Underground Lamp Panel Buffer Space Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Underground lamps are prone to breakage due to pressure from being treaded on, as their panels are flush with the ground and lack adequate protection.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a seal ring and a reflection cup with a support ring made of rubber, which together form a buffer space between the panel and the lamp body, reducing the risk of damage from pressure. Additionally, a rotation shaft assembly allows for adjustable light direction, and a waterproof adjustment hole member ensures durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the panel is made flush with the ground to achieve space saving and good light emission effect, then the aesthetic appearance and light emission are improved, but the panel becomes liable to pressure from being treaded and has a high risk of breakage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by introducing a buffer space between the panel and the lamp body, filled with rubber material. This buffer space is created beforehand to absorb and mitigate pressure from external forces (such as being treaded), preventing the panel from breaking while maintaining its flush mounting with the ground for aesthetic and lighting purposes.
2Volume of moving object
If the panel is made flush with the ground to achieve space saving, then the space utilization is improved, but the panel becomes vulnerable to external pressure and damage
Solution Approach 1:
The buffer space filled with rubber material serves as a pre-established protective mechanism that absorbs external pressure before it can reach and damage the panel, thereby maintaining both the space-saving flush mounting and the durability of the panel.
Solution Approach 2:
The rubber material used in the buffer space acts as a flexible element that can deform under pressure and then return to its original shape, providing continuous protection to the panel while allowing the panel to remain flush with the ground surface.
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 buffer space significantly reduces the risk of panel damage from pressure, while the adjustable light direction and waterproof features enhance the lamp's functionality and durability.
Implementation Method 1
the support ring is made of a rubber material, the installation port has an installation port inner edge, and the installation port inner edge has an abutment step circumferentially surrounded by the installation port; the panel covers the abutment ring and is fixed to the lamp body, the seal ring is disposed between the abutment ring and the panel, the seal ring is pressed by the panel and the abutment ring in cooperation, the support ring is disposed between the abutment step and the panel, and the support ring is pressed by the panel and the abutment step in cooperation

AI summary
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an underground lamp which comprises a lamp body, a seal ring, a reflection cup and a panel. In the present disclosure, the seal ring and a reflection cup provided with a support ring are adopted, and the support ring and the seal ring together support the panel so as to form a buffer space between the panel and the lamp body, thereby reducing the risk of damaging the panel caused by being pressed.
