Adjustable Lamp Holder for Flush Installation of Variable-Height Lamps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The lack of standardization in lamp heights and dimensions restricts the use of lamps with different vertical dimensions for flush installation in household appliances, limiting user choice and increasing costs due to dependency on specific manufacturers and potential obsolescence of compatible light sources.
Innovation Solution
A lamp holder with a support body and a socket body that can be variably positioned relative to each other, allowing for adjustable installation depth to accommodate lamps of different lengths, enabling flush installation and reducing manufacturer restrictions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a fixed lamp holder design is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it restricts the selection of lamps to specific manufacturers and dimensions
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp holder incorporates a movable socket body that can be adjusted along the installation direction relative to the support body. This dynamic positioning capability allows the socket body to accommodate lamps of different lengths while maintaining flush installation, thereby resolving the contradiction between simple fixed structure and lamp compatibility.
2Manufacturing precision
If the socket body is fixed relative to the support body, then the manufacturing precision is easier to control, but lamps with different vertical dimensions cannot be installed flush
Solution Approach 1:
The socket body is designed to be movable relative to the support body in the installation direction, enabling adjustment to different positions. This dynamic design allows lamps of various vertical dimensions to be installed flush with the household appliance surface while maintaining controlled manufacturing precision through defined movement constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp holder is divided into two main components: a support body connected to the household appliance and a socket body that accommodates the lamp. This segmentation allows the socket body to be independently positioned and adjusted relative to the support body, enabling adaptation to different lamp dimensions.
3Reliability
If manufacturer-specific lamp specifications are enforced, then flush installation is ensured, but user choice and competition are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp holder is designed with universal compatibility to accommodate lamps from different manufacturers with varying dimensions. The movable socket body can be adjusted to fit various lamp types while ensuring flush installation, thereby providing reliability without restricting manufacturer selection.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the socket body is made movable, then lamps with different dimensions can be accommodated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp holder is segmented into a support body and a socket body that can move relative to each other. This segmentation enables the socket body to be positioned at different locations along the installation direction, accommodating lamps of different dimensions without requiring complex overall restructuring.
Solution Approach 2:
The socket body is designed with movable capability along the installation direction, providing the necessary adaptability for different lamp dimensions. This dynamic feature is implemented in a controlled manner, allowing adjustment while maintaining reasonable structural simplicity.
