Solar Lamp Mounting with Detachable Board and Ground Plug
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional solar lamps have limited versatility as they cannot be easily switched between being fixed to a wall or ground, and their positioning devices often rust, making it difficult to change installation positions or remove the lamp.
Innovation Solution
A multi-purpose solar lamp design featuring a detachable positioning board and a plug-in part that can be simultaneously or alternately combined with the lamp, allowing it to be securely fixed to various surfaces or inserted into the ground, with a tapered cross-shaped plug-in part for easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a conventional positioning device (screws or nails) is used to fix the lamp to a wall or plane, then the lamp can be securely fixed, but the lamp cannot be easily removed or repositioned, and the screws/nails may rust over time
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning device is divided into two separate components: a positioning board with positioning holes for wall mounting, and a separate plug-in part for ground insertion. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while enabling easy interchange between mounting methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning board is detachably connected to the base through hooks that can be engaged or disengaged. This dynamic connection allows the user to easily remove the positioning board from the wall and reattach it to a different location, providing flexibility without requiring tools for removal.
2Device complexity
If the lamp is designed with a fixed positioning device for one specific mounting method, then the mounting structure is simple, but the lamp cannot be used for multiple mounting purposes (wall or ground)
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with universal adaptability by incorporating both a positioning board interface (with hooks) and a plug-in part interface (with plug holes). This allows the same base to accommodate multiple mounting methods (wall mounting via positioning board or ground insertion via plug-in part) without requiring different base designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning board acts as an intermediary component between the base and the wall surface. It provides a versatile mounting interface that can be attached to various wall surfaces while maintaining a simple connection to the base through hooks, enabling flexible wall mounting without complicating the base structure.
3Strength
If screws and nails are used to fix the lamp, then the lamp can be securely attached, but they rust easily in outdoor environments making removal difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful element (screws and nails that rust) is extracted from the system and replaced with rust-resistant alternatives. The positioning board uses hooks made of rust-resistant materials, and the plug-in part provides a non-metallic or corrosion-resistant insertion method, eliminating the rust problem while maintaining secure attachment.
4Ease of operation
If a pointed conical positioning device is used to plug the lamp into the ground, then the installation is simple, but the lamp cannot be subsequently mounted to a wall or plane
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning functionality is segmented into two separate detachable components: a positioning board for wall mounting and a plug-in part for ground insertion. This segmentation allows the user to attach only the necessary component for the current installation location, enabling easy switching between mounting methods by simply detaching and reattaching components.

AI summary
A multi-purpose solar lamp includes an illumination lamp powered by solar power, a positioning board detachably fixed onto a wall or any plane, and a plug-in part pluggable into the ground. The positioning board and the plug-in part can be simultaneously or alternately combined to the back of the illumination lamp to allow users to conveniently fix the illumination lamp to the wall or a wooden or concrete ground or plug the plug-in part into the ground/soil as needed to achieve a multi-purpose effect.
