Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional sensor lamps require complex mounting and wiring processes, leading to high costs, unsightly wire arrangements, and balance issues due to the placement of sensors on the side surface of illumination lamps, making them difficult for clients to assemble and increasing the overall cost beyond the value of the illumination lamp.

Innovation Solution

A sensor and illumination lamp system where the sensor is detachably connected to a mounting base using telescopic conductive pins and a contact PCB module, eliminating the need for external wiring and allowing for quick, blind-mate mounting and disassembly, with a design that supports various sensing modules and interfaces for versatile functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the sensor is mounted on the side surface of the lamp body using a bracket and screw, then the sensor can be securely fixed, but the assembly becomes complex, occupies large space, and causes balance issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor fixation stabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the sensor mounting function directly into the lamp body structure by integrating a mounting cavity and positioning features within the lamp housing. This eliminates the need for separate brackets and screws, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining secure sensor fixation. The sensor is directly receivable in the lamp body through the integrated mounting cavity with positioning columns and elastic columns providing stable fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If traditional wiring methods are used to connect the sensor to the internal circuit, then electrical connection can be achieved, but wires become scattered and unsightly, and installation becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the wiring complexity from the traditional setup by providing a pre-integrated electrical connection structure within the lamp body. The sensor connects to the internal circuit through built-in contact points and conductive elements that are already positioned within the mounting cavity, eliminating the need for separate wire routing and connection steps. This maintains reliable electrical connection while dramatically simplifying installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If a waterproof junction box is configured for AC input end control, then wiring insulation and protection are achieved, but cost and device size increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring protectionVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the waterproof protection function into the lamp body's existing sealed structure. The mounting cavity and sensor housing utilize the lamp body's inherent waterproof design, eliminating the need for a separate waterproof junction box. The elastic columns and positioning features are designed to maintain sealing integrity while providing electrical connection, thus maintaining wiring protection without increasing device size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If the sensor is mounted on the side surface, then the sensor can be installed, but the illumination lamp becomes unbalanced due to unequal counterweights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor installabilityVSAvoidlamp balance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent addresses the balance issue by providing multiple mounting cavity options at different positions and orientations on the lamp body. The asymmetric design allows the sensor to be mounted at various locations depending on the specific lamp type and balance requirements. The positioning columns and elastic columns can be configured to accommodate different mounting scenarios while maintaining lamp balance through strategic placement of the mounting cavity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
