Solution Overview

Problem

Current outdoor lamps have fixed photoreceptor mounting bases, preventing the adjustment of the photoreceptor's position and direction to accurately receive changing external light rays.

Innovation Solution

A photoreceptor mounting base with a housing and a rotatable rotation member, allowing for the adjustment of the photoreceptor's position and direction through a mechanism involving a key, elastic member, and sliding block, enabling 360-degree rotation and secure fixation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the photoreceptor mounting base is fixedly mounted, then the structure is simple and stable, but the position and direction of the photoreceptor cannot be adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of photoreceptor position and directionVSAvoidcomplexity of mounting base structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed mounting base into a dynamic adjustable structure by introducing a rotation member that can rotate relative to the housing. The rotation member is connected to the housing through a rotation axis, allowing the photoreceptor to be adjusted to different positions and directions while maintaining structural stability through the key locking mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the photoreceptor mounting base is fixedly mounted, then the structure is stable, but the external changed light rays cannot be accurately received

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of light ray receptionVSAvoidease of adjusting photoreceptor position
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-locking mechanism where the key, under the action of the elastic member, automatically engages with the teeth on the rotation member to fix the photoreceptor at the desired position. The elastic member provides the necessary force to push the key into engagement with the teeth, eliminating the need for additional locking operations and ensuring reliable positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of lamps, and in particular, disclose a photoreceptor mounting base and a lamp. A photoreceptor mounting base includes a housing and a rotation member. The housing is provided with a receiving cavity and an opening that communicates with the receiving cavity. The rotation member is received in the receiving cavity and is rotatably connected to the housing. The rotation member is configured to mount a photoreceptor, and a part of the photoreceptor is exposed to the opening. By means of the preceding modes, the embodiments of the present application can implement: through the rotation of the rotation member, the rotation of the photoreceptor can be implemented; a photoreceptive lens disposed on an exposed part of the photoreceptor can rotate around an axis of the rotation member, so as to implement accurate induction of changing light rays outside by the photoreceptor.
