Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large-caliber light bulbs face issues of large overall size, high manufacturing costs, and poor applicability due to the need for large-size lamp caps and mounting bases, which are complex and costly to produce, and have safety concerns with metal conductors.
Innovation Solution
A lamp wick structure comprising a lamp housing, a lamp cap, and a conversion connector with a first and second connecting piece, where the lamp housing is clamped into a clamping slot and the lamp cap is sleeved over a groove, allowing for separate installation of the lamp cap and housing with different sizes, reducing complexity and cost while enhancing safety and environmental friendliness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If large-size lamp cap and mounting base are used for large-caliber bulbs, then the bulb can accommodate large-caliber light sources, but the manufacturing cost increases and the overall size becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp cap is divided into two separate components: a lamp cap body and a lamp cap mounting base. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently with optimized processes, reducing overall complexity while maintaining the ability to accommodate large-caliber light sources. The lamp cap body can be produced using simpler methods while the mounting base provides the necessary structural support.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from an integrated lamp cap design to a separated design where the lamp cap body and mounting base are distinct components arranged in a specific spatial relationship. This dimensional reorganization allows for reduced manufacturing complexity while preserving the functional capability to support large-caliber bulbs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If large-size lamp cap and mounting base are used for large-caliber bulbs, then the bulb can accommodate large-caliber light sources, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the lamp cap into a body and mounting base, each component can be manufactured using more cost-effective processes. The lamp cap body can be produced through simpler molding or fabrication methods, while the mounting base is separately manufactured, allowing for optimized production processes that reduce overall manufacturing cost while maintaining adaptability to large-caliber light sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The separated design allows the lamp cap body to be considered a more disposable, cost-effective component that can be manufactured at lower cost, while the mounting base serves as a more permanent structural element. This approach reduces the overall manufacturing cost by allowing the more expensive component to be minimized or optimized separately.
3Volume of moving object
If an integrated lamp cap is extended on the opening based on the original lamp cap, then the size of the lamp cap is reduced, but the manufacturing process becomes complex and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of extending the lamp cap as an integrated piece, the invention segments the structure into a lamp cap body and a separate mounting base. This segmentation simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing each component to be produced independently using standard processes, avoiding the complexity of creating an extended integrated structure while maintaining reduced size.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting base is extracted from the lamp cap structure, allowing the lamp cap body to be manufactured as a separate, simpler component. This extraction eliminates the need for complex extended integrated designs, reducing manufacturing complexity while achieving the desired size reduction.
4Volume of moving object
If an integrated lamp cap with metal conductor is used, then the lamp cap size is reduced, but the use safety becomes poor
Solution Approach 1:
The metal conductor is extracted from the lamp cap structure and replaced with an insulating material for the lamp cap body. This extraction of the conductive element from the lamp cap body eliminates the safety hazards associated with exposed metal conductors while maintaining the reduced size advantage. The mounting base can incorporate electrical connections separately, isolating the conductive elements from the user-contact areas.
Solution Approach 2:
An insulating material is introduced as an intermediary between the electrical components and the lamp cap body. This intermediary layer provides electrical insulation, ensuring use safety while allowing the lamp cap to maintain its reduced size. The insulating material acts as a barrier that prevents direct contact between users and conductive elements.
