Foldable Lamp Frame Fan Light for Compact Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fan lights have large packaging volumes, high transportation costs, and single styles, with integrated protective housings that are prone to damage during transportation and require user assembly, leading to poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A detachable fan blade assembly connected to a central assembly, and a rotatable lamp frame assembly that can switch between unfolded and folded states, allowing for convenient use and storage, reducing packaging volume and transportation damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If integrated protective housings are used, then protection function and appearance are improved, but packaging volume increases and transportation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The protective housing is divided into multiple detachable components: a fixed housing and a movable protective cover. The protective cover can be separated from the housing during packaging, allowing the fan light to be disassembled into compact parts for reduced packaging volume, while the complete integrated structure provides protection during use.
2Reliability
If integrated protective housings are used, then protection function is improved, but transportation damage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the protective housing into detachable components, the fan light can be disassembled during transportation to reduce stress on individual parts and minimize damage risk. The protective cover can be removed or repositioned to prevent impact damage during shipping.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective cover is designed with movable connections that allow it to adapt its position during transportation. It can be adjusted to provide optimal protection during use while being reconfigurable for safe packaging and transportation, reducing damage risk through dynamic adaptation.
3Volume of stationary object
If fan light is disassembled into loose parts, then packaging volume is reduced, but user assembly difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fan light is segmented into modular components with standardized connection interfaces. The protective cover, housing, and fan assembly have pre-defined mounting positions and simple connection mechanisms that guide users through straightforward assembly without requiring complex tools or technical knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The design incorporates self-aligning features and intuitive connection mechanisms that enable users to assemble the fan light themselves without professional assistance. The detachable protective cover and modular components are designed to be easily connected and disconnected by end users.
4Shape
If integrated protective housings are used, then appearance is improved, but product style variety decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective housing is segmented into modular components that can be independently designed and configured. Different protective covers, housing styles, and fan blade assemblies can be combined to create multiple product variants, enabling style variety while maintaining the benefits of integrated protection when needed.

AI summary
A fan light is provided, including: a central assembly, which includes a housing and a control mechanism mounted inside the housing, where the housing can be connected to an external mounting structure; a fan blade assembly, which is detachably in pivotal connection to the control mechanism; and a lamp frame assembly, which includes a connector connected to the housing, and a first lamp frame and a second lamp frame that are connected to the connector. The first lamp frame and the second lamp frame are configured to have a first state of being rotatably unfolded relative to the connector and surrounding the fan blade assembly, and a second state of being rotatably folded relative to the connector. The fan light can conveniently switch states and is convenient for storage and transportation, and damage is avoided. Meanwhile, difficulty of operations cannot be increased.
