Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional ceiling lamps are not easily assembled or disassembled, and the color temperature regulating switch is inconveniently located, requiring users to remove the lampshade to adjust the color temperature.

Innovation Solution

A ceiling lamp design featuring a main unit with a detachable wall plate and a membrane button on the lamp disk, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and enabling direct color temperature regulation without removing the lampshade.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the color temperature regulating switch is arranged in the lamp body mounted on the ceiling, then the ceiling lamp has color temperature regulating function, but the user has to remove the lampshade from the lamp body for regulating the color temperature, causing inconvenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor temperature regulation convenienceVSAvoidlampshade removal requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent moves the color temperature regulating switch from the traditional ceiling-mounted lamp body to the lamp disk, which is accessible from below. This dimensional relocation allows users to operate the switch without removing the lampshade, as the switch is now positioned on the visible surface of the lamp disk rather than hidden in the ceiling-mounted body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp disk serves as an intermediary element that provides access to the color temperature regulating switch. By placing the switch on the lamp disk, the patent creates a new accessible interface between the user and the color temperature control function, eliminating the need to disassemble the lampshade to reach the control switch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If the conventional ceiling lamp uses a fixed mounted structure, then the lamp is stable and reliable, but the lamp is not assembled and disassembled easily and conveniently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly and disassembly easeVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the ceiling lamp into separable modules: a wall plate for ceiling mounting and a lamp body containing the lighting components. This segmentation allows the lamp to be easily assembled by attaching the lamp body to the wall plate and disassembled by detaching these modules, while maintaining stable mounting through the wall plate's secure ceiling attachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the lamp disk is fixed to the lamp body, then the structure is stable, but the lamp disk cannot be easily removed for cleaning or replacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelamp disk accessibilityVSAvoidlamp disk attachment stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a detachable connection mechanism between the lamp disk and lamp body, allowing the lamp disk to be easily removed and reattached. This dynamic connection enables users to access the lamp disk for cleaning or replacement while maintaining stable attachment during normal operation through the designed locking or snap-fit mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
