Solution Overview

Problem

Mounting lamps onto fixtures is difficult and time-consuming due to their large volume and weight, requiring complex wire connections and mounting processes.

Innovation Solution

The lamp design includes a mounting part with a fixing portion, connecting portions, locking portions, and suspension parts that facilitate easy wire connections and mounting, allowing the lamp to be suspended and locked onto the fixture with a flexible plate mechanism for secure attachment and detachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional mounting methods are used for large and heavy lamps, then secure attachment is achieved, but the mounting process becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting easeVSAvoidmounting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp system is divided into separate components: a mounting part with fixing portion and connecting portions, a lamp part, and a suspension part. This segmentation allows the heavy lamp to be suspended rather than directly mounted, simplifying the mounting process while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A suspension part acts as an intermediary between the mounting part and the lamp part. This intermediary component facilitates easy wire connections and mounting by providing a flexible plate mechanism that enables secure attachment and detachment without direct connection between the fixture and lamp.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional wire connection methods are used, then electrical connection is achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and requires multiple people

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting speedVSAvoidwire connection time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting part includes pre-configured connecting portions and a fixing portion with mounting holes that are prepared in advance. The suspension part is pre-attached to the lamp part, so when installation occurs, wire connections and mounting can be completed quickly in a single operation by one person.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of repair

If the lamp is designed as a single integrated unit, then structural integrity is maintained, but mounting and maintenance become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance accessibilityVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp system is segmented into a mounting part, lamp part, and suspension part. This allows the lamp part to be easily detached from the mounting part for maintenance while the mounting part remains securely attached to the fixture, maintaining both structural integrity and ease of repair.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A lamp includes a mounting part configured to be capable of being mounted on a fixture, a lamp part, and two locking parts arranged on the lamp part. The mounting part includes two locking portions and each of the two locking portions have two first fastening elements arranged on two opposite ends thereof. Each of the locking part defines two slot assemblies corresponding to the first fastening elements. Each of the slot assemblies comprises a first slot, a second slot communicates with the first slot, and a third slot adjacent to the second slot. The lamp part is configured to be capable of moving between a first position where the first fastening elements are received in the first slots and a second position where the first fastening elements are received in the second slots while the ends of the first fastening elements enters the third slots.
