Ball Lamp with Supporting Part for Stable Placement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ball lamps are limited in usage scenarios as they tend to roll when placed in a horizontal position, restricting their decorative applications.
Innovation Solution
The ball lamp design incorporates a supporting part on the spherical lampshade, allowing it to be placed flat in a horizontal position, while also featuring a lighting device with a battery compartment and conductive assembly for efficient power supply and light emission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the ball lamp is designed without a supporting part, then the structure remains simple, but the ball lamp cannot be placed in horizontal position and will roll, limiting usage scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting part is designed to enable the ball lamp to function in multiple positions: it provides structural support for horizontal placement on surfaces while not interfering with the hanging function when suspended. This multi-functional design allows the same component to serve both horizontal and vertical usage scenarios, increasing adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity
2Stability of the object's composition
If the ball lamp is placed in horizontal position without a supporting part, then the structure remains simple, but the ball lamp will roll and cannot remain stable
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting part is strategically positioned at a specific location on the spherical lampshade rather than distributing support throughout the entire structure. This localized approach provides the necessary stability for horizontal placement while minimizing the overall structural complexity and material usage
3Ease of manufacture
If the lighting device is integrated with the hanging part, then the number of components is reduced and manufacturing is facilitated, but the lighting function and hanging function become coupled
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is integrated with the hanging part by mounting the battery compartment on the hanging part structure and routing wires through the same assembly path. This merging reduces the total number of separate components, simplifies assembly operations, and facilitates manufacturing while maintaining functional independence through proper electrical isolation
