Table Light Strip Fixation Using Detachable Dual-Board Compression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tables with LED light strips face issues of insecure fixation, cumbersome installation processes, and limited multi-directional illumination due to single-sided attachment, which can lead to dirt accumulation and detachment.
Innovation Solution
A table design with a detachable tabletop comprising two boards that securely hold the light strip between them, using compression forces and support mechanisms, allowing for dual-sided illumination and easy installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the light strip is attached to one side of the tabletop, then the installation is simple, but the fixation is insecure and the illumination is limited to single direction
Solution Approach 1:
The tabletop is divided into two separate boards (first table board and second table board) that are detachably connected. The light strip is positioned between these two boards, with each board providing support from opposite sides. This segmentation allows the light strip to be securely held in place through the compression force between the boards, eliminating the need for adhesive tape while enabling dual-directional illumination.
2Reliability
If adhesive tape is used to fix the light strip, then the fixation is secure, but the replacement process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between the first table board and second table board is made detachable rather than permanent. This dynamic connection allows the light strip to be securely fixed during use through the compression force between the boards, while enabling easy removal and replacement by simply detaching the boards. The system transitions from a static adhesive-based fixation to a dynamic mechanical fixation that can be easily adjusted.
3Reliability
If the light strip is attached to the tabletop surface, then the fixation is secure, but dirt accumulates and the light strip is prone to detachment
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of attaching the light strip to the top surface of the tabletop (two-dimensional surface attachment), the light strip is positioned between two boards in a third dimension. The compression force between the first and second table boards holds the light strip securely from opposite sides, creating a sandwich structure. This eliminates the light strip's direct contact with the external environment, preventing dirt accumulation while maintaining secure fixation.

AI summary
A table, comprising: a tabletop, a table leg assembly, and a light strip. The tabletop comprises a first table board and a second table board detachably connected to each other. Both ends of the light strip are placed on the table leg assembly and the light strip is disposed between the first table board and the second table board. A secure fixing of the light strip can be realized by the compression force in the horizontal direction between the first table board and the second table board, therefore, the need for adhesive tape and forming grooves on the tabletop is eliminated. Moreover, this table structure allows for easy installation and replacement of the light strip while also enabling dual-sided illumination, providing a good decorative effect.
