Rod Clamp Assembly With Bushing for Quick Stand Repositioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exhibition and studio equipment stands are not designed for quick disassembly and reconfiguration, making it difficult to dynamically adjust the position of lights and microphones during events like movie shooting or live recordings.
Innovation Solution
An assembling structure comprising an upper clamp element, a lower clamp element, and a bushing that allows for easy detachment and reattachment of a rod with a stand, reducing friction and enabling fast withdrawal and repositioning of the equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the stand uses a tight clamping structure to fix the rod, then the rod is securely held, but it becomes difficult to quickly detach and reposition the rod
Solution Approach 1:
The bushing acts as an intermediary component inserted into the clamping space between the clamp elements and the rod. It reduces friction during detachment while maintaining secure fixation during use, enabling both reliable holding and quick release of the rod
2Adaptability or versatility
If the stand structure is made complex to enable quick disassembly, then dynamic repositioning is possible, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping mechanism is segmented into upper and lower clamp elements that can independently move along the rod. This segmentation allows each element to be controlled separately for quick detachment and repositioning, achieving adaptability without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The bushing serves as a mediator that simplifies the interaction between the clamp elements and the rod, reducing friction and enabling smooth, quick detachment and reattachment operations with minimal structural complexity
3Reliability
If friction between the clamp elements and rod is increased to prevent slippage, then the rod remains stable, but the energy required for detachment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bushing is inserted as an intermediary between the clamp elements and the rod, creating a low-friction interface that reduces the energy required for detachment while maintaining stable clamping during the event

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick assembly and disassembly of studio equipment, allowing for dynamic adjustments in positioning without damaging the bushing, thus meeting the needs of varying event conditions.
Implementation Method 1
can be quickly pulled out from the upper clamping space and the lower clamping space with less friction due to the presence of the bushing

AI summary
An assembling structure for a rod to be fixed or detached with a stand is provided, which includes an upper clamp element, a lower clamp element, and a bushing. The upper clamp element and the lower clamp element include an upper clamping space and a lower clamping space respectively. The shapes thereof correspond to the rod to tightly clamp the rod onto the stand. The lower clamp element includes a positioning structure that holds up the stand. The bushing is located between the upper clamp element and the stand body, so that the rod can be quickly pulled out from the upper and lower clamping space with less friction after the upper clamp element and the lower clamp element are loosened. When re-inserted, the rod is positioned through being held up by the positioning structure to meet the usage needs of fast withdrawal or positioning the rod.
