Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional ceiling fans with integrated lamps lack assembly convenience and safety due to loose screws that can loosen or fall off during vibration, causing the lamp to fall and posing safety risks.

Innovation Solution

A quick assembling structure featuring a first seat with radially arranged positioning members and a second seat with recesses and guide holes that allow for secure and easy assembly and disassembly of the ceiling fan and lamp, using positioning members that are inserted and tightened within the guide holes and retained by locking grooves to prevent loosening and falling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If screws are used to connect the lamp to the ceiling fan, then the assembly is simple, but the screws loosen or fall off during vibration causing safety issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure is divided into multiple functional components: positioning members for alignment, guide holes for insertion paths, locking grooves for retention, and tightening ends for securing. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function, preventing the lamp from loosening during vibration while maintaining assembly simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate structures between the lamp and ceiling fan, including positioning members that fit into guide holes and locking grooves that retain the connection. These intermediary elements act as mediators that prevent direct screw loosening while maintaining the simple assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the lamp is integrally connected to the ceiling fan, then the structure is stable, but users cannot change the lamp style or brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidlamp customization
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure is designed as separable modular components that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The positioning members, guide holes, and locking grooves create a stable yet reversible connection, allowing users to remove and replace lamps while maintaining structural integrity during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection structure transitions from a static integral connection to a dynamic reversible connection. The tightening ends allow the positioning members to be securely locked during operation for stability, but can be easily released for lamp replacement, providing both structural stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If conventional fixing methods are used, then the installation is straightforward, but the lamp may fall during prolonged use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation convenienceVSAvoidlong-term safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning members are pre-configured with positioning holes that align with guide holes in the ceiling fan structure. This preliminary positioning ensures correct alignment during installation, making the assembly straightforward while the subsequent locking into guide holes and tightening at the ends ensures long-term safety prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The guide holes and locking grooves act as intermediary structures that guide the positioning members into correct positions and retain them securely. This intermediary mechanism maintains installation convenience while preventing lamp failure during prolonged use through the retentive locking structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A quick assembling structure for a ceiling fan with a lamp includes a first seat and a second seat. A first peripheral wall of the first seat is radially provided with a plurality of positioning members. The second seat has a second peripheral wall to be sleeved onto the first peripheral wall. The second peripheral wall has recesses that are recessed radially and correspond to the respective positioning members. The second peripheral wall is formed with guide holes corresponding to and communicating with the respective recesses. Through the positioning members to be inserted into the recesses and the guide holes and tightened in the guide holes, the first peripheral wall of the first seat is connected to the second peripheral wall of the second seat so as to assemble the ceiling fan and the lamp quickly.
