Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ceiling lamps face difficulties in assembly due to cumbersome dual-purpose mounting processes and limited hole opening sizes, making it impossible to share products across different mounting modes.

Innovation Solution

A dual-purpose mounting mode ceiling lamp mounting device featuring a main body bracket with detachable connecting assemblies and a junction box connection hole, allowing for slidable and adjustable connections to accommodate various mounting scenarios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If ceiling lamps are designed for specific mounting modes (junction box or free hole opening), then the mounting process becomes standardized, but product sharing between different mounting modes becomes impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting process standardizationVSAvoidproduct sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device integrates both junction box mounting and free hole opening mounting capabilities into a single product design. The bracket includes a junction box connection hole for junction box mode, while also incorporating sliding connecting assemblies with connecting rods for free hole opening mode, enabling one product to serve both mounting purposes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting device is divided into detachable components: the main body bracket and separate connecting assemblies. The connecting assemblies can be detached when junction box mounting is needed, and attached when free hole opening mounting is required, allowing flexible configuration based on mounting mode

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If ceiling lamps support dual-purpose mounting mode, then product versatility is improved, but the mounting process becomes cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedual-purpose mounting capabilityVSAvoidmounting process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting assemblies are designed to be slidable along the bracket in the length direction, allowing dynamic adjustment of their positions. This sliding mechanism simplifies the mounting process by enabling easy repositioning without complex assembly steps, while maintaining dual-purpose mounting capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If hole opening is restricted to specific sizes, then manufacturing precision is improved, but assembly flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehole opening size controlVSAvoidassembly flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting assemblies can slide to different positions along the bracket, allowing adjustment to accommodate various hole opening sizes within a certain range. This dynamic positioning capability maintains manufacturing precision for standard hole sizes while providing assembly flexibility for different installation scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
