Quick-Release Light Stand Mount for Single-Person Lamp Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of large lamps on light stands often requires multiple staff members due to their bulky size, posing a challenge in terms of ease and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A disassembly and assembly component featuring a quick-release mechanism with a locking and unlocking system, including a first and second protrusion, a limiting groove, and a spring-loaded unlocking button, allows for easy attachment and detachment of light sources to a light stand.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional mounting methods are used for large lamps, then the lamp can be securely installed on the light stand, but multiple staff members are required for installation
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate components: a quick-release base on the light stand, an adaptor on the lamp, and a locking component. These segmented parts can be independently assembled and then quickly connected, allowing single-person installation while maintaining secure mounting.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking component is designed to be movable, transitioning between locked and unlocked states. This dynamic mechanism allows the installer to easily switch between securing and releasing the lamp without requiring multiple people or complex procedures.
2Productivity
If traditional mounting methods are used for large lamps, then the lamp remains stable during use, but the installation process requires multiple workers and time
Solution Approach 1:
The locking component is pre-positioned and the locking groove is pre-formed on the quick-release base. When installing the lamp, the locking component simply needs to be moved to engage with the groove, eliminating the need for time-consuming alignment and manual fastening operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The quick-release mechanism allows the installation process to be rushed through by simply moving the locking component from the unlocked to locked position. This single action completes the entire mounting process, dramatically reducing installation time and increasing productivity.
3Reliability
If a secure locking mechanism is implemented, then the lamp is firmly fixed on the light stand, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The locking function is extracted as a separate, movable locking component rather than being integrated into the main structure. This extracted component can be independently designed for reliability while keeping the overall structure simple and easy to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking component acts as an intermediary element between the lamp adaptor and the quick-release base. This mediator provides the secure connection function without requiring complex integration into either the lamp or stand structure, maintaining simplicity while ensuring reliability.
