Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED lights for stores have fixed light-emitting angles and uniform side wing materials, leading to issues like yellow spots and inability to meet diverse lighting needs.

Innovation Solution

A strip light design with adjustable light-emitting angles and detachable side wings featuring hook-shaped structures, allowing for flexible installation and customizable surface textures to enhance lighting performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the light-emitting angle is fixed, then the structure is simple and manufacturing is easy, but the adaptability to different lighting needs is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting angle adjustabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The side wings are divided into detachable components with hook-shaped structures that can be positioned at different locations on the frame base. This segmentation allows the side wings to be repositioned or removed, enabling adjustment of the light-emitting angle without requiring a completely different fixture design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The side wings are designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing users to adjust their position to change the light-emitting angle. The hook-shaped structures enable dynamic repositioning between different mounting locations on the frame base, providing adaptability while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If uniform materials are used for side wings, then manufacturing is simple and cost is low, but yellow spots appear in certain situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidyellow spots
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Different surface treatments or material properties are applied to different parts of the side wings or frame base. Specifically, the frame base and side wings can have different surface textures or finishes in specific areas to control light reflection and reduce yellow spots, while maintaining simple manufacturing processes for the base materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If side wings are detachable with hook-shaped structures, then packaging space is reduced and installation is easier, but the connection reliability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation easeVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The hook-shaped structure on the side wings is designed to engage with corresponding features on the frame base in a way that combines multiple functions: secure mechanical retention, easy detachment, and alignment guidance. The hook shape allows the side wing to be snapped into place reliably while maintaining simplicity for both installation and removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A strip light with a light-emitting angle adjusting function includes a frame base, a light source board, a light cover and two side wings. The frame base has two side arms disposed at the two sides thereof. Each of the side arms is provided with a first slot and a second slot. The light source board is disposed on the inner surface of the frame base. The light cover is disposed on the side arms and covers the light source board. Each of the side wings has a hook-shaped structure at one end thereof. Each of the hook-shaped structures is movably engaged with the first slot or the second slot, such that the two side wings are attached to the two sides of the frame base.
