Split Ceiling Lamp Mounting for Single-Person Wiring and Installation
Solution Overview
Problem
Ceiling lamps with larger size or weight are difficult to install and inconvenient for a single person to handle due to the need for simultaneous wiring and installation, which can lead to instability and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A split-type mounting structure for ceiling lamps, featuring a mounting groove, pivot portion, latching portion, and detachable mounting plate with hook and snap-fit portions, allowing the lamp to be suspended and wired separately before final installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a large mounting structure is used to ensure installation stability for large ceiling lamps, then installation stability is improved, but the complexity of simultaneous wiring and installation increases, making it difficult for a single person to perform
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is divided into two independent parts: a fixed mounting bracket attached to the ceiling and a detachable mounting plate attached to the lamp. This segmentation allows the mounting bracket to be installed and wired first (ensuring stability), while the mounting plate can be separately attached to the lamp without requiring simultaneous handling of both components, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and ease of installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket is pre-installed on the ceiling with wiring completed before the lamp is attached. This preliminary action allows the wiring to be done when only one component (the bracket) needs to be handled, eliminating the difficulty of simultaneous wiring and installation, while still ensuring installation stability through the pre-positioned bracket.
2Loss of time
If a single person performs installation of large ceiling lamps requiring simultaneous wiring and installation, then installation time is reduced, but the risk of instability and potential damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the mounting structure into a fixed bracket and a detachable plate, the installation process can be divided into safe, sequential steps: first install the bracket (providing stable support), then attach the lamp to the pre-installed bracket. This eliminates the safety risk of simultaneous handling while maintaining efficiency through the simple attachment mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket is pre-installed with wiring completed before the lamp attachment. This preliminary preparation ensures that the support structure is stable and ready, allowing the lamp to be safely attached without requiring the installer to simultaneously manage wiring and mounting, thus improving both safety and time efficiency.

AI summary
A split-type mounting structure for a ceiling lamp and a ceiling lamp are provided. The ceiling lamp is fixed onto the mounting surface via the split-type mounting structure. The split-type mounting structure includes a mounting groove disposed on the top of the ceiling lamp; a pivot portion fixed at one end of the mounting groove; a latching portion disposed at the other end of the mounting groove; and a mounting plate detachably connected to the mounting groove. The mounting plate includes a body adapted to a width of the mounting groove; a hook portion disposed at one end of the body, and detachably connected to the pivot portion, and the mounting plate is rotatably hinged to the pivot portion via the hook portion, and a snap-fit portion disposed at the other end of the body, and the snap-fit portion is detachably snap-fitted on the latching portion.
