Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lamp designs require replacing the entire lamp body to change the decorative cover, which is inconvenient, costly, and results in an unstable connection.

Innovation Solution

A lamp with a replaceable decorative cover using a cap-shaped radiator equipped with elastic sheets and slots, allowing the decorative cover to be clamped and fixed detachably, ensuring a stable and simple assembly and disassembly process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the decorative cover is fixed to the lamp body using magnet fixing, then the connection is achieved, but the cost is high and the connection stability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection methodVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the magnetic fixing system with an elastic sheet-based mechanical clamping system. The elastic sheets are inserted into slots on the radiator and clamp the decorative cover in place through elastic deformation, eliminating the need for magnets while achieving stable connection.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses elastic sheets (flexible thin elements) that are inserted into slots and deformed to clamp the decorative cover. These flexible sheets provide both the connection function and the stability required, while allowing easy assembly and disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Adaptability or versatility

If the whole lamp body is replaced to change the decorative cover, then the decoration can be changed, but it is inconvenient and not cost-effective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecorative cover replacementVSAvoidreplacement convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the lamp into separable components: the lamp body (radiator with LED source) and the decorative cover. The elastic sheet mechanism enables the decorative cover to be independently replaced without affecting the lamp body, allowing users to change decorations conveniently and cost-effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp body with the elastic sheet mechanism serves as a universal base that can accommodate multiple different decorative covers. This multi-functional design allows the same lamp body to support various decorative styles by simply changing the cover.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of manufacture

If the decorative cover is fixed using magnet fixing, then the assembly is achieved, but the assembly and disassembly process is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly methodVSAvoidassembly and disassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the magnetic fixing system with an elastic sheet-based mechanical clamping system. The elastic sheets are inserted into slots on the radiator and clamp the decorative cover in place through elastic deformation, eliminating the need for magnets while achieving stable connection.

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