Solution Overview
Problem
The existing string lamp design with an integrated wire and housing structure complicates assembly and maintenance, making it inefficient for installation and replacement of individual components.
Innovation Solution
A simple watertight lamp design featuring a lamp housing with a mounting groove and blocks, watertight covers with wire holes, and a lampshade that can be easily assembled and disassembled to allow independent replacement of components, ensuring watertight sealing and improved installation efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wire and lamp housing form an integrated structure, then watertightness performance is guaranteed, but assembly complexity increases and maintenance efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the integrated wire-lamp structure into separable components: the wire assembly with waterproof collar can be independently installed or removed from the lamp housing. The waterproof collar itself is segmented into a body portion and a sealing portion that wraps around the wire, allowing modular assembly while maintaining watertightness.
2Reliability
If wire and lamp housing form an integrated structure, then watertightness performance is guaranteed, but maintenance efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The wire assembly with waterproof collar is designed as a separable module that can be independently removed from the lamp housing without damaging other components. This allows faulty wires or collars to be replaced individually, significantly improving maintenance efficiency while the waterproof collar continues to provide reliable sealing.
3Productivity
If watertight cover and mounting block are dismounted and connected, then installation efficiency improves, but sealing difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing function is extracted as a separate component - the waterproof collar with its sealing portion - from the mounting block structure. This allows the mounting block to focus on mechanical attachment while the dedicated sealing portion handles the sealing task, simplifying both assembly and the sealing mechanism itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The waterproof collar acts as an intermediary component between the wire assembly and the mounting block. It provides the sealing interface while allowing the two main components to be easily assembled and disassembled, thus improving installation efficiency without compromising sealing performance.
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 enhances the installation and maintenance efficiency of string lamps by allowing independent replacement of components, improving sealing and durability, and enabling use in severe environments.
Implementation Method 1
there is elastic compression between the airtight rubber strip and the mounting groove
Implementation Method 2
there is elastic compression between the watertight cover and several protruding sealing rubber strips, enabling that several protruding sealing rubber strips press the sealed casing ring to make the wire be sealed in the sealed casing ring

AI summary
A simple watertight lamp and string lamp, including: lamp housing set with a mounting groove and two mounting blocks, containing a mounting hole connecting the mounting groove which is used for mounting the luminous module; hanger loop which is back on one side of the mounting groove together with the lamp housing and connects with the lamp housing to form a hanger loop mouth; two watertight covers set with a wire hole and can be dismounted and connected with mounting block, enabling that the watertight cover and the mounting block fit each other to seal the wire which goes through the wire hole; and lampshade which is mounted to the lamp housing in the sealed mounting groove. This realizes relatively independent wires and lamp by virtue of two watertight covers and the lamp housing of a removable structure, improving the mounting and maintenance efficiency of string lamp.
