Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional lamp holders are installed on wires with separate electrical connections, then reliable electrical connection is achieved, but the connection structure becomes cumbersome and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the electrical connection function and mechanical support function into a single integrated lamp holder structure. The wire is directly inserted through the lamp holder body, which simultaneously provides structural support and electrical connectivity, eliminating the need for separate connection components and reducing assembly steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp holder is designed as a multi-functional component that performs multiple roles: mechanical support for the bulb, structural mounting on the wire, and electrical connection conduit. This universal design reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies the overall connection structure.
2Productivity
If lamp holders are fixed on wires with separate electrical connections, then reliable electrical connection is achieved, but the wiring process becomes tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp holder is pre-designed with an integrated wire insertion structure and electrical connection pathway. The wire routing channels and connection terminals are prepared in advance during lamp holder manufacturing, so that during assembly, workers only need to insert the wire and bulb without performing separate electrical connection operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp holder is segmented into functional zones: a wire insertion section with routing channels, a bulb mounting section, and an electrical connection section with integrated terminals. This segmentation allows each zone to be optimized for its specific function while working together as a unified assembly that simplifies the overall wiring process.
