Movable Lamp Base Feet for Stability and Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamp base assemblies are bulky and heavy, making them difficult to handle and transport due to their large size and weight, which affects their adaptability to different environments and increases the occupied space.
Innovation Solution
A lamp base assembly with movably positioned supporting feet that can rotate or slide relative to the base body, allowing the feet to protrude for stability or fold for reduced space occupation, featuring positioning posts, elastic members, and anti-skid pads for improved adaptability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the size of the lamp base assembly is increased to improve stability, then the lamp becomes more stable and does not fall over, but the lamp base assembly occupies more space and becomes heavier, making it difficult to handle during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the supporting feet movable rather than fixed. The supporting feet can rotate between a first position (protruding outward) that provides maximum stability and a second position (retracted) that minimizes occupied space. This dynamic configuration allows the lamp base assembly to adapt its footprint based on whether stability or compactness is the priority, resolving the contradiction between stability and space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the supporting feet from the base body, allowing them to be independently positioned. The supporting feet are connected to the base body through a rotating connection mechanism, enabling them to be segmented into different spatial configurations. This segmentation allows the supporting feet to be separated from the main body structure and repositioned, thereby reducing the overall occupied space while maintaining stability when needed.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the weight of the base is increased to improve stability, then the lamp is more stable, but the lamp base assembly becomes heavier, making it difficult to handle during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dynamics by implementing movable supporting feet that can be retracted into the base body. When the supporting feet are retracted into the second position, the effective weight distribution changes, allowing the lamp to be more easily handled during transportation. The dynamic repositioning capability means the full weight benefit isn't always required, enabling easier handling when stability is less critical.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dimensionality change by moving the supporting feet from a fixed two-dimensional base footprint into a three-dimensional retracted position within or near the base body. This vertical or inward retraction into another spatial dimension reduces the horizontal footprint and effective weight distribution, making the lamp easier to handle and transport without requiring a complete redesign of the base structure.
3Device complexity
If the supporting feet are fixed in position, then the structure is simple, but the lamp base assembly cannot adapt to different environments and cannot be folded for compact storage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by providing the supporting feet with rotational capability relative to the base body. The supporting feet can rotate between a first position for stable placement and a second position for compact storage or adaptation to different surfaces. This dynamic feature enables the lamp base assembly to adapt to various environments and storage requirements while adding only minimal rotational mechanism complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by designing the supporting feet to serve multiple functions through their movable capability. The same supporting feet structure provides both stability during lamp operation (first position) and compactness during storage or transportation (second position). This multi-functionality allows a single structure to adapt to different environmental requirements without needing separate components for each function.
