Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional recessed lighting fixtures lack the flexibility to adjust light positioning effectively, limiting their ability to provide targeted and versatile lighting solutions for various applications.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates an adjustable bracket system that allows lamp assemblies to be rotated about multiple axes, enabling precise positioning and adjustment of light sources within a housing, with a pivot plate and securing elements for secure and customizable placement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional recessed lighting fixtures are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the flexibility to adjust light positioning is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility to adjust light positioningVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting fixture employs adjustable brackets with pivot plates that enable dynamic repositioning of light sources. The brackets can be rotated about multiple axes and secured at various angles, transforming a static fixture into a dynamically adjustable system that adapts to different lighting requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The lighting fixture is divided into separable components including adjustable brackets, pivot plates, and light source holders. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted and positioned, providing flexibility while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that can be manufactured using standard parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If fixed positioning is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to provide targeted lighting solutions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to provide targeted lightingVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment mechanism allows the light sources to be dynamically repositioned to target specific areas or objects. The pivot plates enable rotation about multiple axes, allowing precise directional control of light beams while maintaining a relatively simple mechanical structure using standard fastening components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable bracket system serves multiple functions: it positions light sources at various angles, directs light beams to different targets, and accommodates different lighting configurations. This multi-functionality is achieved through a relatively simple universal mounting mechanism that can be adjusted rather than requiring multiple specialized fixed fixtures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
