Detachable Fan Light Ring Structure for Compact Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ceiling-mounted fan lights have structural configurations that occupy excessive space and are prone to damage during transport due to integral lamp brackets and light arms, increasing packaging costs and mold manufacturing complexity.
Innovation Solution
A ceiling-mounted fan light design with detachable lamp brackets and light arms, featuring arc-shaped lamp brackets connected by a connecting member to form a ring, allowing for disassembly and reassembly, and a method for assembly that includes snap-fit and threaded connections to facilitate packaging and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If lamp brackets and light arms are configured as an integral unit, then structural stability is improved, but packaging space increases and transport damage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the integral unit of lamp brackets and light arms into separate detachable components. The lamp bracket can be separated from the light arm through a detachable connection structure, allowing each component to be packaged independently in a compact manner, thereby reducing overall packaging space while maintaining structural integrity when assembled
2Stability of the object's composition
If lamp brackets and light arms are configured as an integral unit, then structural stability is improved, but transport damage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the integral unit into detachable components, each part becomes smaller and less prone to damage during transport. The detachable connection structure allows for careful separation and packaging of individual components, reducing the risk of damage compared to transporting a large integral unit
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates a detachable connection structure that allows components to be separated before transport and reassembled after delivery. This preliminary disassembly action protects components from transport damage while ensuring structural stability is restored upon reassembly
3Stability of the object's composition
If lamp brackets are connected to form a ring structure, then aesthetics and structural stability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent connects multiple lamp brackets to form a ring structure, merging individual components into a unified aesthetic form. This ring structure enhances structural stability while the standardized detachable connection structures simplify the assembly process, making the complexity manageable
4Volume of moving object
If detachable connection structures are implemented, then packaging space is reduced, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable connection structure divides the product into separate manufacturable components, allowing each part to be molded independently using standard molds. This segmentation enables the use of simpler, more cost-effective molding processes compared to creating a single complex integral unit

AI summary
The present invention discloses a ceiling-mounted fan light and an assembly method therefor. The ceiling-mounted fan light includes a ceiling-mounted box, a fan installed on the ceiling box, some light arms detachably assembled to the ceiling box, an arc-shaped lamp bracket provided at an extended end of each light arm, and lamp brackets. A connecting member is arranged between the head end of one lamp bracket and the tail end of an adjacent lamp bracket, so that the lamp brackets and light arms can be disassembled and reassembled during packaging and transportation by separating them into individual components to reduce space, while also reducing molding costs. The corresponding lamp groove provided on a lower side and/or an upper side of the lamp bracket is mounted by light-transmitting strip respectively to enable diverse lighting effects.
