Ceiling-Pendant Fan Light Suspension Structure for Mode Conversion

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fan lights are limited to a single suspension mode, increasing production and assembly costs due to separate molding, and fail to meet user demands for mode changes.

Innovation Solution

A ceiling-pendant type dual-purpose suspension structure with a detachable pendant rod mounting portion and ceiling mounting portion, allowing conversion between ceiling and pendant suspensions without separate molding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fan lights are designed for different suspension modes (ceiling and pendant), then each mode requires separate molding with different base specifications, but this increases production cost and assembly cost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesuspension mode adaptabilityVSAvoidproduction cost

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The base is designed with universal functionality to support both ceiling suspension and pendant suspension modes through detachable mounting portions. The ceiling mounting portion and pendant rod mounting portion can be interchangeably assembled on the same base, allowing one base design to serve multiple suspension modes without requiring separate molding for each mode.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is segmented into separate detachable portions: a ceiling mounting portion and a pendant rod mounting portion. These segments can be independently assembled or disassembled from the base, allowing flexible configuration for different suspension modes while maintaining a unified base design.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If fan lights are designed for different suspension modes, then each mode requires separate molding with different base specifications, but this increases assembly cost

Engineering Contradiction:

The ceiling mounting portion and pendant rod mounting portion can be interchangeably assembled on the same base, allowing one base design to serve multiple suspension modes without requiring separate molding for each mode.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting configuration is made dynamic and changeable through detachable connections. The ceiling mounting portion can be disassembled and replaced with a pendant rod mounting portion, allowing the fan light to transition between suspension modes during installation or reconfiguration, reducing assembly complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing fan lights are connected to ceiling in a single suspension mode, then the structure is simple, but it cannot meet user requirements for changing suspension modes

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesuspension mode changeabilityVSAvoidsuspension structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

AI summary

Provided are a ceiling-pendant type dual-purpose suspension structure and a fan light. The ceiling-pendant type dual-purpose suspension structure includes a base and a driver arranged on the base. A pendant rod mounting portion is arranged at an upper end of the base. A pendant rod for pendant mounting is assembled on the pendant rod mounting portion detachably. After the pendant rod is detached from the pendant rod mounting portion, a ceiling mounting portion for ceiling mounting is assembled on an upper surface of the base detachably. The ceiling-pendant type dual-purpose suspension structure has the advantages of being easy to operate, low in improvement cost, and convenient to promote and implement.
