Solution Overview

Problem

Current auto detailing methods face challenges with insufficient illumination, leading to difficulty in detecting tiny defects and increased worker burden due to the limitations of natural light, indoor lights, upright lamps, and handheld lamps, which lack convenient angular adjustment and require manual manipulation.

Innovation Solution

A multipurpose illuminating device with a main body, control module, and lighting fixture that includes adjustable switches for controlling light intensity and a multi-angle bending assembly, allowing for easy adjustment and fixation to a vehicle or machine tool, providing sufficient brightness and convenience through adjustable light beams.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If indoor lights or upright lamps are used to improve illumination, then brightness is improved, but angular adjustment convenience and manual manipulation become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidangular adjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-angle bending assembly with multiple joints that allows the lighting assembly to be dynamically adjusted to various angles and positions. The assembly includes first, second, and third bending portions that can be independently angled, enabling the light to be directed precisely where needed while maintaining hands-free operation through magnetic attachment to the machine tool.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Illumination intensity

If handheld lamp is used to resolve illumination and angling, then brightness and angling are improved, but manual manipulation burden increases as one hand is occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidmanual manipulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting assembly attaches magnetically to the machine tool, allowing it to be positioned and secured without manual intervention during operation. The device serves itself by maintaining its position through magnetic attraction, freeing both of the worker's hands for operating the detailing machine tool while providing stable, hands-free illumination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Illumination intensity

If upright lamp is used to provide sufficient short-distance illumination, then brightness is improved, but angular adjustment and movement convenience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidangular adjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting assembly is divided into multiple segmented bending portions (first, second, and third bending portions) that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation allows each section to be angled separately, providing fine-grained control over the light direction and enabling convenient angular adjustment that a single rigid upright lamp cannot achieve.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A multipurpose illuminating device for auto detailing includes a main body, a control module and a lighting fixture. The main body has a fixed end and an illumination end oppositely disposed to each other, where the fixed end is used for fixedly connecting a machine tool or a platform. The control module, disposed at the main body, includes a first adjustment switch, a second adjustment switch and a third adjustment switch. The lighting fixture includes a multi-angle bending assembly and a lighting assembly. The multi-angle bending assembly is rotationally fixed to the illumination end. The lighting assembly is connected with the multi-angle bending assembly, and coupled electrically with the control module for controlling the light beams.
