Foldable Star Lamp Hinge Structure for Angle Adjustment and Durability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing explosion star decorative lamps have unsatisfactory decorative effects due to fixed light direction, lack of adjustability, and structural weaknesses, making them prone to damage during transportation and use.
Innovation Solution
An articulated device with a hinged structure allows for adjustable and foldable star lamp design, featuring an articulated joint and base with stop blocks and connection mechanisms, enabling rotation and folding of the lamp tubes for improved adjustability and packaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional direct connection structure is used for explosion star lamps, then the structure is simple, but the structural strength is insufficient and easy to be damaged during transportation and use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing an articulated joint mechanism that allows the lamp structure to be foldable and adjustable. The articulated joint includes a joint body with a joint cavity, joint arms that can rotate relative to each other, and joint blocks that engage with grooves on the lamp body. This dynamic structure enables the lamp to be folded into a compact form for transportation while maintaining structural strength when deployed, directly resolving the contradiction between structural strength and ease of transportation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed direction light bars are used, then the structure is simple, but the angle cannot be adjusted which limits the applicability of the product
Solution Approach 1:
The articulated joint mechanism enables dynamic angle adjustment of the light bars. The joint arms can rotate relative to each other around the joint axis, and the joint blocks can engage with different positions on the grooves, allowing the lamp to achieve various angles and shapes. This dynamic structure provides multi-position adjustability while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp structure is divided into multiple independent segments including joint bodies, joint arms, and lamp bodies that can be independently adjusted. Each joint can be positioned independently, allowing flexible configuration of the entire lamp structure. This segmentation enables angle adjustability while keeping each individual component relatively simple, addressing the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If star-shaped structure with laser light is used, then the light source is fixed, but it is inconvenient to adjust and the structure is not strong enough
Solution Approach 1:
The articulated joint mechanism transforms the fixed star-shaped structure into a dynamic, adjustable structure. The joint arms can rotate and the joint blocks can engage with grooves at different positions, allowing easy adjustment of the lamp's shape and angle without compromising structural strength. The mechanical connection through joint blocks and grooves provides both adjustability and structural integrity, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and structural strength.
