Solution Overview

Problem

Current LED bulb technologies face challenges in creating a moving projection image with wide viewing angles and efficient illumination, as they often suffer from heat issues, electrical signal interference, and limited illumination range due to blockages from lamp shades or other objects.

Innovation Solution

The integration of a moving LED bulb system with a rotating optics-lens assembly, image carrier, and adjustable light beams, utilizing a gearbox for controlled rotation speed, allows for a wide viewing angle projection image while overcoming heat and signal interference by repositioning LEDs and electric components to avoid blockages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If LED bulbs are used for projection, then energy efficiency is improved, but heat generation causes signal interference and blockage issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidheat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the harmful heat generation effect from the LED bulb by positioning it outside the projection path and using a separate illumination source (lamp shade) for the projection mechanism. This separation removes the heat interference while maintaining LED energy efficiency for ambient lighting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary illumination system (lamp shade with projection patterns) that mediates between the LED light source and the projection surface. This intermediary carries the projection function while allowing LED bulbs to operate independently without heat-related signal interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If lamp shades are used for projection, then image projection is achieved, but viewing angle is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage projectionVSAvoidviewing angle
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the projection system rotatable, allowing the projection image to move and be viewed from different angles. The rotating mechanism enables the same projection source to serve multiple viewing positions dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds rotational movement as another dimension to the projection system, transforming a static single-angle projection into a dynamic multi-angle projection capability, effectively increasing viewing angle coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Device complexity

If LEDs are positioned close to projection components, then compact design is achieved, but electrical signal interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompact designVSAvoidelectrical signal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the LED bulbs from close proximity to the projection components, positioning them separately to eliminate electrical signal interference while maintaining a relatively compact overall design through strategic spatial arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
