Bendable Bolt LED Ceiling Lamp Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ceiling lamps with glass translucent covers are difficult to install due to their weight and fragility, requiring two hands and posing a risk of accidental falling or breakage during installation.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates bendable installation column-shaped bolts that allow the press ring to be pre-connected to the base plate, enabling one-handed installation of the glass translucent cover by allowing the press ring to be hung below the base plate, reducing the need for two hands and minimizing the risk of damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a glass translucent cover is used to replace plastic cover, then the hardness and heat dissipation are improved, but the weight increases and fragility increases making installation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The installation process is segmented into two stages: first connecting the press ring to the base plate using bendable bolts, then separately installing the translucent cover. This segmentation allows the heavy glass cover to be installed last when the supporting structure is already in place, improving installation convenience without compromising the hardness benefit of glass material.
Solution Approach 2:
The bendable installation column-shaped bolt introduces dynamic flexibility to the otherwise rigid glass covering structure. The bolt can bend during installation to accommodate the weight and fragility of the glass cover, then maintains structural integrity after installation, thus resolving the contradiction between hardness and installation ease.
2Strength
If a press ring is added to support the glass translucent cover, then the structural support is improved, but the device complexity increases and installation becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The press ring is merged with the installation column-shaped bolts to form an integrated fastening system. The bolts serve dual purposes: connecting the press ring to the base plate and securing the translucent cover to the press ring, thereby reducing the number of separate components while maintaining structural support.
Solution Approach 2:
The bendable bolt design allows the press ring structure to adapt dynamically during installation, simplifying the connection process despite the added structural support requirement. The dynamic flexibility compensates for the increased device complexity by making the additional component easier to install.
3Reliability
If the press ring is connected to the base plate before installing the translucent cover, then the risk of cover falling is reduced, but the installation process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The press ring is preliminarily connected to the base plate using bendable bolts before the translucent cover is installed. This preliminary action creates a stable supporting structure that prevents the cover from falling during installation, improving reliability. The bendable bolt design keeps the additional installation step simple and intuitive.
4Reliability
If multiple installation column-shaped bolts are used to secure the press ring, then the fixation reliability is improved, but the installation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bendable installation column-shaped bolts enable rapid sequential installation. The dynamic flexibility allows each bolt to be quickly connected without precise alignment, reducing the time penalty associated with using multiple bolts while maintaining high fixation reliability through the multi-bolt configuration.

AI summary
The present application relates to an easy-to-install LED double-ring ceiling lamp, including a base plate, a LED light source board, a driving power supply, a translucent cover and a press ring. The LED light source board and the driving power supply are installed on the base plate, the translucent cover is covered on the base plate, and the press ring is covered outside the translucent cover and configured to support the translucent cover. The press ring and the base plate are detachably connected by multiple installation column-shaped bolts, and at least one of the multiple installation column-shaped bolts is a bendable installation column-shaped bolt.
