Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamps require manual welding of the connecting port and lamp body, leading to a complicated assembly process and prolonged preparation time.
Innovation Solution
A lamp with a plug-in electrical connection structure featuring a modular electrical connector that allows for automatic assembly of the lamp body and electrical connector, eliminating the need for manual welding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the connecting port and lamp body are integrally arranged, then the lamp structure is simplified, but the assembly process becomes more complicated and requires manual welding
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the lamp into separate modules: the lamp body and the electrical connector are independent components that can be manufactured separately and then assembled together through a plug-in connection mechanism, eliminating the need for manual welding while maintaining structural simplicity
2Reliability
If manual welding is used to connect the connecting port and lamp body, then the connection is stable, but the preparation time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the welding process (thermal/mechanical system) with a mechanical plug-in connection system. The electrical connector features a plug structure with positioning protrusions that fit into corresponding slots on the lamp body, providing stable electrical and mechanical connections without requiring welding operations
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical connector is pre-assembled with the power supply box before being installed on the lamp body. This preliminary assembly allows for standardized production and quality control, and the pre-assembled unit can be quickly attached to the lamp body through the plug-in mechanism, reducing on-site preparation time

AI summary
Disclosed in the present disclosure is a lamp having a plug-in electrical connection structure, including a lamp body and an electrical connector, where an assembly surface of the lamp body is provided with a protruding part, and a plug slot adapted to the protruding part is formed on the electrical connector; the electrical connector further includes a conducting strip, a first end of which protrudes from a first surface of the electrical connector, and a second of which extends to an inner side wall of the plug slot. The modularly designed electrical connector is in plug assembly with the lamp body through the plug slot, so that automatic production is realized, thereby effectively improving the production rate.
