Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional lampshades have complex connections that are inconvenient for disassembly and installation, and existing solutions using soft tubes require forceful expansion and risk detachment, complicating handling and reducing production efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A new-type lampshade with a flexible, foldable body, a flexible hollow fastener, a detachable support bracket, and a connecting rod assembly that allows for easy assembly and disassembly, using a connection shaping device that supports and shapes the lampshade body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional lampshade connecting structures are used, then connection stability is ensured, but device complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidconnecting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting structure is divided into separate modular components: a support bracket with connecting rods and a fastener attached to the lampshade body. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining connection stability through the coordinated interaction of these modular elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fastener acts as an intermediary element between the lampshade body and the support bracket. It provides a simplified connection interface that eliminates the need for complex traditional connecting structures, achieving both stability and ease of operation through this mediating component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If cavity hose with opening is used for support bracket installation, then assembly is quickened, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to risk of detachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly speedVSAvoidinstallation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The fastener is pre-attached to the lampshade body during manufacturing, creating a ready-to-connect interface. This preliminary action ensures proper positioning and alignment before final assembly, eliminating the need for forceful stretching and reducing the risk of detachment while maintaining quick assembly capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Strength

If rigid lampshade body is used, then structural strength is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates for disassembly and transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelampshade body strengthVSAvoiddisassembly and transportation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lampshade body transitions from a static rigid structure to a dynamic flexible structure that can be collapsed into a compact state for transportation and storage. The flexible material allows the lampshade to be easily folded while maintaining sufficient structural strength during use, enabling convenient disassembly and compact storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a new-type lampshade, comprising a lampshade with a mounting base inside, which is connected to the lampshade through connecting rods. The lampshade consists of a lampshade body and a connection shaping device attached to the lampshade body. The lampshade body is a foldable storage structure made of a flexible material. The connection shaping device comprises a support bracket and a fastener fixed to the lampshade body, where the fastener is a flexible hollow sleeve structure. The support bracket is threaded through the hollow area of the fastener to form a structure that supports and shapes the lampshade body. The connecting rods are uniformly distributed and detachably connected to the support bracket.
