Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ceiling fittings are not easily assembled or disassembled, leading to inconvenience and wasted time and energy for users.
Innovation Solution
A ceiling fitting design featuring a base with fixing holes, a mounting bracket with screws, a lampshade with locking members, and fasteners with threaded rods and nuts that allow for easy mounting and detachment of the lampshade by aligning and locking the nuts into the locking grooves of the lampshade's locking members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional ceiling fitting assembly methods are used, then the structure is stable, but the assembly and disassembly process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The ceiling fitting is divided into separate functional modules: a base unit, a mounting bracket, a lampshade assembly, and a lighting assembly. These modules can be independently assembled and disassembled through the fastening mechanism, enabling quick replacement and maintenance without dismantling the entire fixture.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening mechanism acts as an intermediary component that connects the mounting bracket and base. It features a quick-release design with lugs that engage with slots and locking members, allowing users to rapidly assemble or disassemble the fixture by simply manipulating the fasteners without complex tools or procedures.
2Ease of operation
If conventional fastening methods are used, then the connection is secure, but the fastening process requires multiple steps and tools
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening mechanism is designed to be self-contained and self-operating. The fasteners include integrated locking members with slots and lugs that automatically engage when the mounting bracket is positioned on the base. Users can quickly secure or release the connection by simply tightening or loosening the fasteners, without requiring alignment adjustments or additional tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening mechanism combines multiple functions into a single integrated component: the fastener simultaneously provides structural connection, positioning alignment through lugs and slots, and secure locking through the engagement of locking members. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate alignment and fastening steps.
3Ease of repair
If the lampshade is permanently fixed, then the structure is stable, but replacement and repair become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between the lampshade assembly and base transitions from a permanent fixed state to a dynamic, controllable state. The fastening mechanism allows the lampshade to be securely locked in position during normal use, yet can be quickly released and removed when replacement or maintenance is needed, providing both stability and flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket is pre-equipped with fastening mechanisms and locking members that are ready to engage with the base. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the lampshade assembly is installed, it automatically secures to the base through the pre-positioned fastening components, providing immediate stable connection that can be easily reversed.

AI summary
A ceiling fitting includes a base, a mounting bracket mounted on the base, a lampshade mounted on the base, a lighting assembly located between the base and the lampshade, and two fasteners locked onto the base and the mounting bracket. The lampshade has an inner wall provided with two locking members. The two fasteners are locked onto the two locking members. Thus, the two fasteners lock the mounting bracket on the base, and removably mount the lampshade on the base, thereby facilitating the user assembling and disassembling the ceiling fitting.
