Waterproof Lamp Cover Structure for Easy Outdoor Disassembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional table lamps designed for indoor use have exposed bulb components that are prone to getting wet in rainy weather, leading to short circuits or burnouts, and their covers are difficult to disassemble for different usage scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A waterproof lamp design featuring a protective cover mounted outside the bulb, secured by a clamping mechanism with spiral rotation and threaded connections, preventing water ingress and facilitating easy assembly/disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional table lamps are used outdoors without protective cover, then the lamp structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the bulb is prone to get wet leading to short circuits or burnouts
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is divided into separate components: the bulb assembly and the protective cover, which can be independently manufactured and assembled. The protective cover is further segmented with a clamping member that can be engaged or disengaged from the lamp holder, allowing modular assembly and disassembly while maintaining protection when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective cover acts as an intermediary element between the bulb and the outdoor environment. It provides a protective barrier that prevents direct contact between water/debris and the bulb, while the clamping member serves as an intermediary mechanism to securely attach the cover to the lamp holder.
2Ease of operation
If the lamp cover is mounted through screw fixing, then the fixation is secure, but it is difficult to disassemble the lamp cover conveniently
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping member is designed to be movable between two states: engaged with the lamp holder for secure fixation, and disengaged for easy removal. The clamping member can be elastically deformed or rotated to release from the clamping groove, enabling convenient disassembly while maintaining secure attachment during operation.
3Reliability
If the protective cover is tightly sealed to prevent water ingress, then the bulb is protected from water, but the assembly and disassembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The protective cover provides comprehensive protection around the bulb area, but the clamping member creates a localized access point for assembly and disassembly. The clamping groove is positioned at a specific location on the lamp holder, allowing the clamping member to be engaged or disengaged at this particular spot without compromising the overall waterproof seal when assembled.

AI summary
A waterproof lamp includes a lamp holder on which a bulb and a protective cover are mounted, and the protective cover is located outside the bulb. A mounting seat is arranged at the top of the lamp holder, and the bulb is mounted at the top of the mounting seat. A mounting disc is arranged on the lamp holder, the mounting seat extends through the mounting disc, and a bottom end of the protective cover is mounted in the mounting disc. A top end of the protective cover is hemispherical. An outer edge of the mounting disc extends upward to form a circular ring, and an inner side of the circular ring is mounted and connected with the bottom end of the protective cover.
