Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing angle-adjustable lamp mechanisms face issues with complex assembly processes, component fragmentation, and instability due to separate limiting plates and gears, leading to inconvenient adjustment and potential dimming effects.
Innovation Solution
An integrated angle-adjusting mechanism featuring a rotatable mounting base, elastic piece, and gear within the lamp body, where the elastic piece is fixed via a sleeve connection on the threading cylinder, ensuring synchronous rotation and stable adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the limiting plate and gear are separate components, then the angle adjustment mechanism can be implemented, but the assembly steps increase and assembly time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the limiting plate and gear into a single integrated component structure. The limiting plate is formed as an integral part of the gear assembly, eliminating the need for separate assembly steps and reducing component fragmentation while maintaining the angle adjustment functionality.
2Reliability
If the limiting plate is located in the chute of the outer end cover, then angle adjustment is possible, but the limiting plate is easy to fall off due to vibration, causing ineffective cooperation with the gear
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting plate and gear are combined into an integrated structure where the limiting plate is formed as part of the gear assembly. This integration ensures that the limiting plate cannot separate or fall off during vibration, maintaining stable cooperation between the components throughout operation.
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple separate components are used for angle adjustment, then the adjustment mechanism can be realized, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate components (limiting plate and gear) into a single integrated component. This reduction in component count directly lowers production costs by reducing material usage, simplifying manufacturing processes, and decreasing assembly operations while maintaining the full angle adjustment functionality.
