Solution Overview

Problem

Existing waterproof lamp head structures suffer from poor waterproof performance due to the degradation of sealing rings exposed to sunlight and rain, leading to moisture ingress and potential short circuits.

Innovation Solution

A waterproof lamp head structure featuring a lampshade, lamp cap, and lamp holder with a double-sided extrusion sealing mechanism, where the connecting portion of the lampshade and the groove inside the lamp cap form a tight and waterproof connection, enhanced by a threaded connection and elastic sealing material.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a sealing ring is used between the lamp body and lamp holder, then waterproofing is achieved, but the sealing ring degrades under sunlight and rain exposure, reducing waterproof performance over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaterproof performanceVSAvoidservice life of sealing ring
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the traditional sealing ring component entirely and replaces it with a groove structure integrated into the lamp holder. This extraction eliminates the degradation issue of separate sealing rings while maintaining waterproof functionality through the groove design that allows direct contact and sealing between the lamp body and lamp holder surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the sealing function into the structural design of the lamp holder by creating a groove that directly interfaces with the lamp body. This integration combines the structural support and sealing functions into a single unified design, eliminating the need for separate degradable sealing components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If a complex waterproof structure is implemented, then waterproof performance improves, but the assembly and disassembly become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaterproof performanceVSAvoidassembly and disassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lamp head into modular components (lamp body and lamp holder) that connect through a simple groove interface. This segmentation allows each component to be independently manufactured and easily assembled or disassembled by aligning and inserting the lamp body into the groove, maintaining operational simplicity while achieving waterproof sealing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
