Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional plug-wire type lampholders are cumbersome and unsafe for connecting lamps into a lamp string, as the process is complicated and lacks stability in electrical connections.
Innovation Solution
A plug-wire type lampholder design featuring slots with movable wire clamping plates that form a concave V-shaped hook, allowing for quick and secure connection of electric wires by plugging, enabling multiple lampholders to be connected in series with improved stability and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screw-type connection is used to connect wire clamping plate to electric wire, then the connection can be established, but the connection process is troublesome and stability is relatively lower
Solution Approach 1:
The wire clamping plate incorporates a movable plate that can dynamically change position between a first position (for wire insertion) and a second position (for wire clamping). This dynamic mechanism transforms the static screw connection into a dynamic plugging connection, improving both ease of operation and connection stability simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable plate automatically performs the clamping action when the wire is plugged in. The wire itself triggers the movable plate to move from the first position to the second position, creating the clamping force without requiring external tools or manual intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates the troublesome screwing process while ensuring stable connection.
2Ease of operation
If conventional plug-wire type lampholder is used, then plugging connection is achieved, but the process is too complicated and safety is relatively lower for connecting lamps into lamp string
Solution Approach 1:
The wire clamping plate is segmented into a fixed plate and a movable plate that can independently move between positions. This segmentation allows the device to provide both easy plugging operation and secure connection, resolving the contradiction between operational convenience and connection safety for lamp string assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic movement of the movable plate between first and second positions enables the system to transition from a simple plugging interface to a secure clamped connection. This dynamic feature ensures that lamp string assembly is both convenient and safe, overcoming the limitations of conventional static plug-wire lampholders.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and convenient connection of multiple plug-wire type lampholders into a lamp string, enhancing stability and safety by using elastic restoring forces to securely clamp wires, facilitating serial connections of different electric wires to a power supply.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic restoring force of the movable plate pops the movable plate up slightly in an opposite direction to hook the bare end of the electric wire

AI summary
A plug-wire type lampholder comprises an acting body having a set of slots formed in the acting body and provided for installing a wire clamping plate separately, and the wire clamping plate has at least one end bent to form two into movable plates, and each slot has two notches and different notches are separated with an interval apart, so that when the wire clamping plate is installed into the slot, the movable plates remain in different corresponding notches respectively, and in different notches the same slot are provided for plugging bare ends of different electric wires respectively to achieve an electric conduction, so as to facilitate connecting lamps of different plug-wire type lampholders into a lamp string quickly.
