Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional ceiling lamps are inconvenient and time-consuming to mount due to the need for manual lifting and complex wiring, and are prone to damage during installation by non-professional personnel.

Innovation Solution

A fast-mounted ceiling lamp design featuring a mounting frame with a hook for easy wire connection, a base with clamping rings, and elastic clamping sheets that allow the lampshade to be securely attached and detached without manual lifting, enabling efficient and stable mounting and dismounting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional ceiling lamp mounting method is used (manual lifting with one hand and wire connection with the other hand), then the lamp can be mounted, but the operation is inconvenient and mounting efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting efficiencyVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting process is divided into distinct functional components: the mounting frame with hook for suspension, the base with clamping rings for secure attachment, and the lampshade with elastic clamping sheets for easy connection. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, improving both efficiency and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hook on the mounting frame acts as an intermediary element that enables the base to be suspended without manual lifting. The elastic clamping sheets serve as intermediaries between the lampshade and base, facilitating wire connection and secure attachment simultaneously, thereby improving mounting efficiency and operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional ceiling lamp mounting method is used (dismantling lampshade or light source, fixedly mounting bottom housing, then mounting lampshade through elastic clamping sheets), then the lamp can be assembled, but it is time-consuming, labor-consuming and likely to be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedamage risk during installationVSAvoidmounting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting frame with hook and base with clamping rings are pre-configured to enable direct suspension and attachment. The elastic clamping sheets are pre-installed on the lampshade, allowing for direct connection to the base without needing to dismantle components first. This preliminary preparation eliminates time-consuming steps and reduces damage risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of dismantling the lampshade or light source to mount the base, the invention inverts the process: the base is independently mounted on the ceiling using the hook and clamping rings, and then the lampshade is attached to the mounted base. This reversal eliminates the need to disassemble components and reduces mounting time and damage risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Ease of operation

If wire connection is performed while holding the ceiling lamp, then wiring can be completed, but it brings inconvenience in operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring convenienceVSAvoidmounting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The hook on the mounting frame serves as an intermediary that suspends the base, freeing both hands for wire connection. The elastic clamping sheets act as intermediaries that secure the wire connection point, allowing convenient wiring operation without compromising mounting efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
