Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lamp body brackets, typically made of rigid metal or alloy, require high manufacturing and assembly accuracy, leading to installation issues and jamming due to manufacturing errors or structural deformation caused by temperature effects.

Innovation Solution

A lamp body bracket design featuring a main support frame with adjustable first and second side extensions, including a movable first adjusting seat and a second adjusting seat that can rotate to adjust the pitching angle, along with a shaft assembly and limiting portions to ensure smooth fitting and prevent jamming, even with manufacturing or assembly errors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If rigid metal brackets with fixed linear distance between ends are used, then structural strength is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase and assembly difficulty increases due to temperature deformation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket strengthVSAvoidassembly accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the rigid fixed-distance bracket into a dynamic adjustable structure. The bracket includes an adjustable connection mechanism that allows the linear distance between its two ends to be modified. This enables the bracket to adapt to temperature-induced deformations and manufacturing tolerances while maintaining structural integrity, thereby resolving the contradiction between strength and assembly precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If rigid metal brackets with fixed linear distance are used, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability decreases due to inability to accommodate manufacturing errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket stabilityVSAvoidassembly adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by enabling the bracket's linear distance parameter to be adjusted. The adjustable connection mechanism allows modification of the distance between the bracket's ends, providing adaptability to accommodate manufacturing errors and assembly variations while preserving structural stability. This resolves the contradiction between stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If fixed-distance bracket design is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation decreases due to difficulty in accommodating assembly errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket structure complexityVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustability into the bracket structure through an adjustable connection mechanism. This mechanism allows the linear distance between bracket ends to be modified during assembly or operation, making it easier to accommodate assembly errors without significantly increasing overall device complexity. The adjustment capability improves ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple bracket construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
