Rotatable Light Tube Suspension for Adjustable Lighting Direction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current lighting devices lack a structural design that allows for adjusting the lighting direction, making them unable to meet the diverse lighting needs of different applications.
Innovation Solution
A lighting device with a rotatable suspension structure, comprising a flat plate member, a clamp member with rotation holes and bent wing portions, and a fixing member, which allows the lighting device to rotate and adjust its direction to suit various applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed suspension structure is used, then the device is simple to manufacture, but the lighting direction cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed suspension structure into a rotatable one. The clamp member is designed with a rotation hole that allows it to rotate around the suspension rope, enabling the lighting device to change its orientation and adjust the lighting direction dynamically while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rotatable clamp member is added, then the lighting direction can be adjusted, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp member is segmented into two functional parts: the main body with the rotation hole for rotational movement, and the wing portions with bent portions for clamping the suspension rope. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently, achieving multiple suspension modes without excessive structural complexity.
3Reliability
If the bent portions are embedded in grooves, then the clamp member is securely fixed, but the rotation capability may be restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The grooves in the wing portions act as intermediaries between the bent portions and the suspension rope. The bent portions are embedded in these grooves to provide secure fixation, while the grooves themselves are designed to guide and facilitate smooth rotation around the suspension rope, resolving the conflict between secure fixation and rotation smoothness.

AI summary
A lighting device includes a suspension structure and a light tube. The suspension structure includes a flat plate member, a clamp member, and a fixing member. The flat plate member has a first hole disposed at one end of the flat plate member. The clamp member is disposed on one side of the flat plate member, and includes a main body and two wing portions respectively disposed at two ends of the main body. The main body has a rotation hole, and each of the wing portions has a bent portion. The fixing member passes through the rotation hole and the first hole, such that the clamp member is rotatably fixed to the flat plate member. The light tube includes a tube body having two grooves. The bent portions of the wing portions are embedded in the grooves respectively.
