Foldable Lampshade Assembly for Compact Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vertical lamps have large packaging volumes, leading to high transportation costs and inconvenience, as well as difficulties in assembly and potential damage during transport, which do not meet the requirements of modern industrial design.
Innovation Solution
The design features an assembled lampshade with upper and lower supports and a cover body that can be easily disassembled and folded, utilizing semicircular arc rings, hinges, and hooks for secure connection, allowing for compact packaging and easy assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the lampshade is designed as a complete assembled structure, then the assembly convenience is improved, but the packaging volume increases and transportation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lampshade is divided into multiple independent components including upper support, lower support, cover body, and connecting rods. These segmented parts can be packaged separately in compact forms, significantly reducing the overall packaging volume compared to a complete assembled structure, while still maintaining ease of assembly through simple connection mechanisms
2Ease of operation
If the lampshade is designed as a complete assembled structure, then the assembly convenience is improved, but the risk of damage during transportation increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the lampshade into separate components (upper support, lower support, cover body, connecting rods), each part can be individually protected during packaging and transportation. This reduces the risk of damage compared to transporting a complete assembled structure, while the simple connection mechanisms ensure easy reassembly after transport
3Stability of the object's composition
If the lampshade is designed as a complete assembled structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the transportation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lampshade structure is segmented into stable components (upper support with arc rings, lower support, cover body) that can be packaged compactly. The structural stability is maintained through the design of these segments with support rods and connecting mechanisms, while the packaging volume is reduced by transporting them separately rather than as a complete assembled structure
4Ease of operation
If the lampshade uses multiple connection components (hinges, connecting rods, mounting rings), then the ease of assembly is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lampshade is segmented into components connected by simple mechanisms (hinges, connecting rods, mounting rings). While this creates multiple parts, each connection component is designed to be simple and intuitive, making the overall assembly process easier despite the increased number of components
