Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamps with long lamp posts are inconvenient for packaging and transportation, as they require large spaces and are prone to damage due to their size and structure.
Innovation Solution
A spliced lamp design featuring multiple connected lamp posts with light-transmitting covers, circuit boards, and a connector system that includes a snap ring, main body, and elastic buckle for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing for separate packaging and transportation of components to reduce space requirements and prevent damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a long lamp post is used to meet lighting requirements, then the lighting coverage is improved, but the packaging space requirement increases and transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is divided into multiple independent lamp post modules that can be packaged and transported separately. Each module contains a lamp post with integrated circuit board and light-transmitting cover, allowing them to be packed in smaller boxes rather than requiring a single large packaging space for the entire long lamp structure.
2Illumination intensity
If a long lamp post is used to meet lighting requirements, then the lighting coverage is improved, but the risk of damage during transportation increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the lamp into separate modules, each module is shorter and more manageable, reducing the risk of damage during transportation. The modular design allows each component to be packaged in protective boxes that are easier to handle and less prone to damage compared to a single long lamp post structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit board and light-transmitting cover are pre-installed on the lamp post before packaging. This preliminary assembly protects these components from damage during transportation while maintaining the functional integrity of the lamp module.
3Device complexity
If the lamp is designed as a single integrated unit, then the structure is simpler, but the packaging and transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is segmented into multiple independent modules, each with its own circuit board and light-transmitting cover pre-installed. This segmentation allows each module to be packaged separately in smaller boxes, making packaging and transportation more convenient while maintaining relatively simple individual module structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit board and light-transmitting cover are merged with the lamp post structure through integration, where the circuit board is fixed to the lamp post and the light-transmitting cover is positioned and fixed on the lamp post. This merging reduces the number of separate components while maintaining modular packaging capability.
4Illumination intensity
If multiple lamp posts are connected to form a long lighting structure, then the lighting coverage is improved, but the connection stability and ease of assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A connector is introduced as an intermediary component between adjacent lamp posts. The connector includes a snap ring that fits around the lamp posts and a buckle that can be inserted through holes in the lamp posts to secure them together. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the assembly process and ensures stable connections between multiple lamp post modules.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The spliced lamp design facilitates convenient packaging and transportation by allowing components to be packed separately, reducing the need for large packaging spaces and minimizing the risk of damage, while enabling quick and stable connection of lamp posts upon assembly.
Implementation Method 1
the edge of the through groove is integrally extended to form an elastic arm, and a buckle is arranged at a free end of the elastic arm. Through holes are formed in both ends of the lamp post, and the buckles are respectively buckled in the through holes of the adjacent lamp posts.
Implementation Method 2
a light-emitting part being arranged on the circuit board, light emitted by the light-emitting part being transmitted by the light-transmitting cover

AI summary
A spliced lamp, including a plurality of lamp posts connected in sequence. Light-transmitting covers are arranged at the sides of the lamp posts, the light-transmitting covers being fixed to the lamp posts, a circuit board being arranged in each lamp post, a light-emitting part being arranged on the circuit board, light emitted by the light-emitting part being transmitted by the light-transmitting cover, and adjacent lamp posts being connected through a connector. Before packaging and transportation, the circuit board and the light-transmitting cover are first installed on the lamp post, and then the lamp post is packaged and transported, so that the packaging space can be saved. During the packaging and transportation, an excessively long packaging box is not needed. After the transportation in place, adjacent lamp posts are connected by means of the connector, and the installation is convenient and quick.
