Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing UV panel lights have complex structures due to separate housings for UV and lighting modules, leading to high material utilization, cost, and weight issues, as well as complicated manufacturing and assembly processes.
Innovation Solution
A UV panel light design featuring a metal plate body with bent sections and accommodating grooves for the UV and lighting modules, along with a control circuit, simplifying manufacturing and assembly by integrating components within the same housing, reducing material usage, and enhancing stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the rear housing is made of several metal plates through welding, then the structural strength is improved, but the processing complexity increases, material utilization decreases, cost increases, and weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple metal plates into a single integrated housing structure that accommodates both the UV module and lighting module. This integration eliminates the need for welding multiple separate plates, reducing processing complexity while maintaining structural strength through the unified design of the housing body.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the UV module and lighting module are installed in different cavities, then the functional separation is improved, but the overall structure becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single housing body into distinct cavities or mounting areas for the UV module and lighting module. This segmentation allows functional separation within an integrated structure, maintaining both modules' independence while simplifying the overall housing design to a single piece rather than multiple separate components.
3Stability of the object's composition
If multiple metal plates are used for the housing, then the structural stability is improved, but the material utilization decreases, cost increases, and weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple metal plates into a single housing structure that provides the necessary structural stability. This integration improves material utilization by eliminating redundant materials from multiple plates, reducing overall weight, and lowering material costs while maintaining the structural integrity needed to support both UV and lighting modules.
