Solution Overview

Problem

Existing induction-type panel lamps suffer from aesthetic issues and damage to connecting wire harnesses due to open wires and vulnerability to foreign objects.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates a fixing frame with an accommodating groove and a second guide hole, allowing the connecting wire harness to be arranged within the groove, reducing open wires and enhancing aesthetic appeal while protecting against damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If open wire harnesses are used for connecting the light source component and sensing element, then the device complexity is reduced, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates and the wires become vulnerable to foreign objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structureVSAvoidaesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The wire harness is nested within the fixing frame structure. The fixing frame contains channels or grooves that guide and protect the wires internally, allowing the wires to be hidden within the lamp body while maintaining electrical connectivity between components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing frame acts as an intermediary structure that mediates between the wiring requirements and aesthetic requirements. It provides internal pathways for wire routing, serving as a protective enclosure that shields wires from external damage while preserving the lamp's visual appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If open wire harnesses are used for connecting the light source component and sensing element, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to damage from foreign objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring installationVSAvoidwiring protection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The wire harness is nested within the fixing frame structure. The fixing frame contains channels or grooves that guide and protect the wires internally, allowing the wires to be hidden within the lamp body while maintaining electrical connectivity between components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing frame provides pre-established protective pathways for the wires before they are exposed to potential foreign objects. The structural enclosure acts as a preventive measure, cushioning the wires from mechanical damage, moisture, and other environmental hazards before they can cause failures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
