Solution Overview

Problem

Existing outdoor lamps have limited hanging options, allowing only single-direction positioning and requiring additional support for desired angles, leading to inefficiencies and increased labor costs.

Innovation Solution

A decorative lamp design featuring a wire holder with a hanging hole and an assistance hole parallel to the main power cord, equipped with an anti-skid plug, allowing for multidirectional hanging and improved positioning without additional support.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single hanging hole is formed in the lamp holder, then the structure is simple, but the hanging direction is limited and cannot achieve specific angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging directionVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wire holder is divided into functionally distinct regions: a first hanging hole for primary suspension and a second hanging hole for angular positioning. This segmentation allows each hole to serve a specific purpose, enabling multidirectional hanging without complicating the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wire holder is designed to perform multiple functions: it holds the power cord, provides the first hanging hole for suspension, and provides the second hanging hole for angular adjustment. This multi-functionality allows a single component to achieve both simple structure and versatile hanging capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a hanging wire is temporarily mounted to achieve specific angles, then the hanging angle can be adjusted, but spare labor cost and inconvenience are caused

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging convenienceVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The second hanging hole is pre-formed in the wire holder during manufacturing, allowing users to directly thread the power cord through it without needing to temporarily mount additional hanging wires or supports. This preliminary preparation eliminates installation complexity and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The wire holder itself provides both hanging holes as an integrated feature, enabling the lamp to be self-positioned using its own structure without requiring external support elements. The power cord serves dual purposes: electrical connection and angular positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp can only be positioned in a single direction, then the structure is simple, but the application range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication rangeVSAvoidhanging structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The design transitions from single-direction positioning to multidirectional positioning by adding a second hanging hole at a different spatial orientation. This dimensional addition allows the lamp to be hung at various angles while keeping the wire holder structure simple and integrated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of lamps, in particular to a decorative lamp assisting in hanging and positioning. The decorative lamp assisting in hanging and positioning includes a lamp holder and a lamp bulb electrically connected with the lamp holder, and also includes a wire holder and a main power cord. The main power cord passes through the wire holder from one end of the wire holder to the other end of the wire holder, and the main power cord is electrically connected with the lamp holder. A hanging hole is formed in the top of the wire holder in a first direction, an assistance hole is formed in the top of the wire holder in a second direction, and a central axis of the assistance hole is parallel to the main power cord transversely passing through the lamp holder.
