Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED lamp strings suffer from messy lamp lines that can easily get caught or dragged, affecting mounting stability and user experience, and are inconvenient to organize and store.

Innovation Solution

A string lamp body design featuring a lamp holder with inclined plates that elastically clamp a tube body, allowing the lamp bead to be mounted stably and the lamp line to be accommodated conveniently, with a protrusion and groove mechanism for secure attachment to a lamp housing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp line is flexible and soft to allow bending at will, then the adaptability and ease of mounting are improved, but the lamp line becomes messy and easily caught or dragged, affecting mounting stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of lamp lineVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp holder is divided into multiple inclined plates that independently clamp the tube body at different positions, segmenting the clamping function to enhance overall holding stability while maintaining the flexibility of the lamp line

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The tube body acts as an intermediary component between the flexible lamp line and the lamp holder, providing a structured interface that allows the flexible lamp line to be mounted stably without direct exposure to external forces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the inclined plates are elastically deformed to clamp the tube body tightly, then the mounting stability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the elastic deformation mechanism

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The inclined plates utilize elastic deformation to change their shape parameter dynamically, allowing them to clamp the tube body tightly without requiring complex locking mechanisms or additional fastening components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic inclined plates automatically adjust and clamp the tube body through their own elastic deformation properties, eliminating the need for external fastening mechanisms and reducing overall device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of manufacture

If the lamp holder structure is simplified for easy manufacture, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the ability to securely clamp the tube body and accommodate lamp lines deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidclamping capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp holder is segmented into multiple inclined plates that can be independently formed and assembled, allowing each plate to be manufactured simply while collectively providing secure clamping capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The inclined plates serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide structural support, enable elastic clamping of the tube body, and create openings for lamp line accommodation, eliminating the need for separate components

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

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

The design ensures stable mounting and convenient organization of lamp beads, improving user experience and storage convenience by minimizing line tangling and enhancing mounting stability.

Implementation Method 1

the inclined plates are deformed elastically and selectively; and when the tube body is clamped lamp holder by means of the inclined plates, the inclined plates are elastically deformed, and the adjacent inclined plates are close to each other to make the opening smaller

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElastic deformation: Elasticity
