Solution Overview

Problem

Current sterilizing panel lamps have inconvenient maintenance and replacement processes due to their design, which exposes the structure and requires disassembly of the frame for accessing the sterilization assembly, disrupting the aesthetic and functional installation.

Innovation Solution

A sterilizing panel lamp design featuring a frame body at the bottom with an inlet grille, lighting assembly, and outlet grille arranged in sequence to form an air flow passage, allowing for concealed installation and easy maintenance by detaching the inlet grille for access to the sterilization assembly without disassembling the shell.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the inlet grille and outlet grille are arranged on the sides of the panel lamp, then the sterilization function is achieved, but the installation appearance is abrupt and most of the structure cannot be hidden inside the ceiling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation appearanceVSAvoidconcealed installation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent relocates the inlet grille, lighting assembly, and outlet grille from the side arrangement to the bottom arrangement of the panel lamp. This dimensional change in component layout enables the components to be concealed within the ceiling structure, achieving a hidden installation appearance while maintaining full functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of repair

If the frame of the panel lamp is removed to access the sterilization assembly for maintenance, then the sterilization assembly can be replaced, but the handling is inconvenient and requires disassembly of the entire frame

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesterilization assembly accessibilityVSAvoiddisassembly procedure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the inlet grille detachable from the frame body, creating a segmented structure that allows independent access to the sterilization assembly. This segmentation enables maintenance personnel to remove only the inlet grille to access and replace the sterilization assembly, without needing to disassemble the entire frame structure, thereby simplifying the maintenance procedure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the inlet grille is detachably arranged between the frame body and lighting assembly, then maintenance of sterilization assembly is convenient, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance convenienceVSAvoidgrille arrangement structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the inlet grille as a separate, detachable component from the integrated frame structure. This extraction allows the inlet grille to be independently removed for maintenance access while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. The detachable design provides easy maintenance access without requiring complex disassembly mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

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

This design enhances the ease of assembly and disassembly of the germicidal module, improves air flow circulation efficiency, and maintains a concealed installation mode for better aesthetics and functionality while reducing labor costs.

Implementation Method 1

at least one fan, the fan being disposed in the air flow path, the fan rotating to increase the speed at which air enters from the inlet grille and blows out of the outlet grille through the air flow path
