LED Lamp Body Holding Structure with Elastic Clamping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamp bodies for LED lamps are cumbersome to attach and detach from holding structures, particularly for larger and longer models, requiring complex assembly and disassembly processes.
Innovation Solution
A lamp body design featuring offset projecting or recessed areas that counteract a restoring force, allowing for secure and simple clamping onto a holding structure using a spring mechanism or elastically deformable materials, enabling tool-free assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional attachment methods are used for lamp bodies, then secure fixation to holding structure is achieved, but assembly and disassembly become cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp body incorporates elastic deformation capability in its holding structure, allowing dynamic adjustment during assembly. The holding structure can be deformed elastically to facilitate insertion into the holding rail, then automatically snaps into a fixed position, enabling quick tool-free assembly and disassembly while maintaining secure fixation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of the holding structure by introducing elastic deformability. This allows the structure to transition between a deformed state (during assembly) and a fixed state (during operation), enabling rapid installation without complex tools while ensuring stable attachment
2Area of stationary object
If larger and longer lamp bodies are used, then lighting coverage is improved, but handling and assembly become more difficult requiring the fitter to hold the lamp body
Solution Approach 1:
The holding structure is divided into multiple engagement points along the lamp body. These segmented attachment points allow the lamp to be supported at multiple locations simultaneously, distributing the weight and enabling easy installation of long lamp bodies without requiring the fitter to hold the entire length
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary holding structure with multiple engagement points that acts as a mediator between the lamp body and the installation surface. This intermediary structure provides distributed support points that make handling and installation of large lamp bodies easier
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy and secure attachment and detachment of lamp bodies to holding structures, reducing installation time and improving handling, especially for elongated lamps, while providing protection against external influences and ensuring safe electrical connections.
Implementation Method 1
the first and the second area can be movable against the restoring force... the first and/or the second area is/are elastically deformable
Implementation Method 2
The restoring force can be provided by the first and/or second area or by a further area, in particular a separate element of the lamp body... The first and/or the second area is formed by a spring, in particular by a leaf spring

AI summary
The lamp structure (2) has holding structure (16) with two protruding or recessed portions (12,18) that is formed at outer side. The protruding or recessed portions are moved towards each other against a return force. The protruding or recessed portions are formed by a plate spring. The two protruding portions are extended parallel to longitudinal axis of lamp structure. The lamp structure is made of resilient deformable material. Several series of LEDs (8) are arranged on a side of a light carrier (4) pointing to a reflecting region (5).
