Changeable Lamp Socket Adapter for Light Tube Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamp devices are limited by predetermined assembled parts, restricting user flexibility in combining light tubes with lamp holders, as they cannot be adapted to accommodate different light tubes.
Innovation Solution
A lamp device with changeable lamp sockets that include adapter covers, allowing users to assemble different adapter structures by using conductive plugs and components that can be inserted into insertion holes and connected electrically, enabling various adapter configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a lamp device uses predetermined assembled parts, then the manufacturing and assembly process is simplified, but the user has fewer options and cannot adapt to different light tubes
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp device is divided into separate functional modules: a base lamp holder and detachable adapter covers. Each adapter cover can be independently designed for different light tube types, allowing users to mix and match adapters with various light tubes without changing the entire lamp device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The base lamp holder is designed with universal compatibility to accommodate multiple types of adapter covers. Each adapter cover serves multiple functions: providing structural support, enabling electrical connection through conductive plugs, and allowing detachment for reconfiguration. This multi-functionality reduces the need for entirely different lamp devices for different light tube types.
2Ease of operation
If a lamp device uses fixed assembled parts, then the device structure is stable and simple, but the user cannot reconfigure or assemble different adapter structures
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter covers are designed with detachable connections that allow dynamic reconfiguration. The first and second covering plates can be separated and reattached in different configurations, enabling users to adapt the lamp device to different needs without permanent modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
Conductive plugs serve as intermediary components that facilitate both electrical connection and mechanical attachment. These plugs enable the adapter cover to connect to the light tube and lamp holder while maintaining electrical continuity, simplifying the user interface for assembly and reconfiguration.

AI summary
A lamp device with changeable lamp socket includes a light tube, a light source plate received in the light tube, and two lamp sockets locked with two ends of the light tube. The lamp socket includes a first tubular body, a first covering plate, and two conductive plugs. The lamp device further includes two adapter covers detachably locked on the lamp sockets. Each adapter cover includes a second tubular body, a second covering plate, and a conductive component. For each of the lamp sockets and the corresponding adapter cover, the conductive plugs are inserted into insertion holes of the second covering plate, and the conductive component is electrically connected to the conductive plugs, passes through an opening of the second covering plate, and exposed from the second covering plate.
