Connector structure for an inner-tube decorative lamp of a christmas tree
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Christmas tree lamp plugs are prone to poor contact due to the tree's height, causing unstable power connections, and lack spare plug holes, making maintenance inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A connector structure for an inner-tube decorative lamp featuring a male and female connector with plastic portions and a rubber sleeve to stabilize the connection, and bolt fixation to secure the plastic parts within the tree's inner tube, ensuring stable power conduction and easy maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the Christmas tree is made tall to achieve better decorative effect, then the illumination effect is improved, but the cable interface becomes unstable and power is easily cut off due to tree shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The male connector is nested inside the female connector, with the male connector fixing plastic portion inserted into the female connector fixing plastic portion. This nested structure provides stable mechanical support and electrical connection, preventing poor contact caused by tree shaking while maintaining the tall tree structure for better illumination display.
2Device complexity
If the female connector has only one set of plug holes to simplify structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but maintenance becomes inconvenient due to lack of spare plug holes
Solution Approach 1:
The female connector is designed with multiple plug holes, allowing it to accommodate multiple male connectors simultaneously. This multi-functional design enables the single female connector to serve multiple lighting zones or lamp strings, providing spare connection points for maintenance and replacement without requiring additional connector units.

AI summary
A connector structure for an inner-tube decorative lamp of a Christmas tree is disclosed. The connector structure includes a male connector and a female connector. A first and a second male connector fixing plastic portion are respectively disposed on both sides of the male connector, and a male connector insertion groove and a rubber sleeve groove are defined in each of the first and second male connector fixing plastic portions. A first bolt mounting hole is defined in each of the first and second male connector fixing plastic portions. A first fixing bolt is disposed to pass through the inside of the first bolt mounting hole. A rubber sleeve is sleeved on one end of the male connector, and a first wire is connected to one end of the male connector.
