Solution Overview

Problem

The existing bracket mechanism in photography lamps occupies a large internal space, leading to an increased overall volume of the lamp.

Innovation Solution

A compact design featuring a bracket with a connecting rod and pushing rod connected at an included angle, where the connecting rod is connected to the ejector rod, and the pushing rod extends away from the accessory slot, allowing the ejector rod to slide relative to the through-hole, reducing the space occupied by the bracket and utilizing the gap between the heat dissipation mechanism and housing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a traditional bracket mechanism is used to drive the ejector rod to slide, then the ejector rod can be driven to slide, but the bracket occupies more internal space of the photography lamp, thereby increasing the overall volume of the photography lamp

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveejector rod slidingVSAvoidoverall volume of photography lamp
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket is designed with a folded configuration where the pushing rod and connecting rod form an angled structure that utilizes the gap between the heat dissipation mechanism and housing in the depth dimension. This allows the bracket to drive the ejector rod while occupying minimal internal space, resolving the contradiction between operational functionality and compact volume.

2Volume of moving object

If the bracket is designed to be compact, then the overall volume of the photography lamp is reduced, but the bracket must still effectively drive the ejector rod to slide

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall volume of photography lampVSAvoidejector rod sliding
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket employs a dynamic folded structure where the pushing rod and connecting rod are connected at an included angle, allowing the bracket to transform its configuration during operation. This dynamic design enables effective ejector rod driving action within a compact volume, maintaining operational effectiveness while minimizing space occupation.

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a photography lamp. The photography lamp includes a housing, an ejector rod, and a bracket. The housing includes a front housing and a mid-frame, an accessory slot is arranged on a side of the front housing, the bracket is arranged on another side of the front housing away from the accessory slot and slidably connected to the front housing; the bracket includes a connecting rod and a pushing rod connected at an included angle. The space occupied by the bracket is reduced, and the structure of the photography lamp is more compact and smaller.
