Decorative Lamp Power Base With Concealed Plug Wiring

Solution Overview

Problem

Decorative lamps with numerous exposed wires pose both aesthetic and safety hazards due to wire damage and disorganization during layout.

Innovation Solution

A power supply base for decorative lamps featuring a base with a cavity and mounting groove, a female plug connected to the power supply, and a male plug that hides wires within the base, allowing for secure and waterproof electrical connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If decorative lamps use exposed wires for power supply connection, then electrical connection is achieved, but the ornamental effect is degraded and safety hazards increase due to wire damage

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesafetyVSAvoidwire management

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies nesting by placing the male plug inside the base structure and routing wires through the hollow connecting sleeve, effectively hiding wires within the device itself. The male plug is nested within the base cavity, and wires pass through the hollow connecting sleeve to connect to the female plug terminal, concealing all wiring within the base housing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a female plug as an intermediary component mounted in the base. The female plug receives the male plug connection and provides a terminal for power supply wire connection inside the base cavity. This intermediary structure enables safe wire management by providing an enclosed connection point within the base rather than exposing wires externally.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Shape

If decorative lamps use traditional power supply connection, then electrical connection is achieved, but aesthetic appeal is reduced due to disorganized exposed wires

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaesthetic appealVSAvoidwire connection

Core Design Contradiction:

ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies nesting by placing the male plug inside the base structure and routing wires through the hollow connecting sleeve, effectively hiding wires within the device itself. The male plug is nested within the base cavity, and wires pass through the hollow connecting sleeve to connect to the female plug terminal, concealing all wiring within the base housing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If decorative lamps use exposed wires, then power supply connection is achieved, but safety hazards increase due to prone wire damage

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesafetyVSAvoidwire damage risk

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies nesting by placing the male plug inside the base structure and routing wires through the hollow connecting sleeve, effectively hiding wires within the device itself. The male plug is nested within the base cavity, and wires pass through the hollow connecting sleeve to connect to the female plug terminal, concealing all wiring within the base housing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the hollow connecting sleeve as a protective shell through which wires are routed. This sleeve acts as a flexible conduit that protects the wires from external damage while allowing them to pass through the base structure. The hollow sleeve provides mechanical protection and routing guidance for the power supply wires.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

AI summary

Disclosed is a power supply base for a decorative lamp. A female plug is mounted, in a mounting chamber of a base, a terminal of the female plug is located in a cavity of the base and is connected to a power supply in the cavity, and exposed wires are all hidden in the cavity of the base, so that current is introduced to the decorative lamp mounted above the power supply base, thereby achieving, the free plugging and unplugging of the decorative lamp and the power supply base. The present invention has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design, convenient use and the like, thereby improving the safety.
