Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fan light with a light head for lifting connection is used, then installation and disassembly convenience is improved, but the fan cannot achieve forward and reverse functions and the light head may loosen causing safety risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation and disassembly convenienceVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure is divided into separate functional components: a suspension bracket seat with threaded groove for electrical connection, and a fan light body with conductive connection structure. The fix member provides mechanical fixation while the threaded groove provides electrical connection, allowing independent optimization of each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fix member serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical fixation to prevent loosening, and the threaded groove provides electrical connection for power transmission. This merging of functions resolves the contradiction between connection stability and operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If wires are used to directly connect a plug, then electrical connection is achieved, but installation and disassembly becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection stabilityVSAvoidinstallation and disassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional wire-based mechanical electrical connection with a conductive connection structure that integrates electrical conductivity with mechanical fixation. The conductive body with threaded groove combines electrical connection and mechanical fastening functions, eliminating the need for separate wire connections that are difficult to install and disassemble.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
