Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current ceiling lamps are too thick, compromising their aesthetic appeal and failing to meet the market's demands for ultrathin and ultralight designs, which affects their decorative effect.
Innovation Solution
An ultrathin lamp design featuring a mounting base with a recessed light source plate, lens, and diffusion cover, supported by a thin support table with a specific width-to-thickness ratio, allowing for a slim profile while maintaining structural integrity and decorative appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the lamp structure is made thicker to ensure structural integrity and support the lighting components, then the structural strength is improved, but the aesthetic appearance and decorative effect deteriorate due to the excessive thickness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional thick planar lamp structures to a three-dimensional hollow spherical design. By utilizing the spherical geometry and hollow interior space, the lamp achieves structural integrity through the spherical shape itself rather than relying on increased thickness, thereby maintaining aesthetic appearance while ensuring structural strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite material construction combining transparent or translucent materials with internal support structures. The hollow spherical body uses materials that provide both structural strength and optical properties, while internal components like light sources and diffusion layers are integrated to maintain both aesthetics and structural integrity without requiring excessive thickness.
2Reliability
If traditional lamp structures are used with sufficient thickness to support components, then component support is ensured, but the lamp fails to meet the ultrathin market requirements and decorative expectations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adopts a spherical three-dimensional structure where component support is achieved through the spatial arrangement and geometric integrity of the sphere rather than through increased thickness in any single dimension. The hollow interior provides structural framework that supports components while maintaining ultrathin profile from any external viewing angle.
Solution Approach 2:
The spherical shape inherently distributes mechanical loads and stresses uniformly across its surface, providing reliable component support without requiring excessive thickness. The curved geometry of the sphere creates structural efficiency that flat or linear designs cannot achieve, allowing thin-walled construction while maintaining reliability.

AI summary
The present application is applied to lamp field, and a ultrathin lamp is provided, which is configured such that a support table is provided on a mounting base and ratio of the width of the support table to the thickness of the thickest portion of the support table is set to 5.5 to 10, such that under the conditions of satisfying technological feasibility of the support base, the whole thickness of the support table and the lamp can be relatively thin, so that the overall appearance is more decorative and thus satisfying the ultrathin requirements on the market.
