Ceiling Fan Lamp Mounting With Elastic Positioning
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing lamp installation structure of ceiling fans is inconvenient for users as it does not allow for lamp replacement or adjustment of lighting brightness, and the integration with the ceiling fan leads to potential safety issues due to loose screws during vibration.
Innovation Solution
A lamp installation structure featuring two bases with positioning members and elastic members that securely attach to the ceiling fan, allowing for quick installation and enhanced stability, with elastic members compressing to secure positioning members and prevent disengagement during vibration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the lamp is integrated with and fixed to the ceiling fan using screws, then the lamp can be securely attached, but the screws may become loose or displaced during long-term vibration, causing the lamp to fall
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing member is divided into a connecting cap body and a separate fixing base. The connecting cap body contains an inner groove seat portion with a bottom plate that has multiple engaging grooves, while the fixing base has corresponding positioning holes and engaging protrusions. This segmentation allows the lamp to be securely attached through the engaging grooves and positioning holes structure, distributing the attachment points and preventing single-point failure during vibration.
Solution Approach 2:
The bottom plate of the connecting cap body acts as an intermediary element between the lamp and the fixing member. It provides engaging grooves that guide and secure the positioning holes of the fixing base, creating a stable connection that resists vibration. The intermediary structure ensures that the lamp remains firmly attached without direct screw-to-surface contact that could loosen.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the lamp is integrated with the ceiling fan, then the ceiling fan provides lighting effect, but the user cannot replace the lamp or change lighting brightness
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp assembly is segmented from the ceiling fan motor assembly through the use of a separate connecting cap body and fixing base. The lamp can be independently attached or detached by simply removing the fixing base from the connecting cap body, allowing users to replace lamps or adjust lighting brightness without affecting the ceiling fan operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing mechanism transitions from a permanent fixed state to a dynamically adjustable state. The lamp can be easily attached by aligning the positioning holes with engaging grooves and secured by rotating the fixing base, and equally easily removed by reversing the process. This dynamic fixing mechanism provides both secure attachment during use and convenient replacement when needed.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables quick installation and increased stability of the ceiling fan lamp, preventing the lamp from falling and ensuring safety by maintaining secure attachment even during long-term vibration.
Implementation Method 1
The elastic members each have an elastic portion. The elastic portion has a pressing end adjacent to the corresponding groove and an abutting end away from the corresponding groove. When the elastic members are in a normal state, the pressing end and the abutting end of the elastic portion of each elastic member are located in the first space of the corresponding guide rail. When the corresponding positioning member presses against the pressing end of the elastic portion of each elastic member, the elastic portion of each elastic member is in a stressed state, and the elastic portion of each elastic member is radially elastically displaced and compressed to the second space of the corresponding guide rail

AI summary
A lamp installation structure of a ceiling fan has a first base connected to a fixing seat of the ceiling fan and a second base connected to a lamp. The first base is provided with a plurality of positioning members. The second base has grooves and guide rails corresponding to the positioning members for insertion of the positioning members. The guide rails are provided with a plurality of elastic members to elastically press against the positioning members. Thereby, through the positioning members being retained to the guide rails, the lamp installation structure of the ceiling fan has the advantages of quick installation and increased stability of the ceiling fan.
