Multifunctional Track Lamp Holder Assembly with Rotating Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamp holders are designed to hold a single lamp, requiring multiple holders for multiple lamps, increasing costs and occupying more space.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional track-type lamp holder assembly with a support post and fixtures, where each fixture has a locking member that can be rotated and locked into limit grooves on the support post, allowing multiple lamps to be mounted without the need for multiple holders, with features like adjustable ground insert members and handles for easy installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple conventional lamp holders are used to mount multiple lamps, then each lamp can be held securely, but the cost increases and the area occupied increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple lamp holder functions are merged into a single support post structure. The support post integrates multiple mounting positions and fixtures that can hold multiple lamps simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate lamp holder units for each lamp.
Solution Approach 2:
The support post is designed as a universal mounting structure that can accommodate multiple types of fixtures and lamps. It provides multiple entrance slots and limit grooves that allow different fixtures to be mounted on the same support post, enabling one structure to serve multiple lamp-holding functions.

3Reliability
If fixtures are mounted on the support post with locking members, then secure mounting is achieved, but the assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into distinct functional components: the support post with entrance slots, fixtures with locking members, and limit grooves. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while simplifying the overall assembly process through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using complex locking mechanisms that require multiple steps, the design uses a simple rotation-based locking system. The locking member rotates to engage with the limit grooves, and the pressing pieces with tapered surfaces automatically provide tightening force during rotation, inverting the traditional approach where separate tightening operations are needed.

AI summary
A lamp holder assembly includes a support post, and a plurality of fixtures mounted on the support post. The support post includes a main body and a securing portion. The main body has a plurality of entrance slots. Each of the entrance slots has two limit grooves. Each of the fixtures includes a mounting head and a locking member. The locking member is inserted into each of the entrance slots and is introduced from each of the entrance slots into the two limit grooves of each of the entrance slots by rotation of each of the fixtures, and is locked in the two limit grooves of each of the entrance slots. The locking member is provided with two pressing pieces. When each of the fixtures is rotated, the pressing pieces are locked into the limit grooves of each of the entrance slots.
