Solution Overview

Problem

Current lamps lack the ability to adjust lighting direction, leading to inefficiencies and waste due to the need for reinstallation or relocation, which is time-consuming and costly.

Innovation Solution

An angle-adjustable lamp design featuring a fixing socket with a 'J'-shaped protrusion, a rotating ring with an 'L'-shape, and a fixing ring with 'J'-shape, allowing the lamp body to rotate and adjust angles, while limits prevent the lamp from falling or rotating out, enhancing stability and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp body is fixedly arranged on the fixing socket, then the lamp structure is simple and stable, but the lighting direction cannot be changed, leading to waste when relocation is needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting direction adjustmentVSAvoidlamp structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed lamp structure into a movable one. The lamp body is connected to the fixing socket through a rotating mechanism that includes a rotating ring with limits, allowing the lamp to rotate and adjust its lighting direction dynamically while maintaining structural stability through the limit constraints

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the fixing socket is relocated to change lighting area, then the lighting coverage is improved, but time and effort are wasted and the lamp may be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting area coverageVSAvoidrelocation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of relocating the entire fixing socket, the patent enables the lamp body to rotate dynamically within the socket through the rotating ring mechanism. This allows the lighting area to be adjusted by rotating the lamp body to different angles, eliminating the need for time-consuming relocation while maintaining full lighting coverage capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the lamp body is fixedly arranged, then the installation is simple and stable, but reinstallation is costly and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidreinstallation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains installation simplicity by keeping the overall fixing socket structure straightforward while adding a rotating mechanism. The lamp body can be easily rotated to different positions without complex procedures, and the limit mechanism ensures stable operation, reducing both installation and reinstallation costs by eliminating the need for complete reinstallation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If the lamp structure is made adjustable, then the lighting flexibility is improved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting flexibilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the lamp system into distinct functional components: the fixing socket, the rotating ring with limits, and the lamp body. This modular segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, achieving lighting flexibility through the rotating mechanism while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustability through the rotating ring mechanism that connects the lamp body to the fixing socket. This dynamic element allows the lamp to rotate and adjust its lighting direction flexibly, while the limit mechanism ensures the rotation is constrained within safe boundaries, achieving lighting flexibility without requiring overly complex structural designs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The invention provides an angle-adjustable lamp and relates to the technical field of lighting. An angle-adjustable lamp comprises a fixing socket which is provided with a lamp hole, a rotating ring which rotates inside the protrusion of the outer edge of lamp hole, a fixing ring reversely sleeved on the protrusion and the lamp body connected to the rotating ring through two protrusions; by arranging the annular protrusion in the rim of the lamp hole and embedding rotating ring inside the protrusion, the rotation of the rotating ring along the center of lamp hole is ensured, and the limitation of rotation angle of lamp is extended; by arranging the annular fixing ring in the protrusion, raising and falling motion of rotating ring can be prevented effectively, therefore, the rotation process becomes more smooth.
