form factor. The efficient space utilization of the nested configuration allows increased power density, thereby achieving higher brightness and better color mixing without exceeding standard lamp dimensions.
