LED Lamp Holder Segmentation for Cost Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing E26 lamp bulbs face high production costs and structural strength issues due to the need for large raw materials and thickness imbalances in their manufacturing, which complicates the connection between the bulb shell and the lamp holder.
Innovation Solution
An LED lamp with an improved lamp holder structure featuring a small lamp holder connected to a large bulb shell via a rubber base and ring-shaped connecting parts, along with a stem assembly and sealing rubber base for efficient assembly and reduced material usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If a large lamp holder with E26 specification is used to match large power cables, then the lamp can provide sufficient illumination power, but production cost increases due to more raw materials required
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp structure is divided into separate components: a small lamp holder (E12 specification) is separated from the large bulb shell (E26 specification). The lamp holder is connected to the bulb shell through a transition adapter, allowing the use of a smaller, less expensive lamp holder while maintaining compatibility with standard E26 bulb sockets. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling cost reduction without sacrificing power delivery capability.
2Ease of manufacture
If the lamp holder is reduced to save raw materials, then production cost decreases, but the mouth part of the large bulb shell cannot be mounted on the small lamp holder
Solution Approach 1:
A transition adapter serves as an intermediary component between the small E12 lamp holder and the large E26 bulb shell. This adapter has an E12 socket on one end and an E26 socket on the other end, enabling the small lamp holder to accommodate standard E26 bulb shells. The intermediary resolves the incompatibility issue while maintaining cost savings from using the smaller lamp holder.
3Loss of substance
If the bulb shell is barely molded to reduce material usage, then raw material consumption decreases, but severe thickness imbalance occurs affecting structural strength and light transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The bulb structure is segmented into an inner bulb shell and an outer bulb shell. This segmentation allows each shell to be optimized independently: the inner shell can be thinner since it provides structural support, while the outer shell can be designed for optimal light transmission and aesthetic appearance. The segmented structure resolves the contradiction by maintaining sufficient thickness for strength and light transmission while reducing overall material consumption.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the field of lamp technologies, and in particular to an LED lamp with improved lamp holder structure. The LED lamp includes an LED lamp holder, a stem assembly connected to the LED lamp holder and an outer bulb shell. The LED lamp holder is connected to a rubber base. A ring-shaped connecting part A is set on the rubber base. A ring-shaped connecting part B is set on the outer bulb shell. The ring-shaped connecting part A is fixedly connected to the ring-shaped connecting part B. The LED lamp features the following advantages: 1, an improved lamp holder structure adopts a small lamp holder to connect a large bulb shell, so that manufacturing cost of products is effectively reduced; 2, the rubber base is set on the lamp holder and can be directly connected to the outer bulb shell, so that production efficiency is improved.
