Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solar outdoor decorative light groups face issues with water intrusion at connection joints, leading to short circuits and reduced service life, and require manual operation for turning on and off, resulting in a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A protection box for power extension lines with a movable shell design, waterproof rubber pads, and a control mechanism incorporating proximity, voice, and remote-control switches, along with a photovoltaic panel and battery system for automatic operation and weather sensors to manage power usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to turn on and off the light group, then the structure remains simple, but the user experience deteriorates due to cumbersome operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically turns on the lights at dusk and off at dawn using environmental light sensing, eliminating the need for manual operation. The control mechanism self-regulates based on ambient light conditions, providing convenient operation without requiring user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical switching with automated electronic control systems including light sensors, timers, and wireless communication modules. These electronic systems detect environmental conditions and automatically control the lighting, substituting mechanical manual operation with intelligent automated control.
2Reliability
If connection joints are exposed outdoors, then the structure remains simple, but water intrusion causes short circuits and reduces service life
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a protection box as an intermediary component between the connection joints and the outdoor environment. This protection box seals the electrical connection joints, preventing direct contact with water and moisture while allowing electrical connections to function normally. The protection box acts as a barrier that isolates vulnerable components from harmful environmental factors.
Solution Approach 2:
The protection box utilizes waterproof sealing structures including gaskets and sealing films to create a water-tight barrier around the connection joints. These flexible sealing elements conform to the connection interfaces and prevent water penetration while maintaining structural integrity in outdoor conditions.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a protection box for a power supply extension line, which includes a lower shell and an upper shell. The lower shell and the upper shell are movably connected together, both ends of the lower shell and the upper shell are provided with a groove. Each groove is embedded with a waterproof rubber pad, a limit component is provided in the lower shell and the upper shell. Each limit component includes two relatively arranged sleeves, the sleeve is rotationally connected with a vertical rod, an end of each vertical rod away from the sleeve is fixedly connected with a baffle, the baffle is inclined. The present disclosure can effectively prevent water and dust from entering a connection position 10 between the male and female plugs in most cases by installing a protective box at the connection position, thereby extending the service life of the system.
