Sliding Bracket Fastening for Lamp Body Position Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fastening structures for lamp bodies and brackets are inefficient due to fixed coupling positions and limited adjustability, requiring significant on-site work and rework for position and direction changes, and are not cost-effective or easy to handle.
Innovation Solution
A fastening structure featuring a slide groove in the lamp body with a rotatable, lockable slide block and tightening bolt, allowing easy adjustment of coupling position and direction with a single bolt, ensuring quick and efficient installation and compact design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a fixed coupling structure is used for the bracket and lamp body, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed with a sliding mechanism that allows it to move along a guide rail on the lamp body, transforming a fixed coupling structure into a dynamic adjustable one. The bracket can be positioned at different locations along the rail and locked in place, providing both adjustability and positioning precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling structure is divided into separate components: a guide rail fixed on the lamp body, a sliding block on the bracket that moves along the rail, and a locking mechanism. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component for both precision and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a sliding mechanism with multiple adjustment directions is provided, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed as a universal mounting structure that can accommodate different installation directions and positions through a single integrated design. The guide rail and sliding block mechanism provides both linear positioning and rotational capability, eliminating the need for multiple specialized components.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple adjustment functions (linear positioning along the rail, rotational adjustment, and locking) are merged into a single bracket assembly with integrated components, rather than using separate mechanisms for each function. This reduces overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a complex coupling structure is made on site, then the adaptability is improved, but the productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is pre-manufactured with an integrated sliding block and locking mechanism, and the lamp body has a pre-installed guide rail. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex on-site coupling structure fabrication, allowing workers to simply slide and lock the bracket into position during installation.
