Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional lamps face difficulties in assembly due to challenging alignment and connection of light-emitting bodies with lampshades, leading to low assembly efficiency.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of light-emitting body connecting structures with protruding power connecting ports that adjust and align within lampshade openings, allowing for threaded or snap/clamping connections to secure the light-emitting bodies within the lampshade, enhancing assembly efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional connection methods are used for assembling light-emitting bodies with lampshades, then the structural strength is maintained, but the assembly efficiency is low due to challenging alignment and connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidalignment difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The power connecting ports are pre-protruding from the terminal body in a fixed position before assembly. This preliminary positioning structure guides the alignment process, allowing the light-emitting body to be connected to the lampshade without requiring complex real-time alignment adjustments during assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The power connecting ports serve as an intermediary structure between the terminal body and the light-emitting body. These protruding ports extend beyond the terminal body to facilitate easier connection with the light-emitting body, acting as a mediating element that simplifies the assembly process while maintaining secure electrical and mechanical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If protruding power connecting ports are used to facilitate alignment, then assembly efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidterminal structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power connecting ports are integrated as part of the terminal body structure rather than being separate components. The ports protrude from the terminal body and combine both electrical connection and mechanical positioning functions into a single integrated structure, reducing the number of separate parts while improving assembly efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The protruding power connecting ports serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide electrical connection pathways, act as alignment guides during assembly, and maintain structural integrity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity despite the assembly efficiency improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
