Rotatable Hanging Lamp Clamp for Irregular Screen Frames
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fixing clamps for hanging lamps are not adaptable to both thicker and thinner display screens, nor to special-shaped screens, due to limitations in their design and inability to adjust the center of gravity effectively.
Innovation Solution
A fixing clamp with a sequence of clamping structures, including a first, second, and third clamping structure, equipped with counterweight structures, allowing for rotational adjustment to fit various screen shapes and sizes, and balance the center of gravity, ensuring secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed design of fixing clamp is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to both thicker and thinner frames or special-shaped screens
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing clamp is divided into multiple rotatable clamping structures (first, second, and third clamping structures) that can independently adjust their positions and angles. This segmentation allows each part to adapt to different screen shapes and thicknesses while maintaining overall structural coherence.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping structures are designed with rotational joints that enable dynamic adjustment of the clamp's configuration. Users can rotate the clamping structures to match the specific geometry of the screen being mounted, transforming a static device into a dynamically adaptable one.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the fixing clamp is designed for thick frames, then it provides strong clamping force, but it cannot fit thin frames
Solution Approach 1:
The rotational joints in the clamping structures enable continuous adjustment of the clamp's profile to match different frame thicknesses. This dynamic adaptability allows the same device to securely fit both thick and thin frames without requiring multiple specialized clamps.
3Reliability
If the fixing clamp lacks counterweight structure, then the structure is simpler, but the center of gravity cannot be balanced causing the clamp to separate from the clamped object
Solution Approach 1:
Counterweight structures are integrated into the fixing clamp design to balance the center of gravity. By positioning these counterweights appropriately, the clamp maintains stable attachment to screens of various shapes and sizes, preventing separation due to gravitational imbalance.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple rotatable clamping structures with counterweight are added, then adaptability and center of gravity adjustment are improved, but the device becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Each clamping structure serves multiple functions: providing clamping force, enabling angular adjustment, and supporting counterweight integration. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity despite enhanced adaptability.
