Replaceable Lamp Tube With Detachable Holder For Reduced Waste

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lamp systems require replacement of the entire lamp, including the shade and holder, when the lamp tube fails, leading to waste and environmental damage, especially for decorative and outdoor lighting.

Innovation Solution

A lamp design where only the lamp tube is replaceable, with a detachable connection between the lamp tube and the lamp holder, allowing for easy replacement while reusing the shade and holder, and incorporating features like threaded connections, sealing gaskets, and a protective cover for water resistance and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the entire lamp (lamp shade and lamp holder) is replaced when the lamp tube fails, then the lamp can be restored to normal operation, but material waste increases and environmental damage occurs

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelamp operationVSAvoidmaterial waste

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp system is divided into separable components: the lamp tube is detachably connected to the lamp holder via a conductive socket, allowing the lamp tube to be replaced independently while the lamp holder and lamp shade are reused. This segmentation enables targeted replacement of only the failed component.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design allows the lamp tube to be discarded when failed while recovering and reusing the lamp holder and lamp shade. The detachable connection ensures that functional components are preserved and can be reused multiple times, reducing overall material waste.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #34Discarding and recovering

2Reliability

If the entire lamp is replaced when the lamp tube fails, then the lamp can be restored to normal operation, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelamp operationVSAvoidresource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

3Ease of repair

If the lamp tube is detachably connected to the conductive socket, then the lamp tube can be easily replaced, but the connection structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelamp tube replacementVSAvoidconnection structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive socket serves multiple functions: it provides electrical connection for power transmission and simultaneously acts as a mechanical connection component for detachably mounting the lamp tube. The bottom end of the lamp holder covers the top end of the lamp shade, and the conductive socket is integrated into this structure, reducing the need for separate connection components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
