Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If an integrated structure is used between the lampshade and the lamp holder, then the structural simplicity is improved, but the adaptability and ease of lampshade change deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidlampshade changeability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the lamp into separable components: the lamp holder and the lampshade are disconnected and connected through a detachable connecting piece. This segmentation allows the lampshade to be easily removed and replaced while maintaining structural simplicity through standardized connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a detachable connecting piece is introduced between the lampshade and the lamp holder, then the adaptability and ease of lampshade change are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelampshade changeabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting piece serves as an intermediary component between the lamp holder and the lampshade. It provides a standardized interface that simplifies the connection and disconnection process, making the system more adaptable without significantly increasing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting piece is designed with universal functionality to accommodate different lampshade types. The elastic deformation capability and clamping mechanism allow a single connecting piece design to work with multiple lampshade configurations, reducing the need for multiple specialized components.

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

3Ease of operation

If the connecting piece uses elastic deformation for clamping, then the ease of operation and assembly are improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidclamping precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting piece utilizes elastic deformation to change its physical parameters dynamically. During assembly, the connecting piece deforms elastically to accommodate the lamp holder, then returns to its original shape to provide secure clamping. This parameter change approach simplifies assembly operations while the elastic properties provide tolerance compensation for manufacturing variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution allows for customizable lampshades according to different holiday scenes, enhancing the lamp string's diversity and universality, while also simplifying transportation and storage by enabling component separation.

Implementation Method 1

a clamping arm with elasticity, one end of the clamping arm being connected with the sleeve ring, the other end being able to get away from or close to the lamp holder to enable the sleeve ring to be elastically deformed to clamp and fix the lamp holder

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElastic deformation: Elasticity
