Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LED light bodies are inconvenient to dismount and prone to damage due to the need for separation from joint assemblies by pulling in a certain direction, which affects their service life.
Innovation Solution
The spliced light design features mounting holes with upper openings and elastic clamping pieces on joint assemblies, allowing light bodies to be vertically inserted and clamped, with additional features like connecting blocks and chamfered surfaces for stable positioning and fixing, enabling convenient mounting and dismounting without lateral pulling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the light body is connected with the joint assembly in an inserted manner requiring separation by pulling, then the connection is simple to manufacture, but the dismounting is inconvenient and prone to damaging the light body and joint assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by using elastic clamping pieces that can dynamically adjust their clamping force. The elastic pieces are designed to be deformable, allowing them to flex during insertion and then spring back to securely hold the light body. This dynamic characteristic enables easy insertion while maintaining secure connection, and allows controlled release for dismounting without damaging components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by utilizing the elastic properties of the clamping pieces. The elastic modulus and deformation characteristics of these pieces are specifically designed to provide sufficient clamping force during operation but allow controlled deformation during insertion and removal. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between secure connection and easy dismounting.
2Ease of operation
If the light body is pulled in a direction opposite to the joint assembly for dismounting, then the light body can be separated from the joint assembly, but the service life of the joint assembly is reduced due to potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic clamping pieces provide dynamic clamping that adapts to insertion and removal forces. During normal operation, they maintain strong clamping force for reliable connection. During dismounting, their elastic nature allows controlled deformation to release the light body without transmitting damaging forces to the joint assembly structure, thus preserving service life.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic clamping pieces act as a cushioning mechanism that absorbs and dissipates mechanical stresses during insertion and removal operations. This beforehand cushioning protects the joint assembly from impact and shear forces that would otherwise reduce its service life, while still allowing effective dismounting when needed.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a spliced light. Mounting holes with openings in upper ends are formed in each joint assembly, and clamping portions located on side walls of outer sides of the mounting holes are arranged on the joint assembly; and the clamping portions are elastic clamping pieces, the elastic clamping pieces located on the side walls of the outer sides of the mounting holes are arranged on the joint assembly, and light bodies are spliced into the mounting holes vertically and clamped through the elastic clamping pieces. By forming the mounting holes with the openings in the upper ends, the light bodies are inserted into the mounting holes from above and clamped through the clamping portions, so that the light bodies are more convenient to mount and dismount and do not need to be pulled in a direction towards two sides by a certain distance for dismounting.
