Solution Overview

Problem

Existing tripod lamps are vulnerable to damage from external environments such as sand and dust due to their exposed lighting assembly, which affects their service life.

Innovation Solution

A tripod lamp with a storage structure that allows the lighting assembly to be stored when not in use, utilizing a telescopic structure with an inlet/outlet port for easy deployment and retraction, along with a cover plate for enhanced protection, and adjustable supporting legs for stability on various surfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the lighting assembly is always exposed for easy access, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to damage from sand and dust

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of access to lighting assemblyVSAvoidservice life of lighting assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a telescopic bracket assembly that allows the lighting assembly to dynamically transition between exposed and stored positions. The bracket can be extended to provide easy access to the lighting assembly during use, and retracted to store the lighting assembly in a protected position when not in use, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of access and protection from environmental damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the lighting assembly is stored in the bracket assembly, then the reliability is improved by protecting from external damage, but the ease of operation worsens due to additional storage operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of lighting assemblyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the storage function and the support function into a single integrated bracket assembly. The bracket serves dual purposes: supporting the tripod lamp structure and storing the lighting assembly. This merging eliminates the need for separate storage mechanisms, reducing operational complexity while maintaining reliable protection of the lighting assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the tripod lamp structure is extended for stability, then the stability is improved, but the volume increases reducing portability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of tripod lampVSAvoidvolume of tripod lamp
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a nested telescopic structure where the bracket assembly can be retracted into a compact configuration for portability, and extended to provide structural stability during use. The lighting assembly is nested within the bracket assembly when stored, allowing the entire structure to be compacted to a small volume for transport while maintaining the ability to extend to a stable working configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
