Panel Lamp Mounting Groove and Bendable Suspensions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing panel lamps are difficult to mount onto overhead structures due to their large volume and weight, requiring complex and time-consuming installation processes.
Innovation Solution
A panel lamp design featuring a bottom case with a mounting groove, bendable suspending assemblies, and a frameless structure that allows easy hanging and secure attachment to overhead structures, enabling simple and reliable mounting without the need for additional tools or assistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the panel lamp uses a traditional mounting structure with frame and multiple components, then the structural strength and stability are improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of mounting increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the mounting function directly into the lamp body by forming a mounting groove around the periphery of the light-emitting panel. This eliminates the need for separate mounting brackets, frames, or additional fastening components, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining mounting strength through the integrated groove structure that directly engages with the ceiling or wall surface.
2Reliability
If the panel lamp uses a traditional mounting structure with multiple components, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the ease of operation and installation time are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting groove is segmented into multiple engagement points around the periphery of the light-emitting panel, allowing the lamp to be securely mounted at multiple locations simultaneously. This segmented approach distributes the mounting load and provides reliable fixation while enabling simple installation - the lamp body can be directly engaged with the mounting surface at multiple points without requiring complex assembly steps or multiple separate components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the panel lamp uses a traditional mounting structure, then the adaptability to different mounting surfaces is improved, but the device complexity and installation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting groove is designed as a universal interface that can engage with various types of mounting surfaces including ceilings, walls, and overhead structures. The groove geometry allows compatibility with different mounting methods and surface types without requiring specialized components for each application, thereby providing broad adaptability while maintaining a simple, single integrated mounting structure rather than multiple specialized mounting systems.

Implementation Method 1
at least two bendable suspending assemblies arranged at two opposite sides of the bottom case
Data Source
AI summary
A panel lamp includes a bottom case, a lamp cover, a lighting assembly arranged between the bottom case and the lamp cover, at least two bendable suspending assemblies arranged at two opposite sides of the bottom case. The bottom case defines a mounting groove, and an edge of the lamp cover is configured to be received into the mounting groove. The suspending assemblies are configured to hang the bottom case onto an overhead structure.
