Lighting Structure With Segmented Engaging Members
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lighting device assembly methods are either time-consuming and durable, limited to single light sources, or overly complicated, lacking quick assembly and disassembly capabilities and durability.
Innovation Solution
A lighting device with multiple engaging members, including symmetrical holders and intersecting supporting rod fitting portions, allowing for easy clockwise/counterclockwise assembly and disassembly with a light cover, enabling multiple light sources and improved stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If latches are used to assemble the light cover with the lighting device, then the assembling result is stable, but the disassembling process is time-consuming and the latch structure has low durability
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement structure is divided into multiple discrete engaging members (first engaging member, second engaging member, third engaging member, fourth engaging member) distributed around the periphery, each capable of independent engagement and disengagement. This segmentation allows the light cover to be disassembled from one end while maintaining stability during the process, resolving the contradiction between stability and disassembly time.
Solution Approach 2:
The engaging members are designed with movable elements (engagement protrusions and engagement grooves) that can dynamically transition between engaged and disengaged states. The first engaging member engages with the second, and the third engages with the fourth, creating a dynamic sequence that enables quick one-end disassembly while maintaining overall structural stability during operation.
2Ease of operation
If jointing structures are used to assemble the light cover with the lighting device, then the assembling process is simple, but only one light source can be installed
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement structure with multiple distributed engaging members provides a universal mounting platform that can accommodate multiple light sources (first light source, second light source, third light source, fourth light source) positioned at different locations. The symmetrical arrangement of engaging members allows flexible configuration of multiple light sources while maintaining simple assembly operations, thus achieving both ease of operation and adaptability.
3Reliability
If fasteners are used to assemble the light cover with the lighting device, then the connection is durable, but the assembling process is complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the need for separate fasteners (screws, bolts, etc.) by integrating the fastening function directly into the engaging members. The engagement protrusions and grooves form self-contained fastening mechanisms that provide durable connections without requiring additional fastener components, thereby reducing assembly complexity while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The engaging members are designed to perform both engagement and fastening functions simultaneously without external assistance. The first engaging member self-engages with the second, and the third with the fourth, creating a self-service fastening system that eliminates the need for separate fastening operations, tools, or procedures, thus reducing complexity while ensuring reliable connections.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a lighting structure used in photographing or video recording. The lighting structure of the present invention includes four holders, which are disposed around a periphery of the lighting structure and are configured in a symmetrical manner with each other. At least one engaging member is formed between each one of the holder in a predetermined clockwise/counterclockwise direction. The lighting structure of the present invention can be assembled with a light cover. The light cover includes two intersecting supporting rods, which are corresponding to the engaging members. The two intersecting supporting rods can be engaged with the engaging members.
