Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wake-up lamps emit too dazzling and uncomfortable light, limiting their practicability in improving sleep quality.
Innovation Solution
An annular housing design with a light-emitting component, including a light bar that emits light towards a lampshade, controlled by a main control board and timing component, providing a uniform and soft light environment to wake users comfortably.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If conventional external light-emitting design is used, then the wake-up lamp can provide illumination, but the light is too dazzling and uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the light emission by using multiple light bars arranged in an annular housing, with each light bar emitting light toward the lampshade. This segmentation allows the light to be distributed uniformly rather than concentrated in one direction, reducing dazzling effects while maintaining adequate illumination intensity for waking users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the lampshade as an intermediary element between the light source and the user. The light bars emit light toward the lampshade, which then diffuses the light to create a soft, uniform illumination. This intermediary structure transforms the direct, dazzling light into comfortable, indirect lighting that effectively wakes users without causing discomfort.
2Ease of operation
If direct light irradiation is used, then the wake-up function is achieved, but user comfort is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by directing light from each light bar toward the lampshade rather than directly at the user. Each light bar creates a localized illumination zone that contributes to the overall soft, uniform light environment. This localized approach maintains wake-up effectiveness while eliminating the harmful direct light exposure to users.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If uniform light distribution is achieved, then user comfort is improved, but light intensity may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple light bars arranged in an annular configuration, all emitting light toward the lampshade. By combining the output of multiple light sources through the common intermediary of the lampshade, the system achieves both uniform distribution and sufficient total light intensity. The merged light creates a comprehensive soft illumination that is both comfortable and effective for the wake-up function.
