Current lamp installation methods require multiple people and are cumbersome, especially in narrow spaces, making them inconvenient and time-consuming for both installation and disassembly.
Innovation Solution
A lamp installation component featuring a clamping assembly with a fixed part, abutting part, movable part, and elastic part, allowing for easy clamping and disassembly, along with a mounting frame that can be directly engaged with the lamp, enabling one-handed operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screws are used to fix lamps on the wall or showcase, then the lamp can be securely fixed, but the installation process becomes troublesome and requires multiple people
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a dynamic clamping mechanism where the clamping portion can transition between open and closed states. The movable clamping component is driven by an elastic component (spring) to automatically clamp onto the mounting surface when engaged, eliminating the need for manual screw tightening while maintaining secure fixation. This dynamic action allows single-handed operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping mechanism is designed to self-clamp onto the mounting surface through the elastic force of the spring. When the mounting component is engaged with the mounting surface, the elastic component automatically drives the movable clamping portion to close and secure the lamp, without requiring additional manual intervention or tools for tightening.
2Reliability
If screws are used to fix lamps, then secure mounting is achieved, but installation and disassembly become time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic clamping mechanism allows rapid engagement and disengagement. The movable clamping portion can be quickly opened by applying force to the elastic component, enabling fast installation and disassembly without the time-consuming process of screw tightening and loosening, while maintaining secure mounting when engaged.
3Reliability
If traditional screw fixing is used, then lamps can be mounted, but installation in narrow spaces becomes inconvenient and requires multiple people
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting component is divided into separate functional parts: a fixed clamping portion and a movable clamping portion. This segmentation allows the movable part to be independently actuated and positioned, enabling the mechanism to adapt to narrow spaces and complex mounting geometries that would be inaccessible to traditional screw-fixing tools requiring two hands.
4Reliability
If lamps are fixed with screws, then stable mounting is achieved, but disassembly becomes difficult and laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic clamping mechanism allows easy disassembly by simply applying force to open the movable clamping portion against the elastic force of the spring. This eliminates the laborious process of unscrewing and manually manipulating screw fasteners, making maintenance and relocation straightforward while maintaining stable mounting during operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates quick and secure installation and disassembly of lamps in tight spaces, reducing the need for multiple people and simplifying the process.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic part is held between the movable part and the abutting part, so that the movable part has a tendency to form a clamped state close to the fixed part
Implementation Method 2
the elastic part is held between the movable part and the abutting part
