Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light devices face issues with poor connection and inaccurate alignment due to wear in threaded connections, leading to unreliable and inefficient assembly and disassembly processes.
Innovation Solution
A clamping structure featuring a male seat with clamping protrusions, an elastic limiting component, and a pushing aid that allows for secure and precise attachment and detachment through clamping slots and limiting slots, eliminating the need for threaded connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded connections are used for detachable connection of light device components, then the connection can be established, but the threads are prone to wear during long-term use resulting in poor connection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the threaded connection mechanism from the light device components and replaces it with a clamping structure featuring clamping protrusions and clamping slots. This eliminates the threads that were prone to wear, thereby resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and service life duration.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping protrusions and clamping slots are designed as wear-resistant features that do not degrade over time like threaded connections. The clamping structure uses simple geometric features rather than complex threaded mechanisms, providing a durable connection solution that maintains reliability throughout the service life of the light device components.
2Ease of operation
If threaded connections are used to fix components, then the components can be connected, but the difference in thread spiral quantity causes uncertainty in orientation of light emitting surface, operation keys or display screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs asymmetric clamping protrusions and corresponding clamping slots that provide inherent orientation guidance. The specific geometry and arrangement of these features ensure that components can only be assembled in the correct orientation, eliminating the uncertainty caused by varying thread spiral quantities while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping structure with its specific geometric features automatically guides the components into the correct orientation during assembly. The design itself provides the orientation information and alignment function without requiring additional markings or complex procedures, allowing the structure to serve its own alignment purpose.
