Lamp Clamp With Movable Stopping Portion For Thin Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamp clamps struggle to provide a stable clamping force on thinner and curved display screens without compromising aesthetics or functionality, as the reduced clamping area limits their ability to securely fix lamps in place.
Innovation Solution
A lamp clamp design featuring two clamping members with a movable stopping portion that adjusts the clamping distance, allowing for flexible fitting of different shapes and thicknesses, and adjustable positioning to maintain a steady clamping force without jeopardizing aesthetics or functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a conventional fixed clamping member is used to fix the lamp apparatus, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the clamping force is insufficient on thin displays with reduced clamping area
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping member is designed with a movable stopping portion that can reciprocate along the connecting portion, transforming the static clamping structure into a dynamic one. This allows the clamping member to adapt its clamping force and position based on the display thickness and curvature, providing sufficient clamping force on thin displays while maintaining structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The stopping portion can be positioned at different locations along the connecting portion, changing the clamping parameters (distance between clamping points, clamping force distribution) to accommodate different display specifications. This parameter adjustment capability enables the same clamping member to effectively clamp various thin display types without increasing structural complexity
2Reliability
If the clamping member is designed to provide sufficient clamping force on thin displays, then the clamping reliability improves, but the aesthetic appearance and completeness of the lamp apparatus may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping member is segmented into distinct functional portions: a stopping portion for providing clamping force, a connecting portion for structural support, and a lamp fixing portion for mounting the light source. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining an integrated, aesthetically pleasing overall structure that does not compromise the lamp apparatus appearance
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed clamping distance is used, then the manufacturing precision is easier to control, but the adaptability to different display shapes and thicknesses is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The movable stopping portion allows the clamping distance to be dynamically adjusted by repositioning the stopping portion along the connecting portion. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the clamping member to adapt to different display shapes and thicknesses without requiring high-precision manufacturing for multiple fixed distance configurations, thus improving adaptability while maintaining ease of manufacturing

AI summary
A lamp clamp used to fix a light source on an object is disclosed. The lamp clamp includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member. The first clamping member includes a lamp fixing portion, a connecting portion and a stopping portion. The lamp fixing portion is used to fix the light source.The connecting portion is connected to the lamp fixing portion. The stopping portion is movably connected to the connecting portion and has a stopping surface selectively disposed at one of plural positions on the connecting portion. The second clamping member is connected to the connecting portion to clamp the object between the stopping surface and the second clamping member.
