Adjustable Pool Light With Conical Collar Rotation Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing submersed lighting systems for pools and hot tubs are difficult to adjust in terms of luminance angle without disassembly, requiring users to handle powered components underwater and often lack precise directional control.
Innovation Solution
A directionally adjustable pool light design featuring a lamp assembly with a conical collar and rotating mechanism, allowing for precise angle adjustments without disassembly, using an adjusting screw and frame system that rotates the lamp assembly relative to the collar, enabling easy customization of luminance direction and color.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the light assembly is permanently installed in the pool wall, then the installation stability is improved, but the adjustability of luminance angle deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed, static light assembly into a dynamic system that allows rotation and adjustment. The light assembly is designed with a rotation mechanism that enables it to change its luminance angle while remaining installed in the pool wall. The adjusting screw and frame system allow the light assembly to rotate to different angles and maintain its position, providing both installation stability and adjustability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the light assembly is made adjustable with disassembly mechanisms, then the adjustability of luminance angle is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to difficult underwater disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the adjustment mechanism into separate functional components: an adjusting screw, a frame, and a light assembly body. The adjusting screw can be accessed through the collar without disassembling the entire light assembly, allowing users to adjust the luminance angle by simply rotating the screw. This segmented approach eliminates the need for difficult underwater disassembly while maintaining full adjustability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If threaded rods and clamping discs are used for adjustment, then the adjustability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by combining multiple functions into a simplified adjustment mechanism. Instead of using separate threaded rods and clamping discs, the invention integrates the adjustment function into a single adjusting screw that works in conjunction with a frame and conical portion. This merged system achieves the same adjustability with fewer components, reducing device complexity while maintaining full adjustability capability.

AI summary
A directionally adjustable pool light includes a lamp assembly having a body encircled by a collar. The collar includes a conical portion and the body partially defines a spherical space. The body has posts along an axis running centrally through the spherical space and is held against the conical portion by the posts. Rotating an adjusting screw accessible through the collar causes the body to rotate. A pivoting frame and adjustment nut couple the adjusting screw to the body, with the frame sliding relative to the body. LEDs are located substantially centrally in the spherical space, a trim cover is located over the collar, and a removable diffuser over the LEDs is surrounded by the collar.
