Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional lamp holders with protruding rotary knobs face operational inconvenience and aesthetic issues when installed on decorative shelters, as the knob's location affects both the smooth operation and the decorative effect.

Innovation Solution

A lamp holder design featuring a rotary handle with an anti-slip surface, a transverse groove, and a mounting bracket that allows for unrestricted rotation, enabling installation on any decorative shelter without obstructing the aesthetic or operational aspects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the rotary knob is installed transversally on the lateral side of the lamp holder, then the switch operation is convenient, but the decorative shelter cannot be smoothly installed and the aesthetic look is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveswitch operation convenienceVSAvoiddecorative shelter installation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The rotary handle is repositioned from a lateral/transverse arrangement to an axial arrangement at the end of the lamp holder body. This dimensional change allows the handle to protrude from the axial end rather than the lateral side, eliminating interference with decorative shelter installation while maintaining operational accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the rotary knob is installed at the rear of the shelter, then the aesthetic look is improved, but the operation of turning the knob becomes very inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic lookVSAvoidknob turning operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of positioning the handle at the rear (lateral position), the handle is positioned at the axial end of the lamp holder body, protruding forward. This spatial reconfiguration allows the handle to be accessible for operation while not being attached to the shelter, thus maintaining both aesthetic appearance and operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If the rotary knob is installed at the front of the shelter, then the operational accessibility is improved, but the aesthetic look is adversely affected and operation remains inconvenient due to shelter attachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknob accessibilityVSAvoidaesthetic look
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The rotary handle is extracted from the shelter structure and repositioned to protrude from the axial end of the lamp holder body itself. This separation eliminates the need to attach the handle to the shelter, thereby preserving the shelter's aesthetic appearance while maintaining handle accessibility for operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A lamp holder includes a main body, a switch device and a mounting bracket. The main body has an axial end for connecting a light emitting element and another axial end having an electrically conductive module, and the switch device is installed in the main body, and the switch device and the electrically conductive module jointly control the light emitting element to be turned on or off. The rotary handle of the switch device is installed at an axial end of the main body and protruded out from the main body, and the mounting bracket encloses the rotary handle and locks with the main body. Therefore, the lamp holder can be installed onto a decorative shelter conveniently, and the rotary handle can be turned without limitation, and the lamp holder has a good appearance.
