Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamp control devices are inflexible, unable to adjust brightness, light duration, or energy-saving parameters after installation, requiring lamp replacement for upgrades or mode changes, leading to inconvenience and high costs.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable and pluggable control interface device with a sensor, featuring a PCB, sensing portion, and adjusting portions that allow for rotating electrical pins to adjust output signals, enabling dimming, duration setting, and energy-saving parameter adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional lamp uses an integrated control module, then the control function is built-in, but the control mode cannot be adjusted after the lamp is manufactured, requiring lamp replacement for upgrades
Solution Approach 1:
The control device is divided into a sensor portion and an adjusting portion that can be independently separated. The sensor portion interfaces with the lamp while the adjusting portion can be independently adjusted or replaced, allowing control mode changes without replacing the entire lamp.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjusting portion is extracted as a separate, detachable component from the integrated control module. This allows the adjusting portion to be independently modified or replaced to change control modes while keeping the lamp and sensor portion intact.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional pluggable control device is used, then the lamp can be controlled to light or extinguish, but brightness adjustment and duration setting functions are missing
Solution Approach 1:
The control device is designed to perform multiple functions including light on/off control, brightness dimming, duration setting, and energy-saving parameter adjustment. The sensor portion detects user input while the adjusting portion processes multiple control parameters to achieve comprehensive lamp control.
3Ease of manufacture
If the control module is integrated with the lamp, then the structure is compact, but upgrading or updating the control mode requires replacing the entire lamp
Solution Approach 1:
The control device is segmented into a sensor portion that interfaces with the lamp and an adjusting portion that can be independently replaced. This segmentation allows the adjusting portion to be upgraded or updated without replacing the lamp or sensor portion, improving upgradability while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional control device is used, then the basic switching function is achieved, but energy-saving parameters and proportion cannot be adjusted after installation
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting portion is extracted as a separate, user-adjustable component that can be modified after installation. This allows energy-saving parameters and proportions to be adjusted post-installation without requiring professional intervention or lamp replacement, saving time and improving flexibility.
