Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Candle lamps lack a unique visual effect similar to a glimmering flame and cannot imitate the burning of candles, providing a single and unsatisfactory lighting experience.
Innovation Solution
A candle lamp design featuring a hollow tubular lamp body with a water storage tank, isolation plate, and water spray pipe, where water is pumped and sprayed to create a fountain-like effect, illuminated by surrounding lamps to mimic a flame, with additional features like a subtransparent spray booth and paraffine decoration for enhanced visual realism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a traditional candle lamp with a bulb is used to provide lighting, then the lighting function is achieved, but the visual effect similar to a glimmering flame and the imitative burning effect are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the water spray system movable and adjustable. The water spray pipe can be adjusted to change the spray direction and water flow pattern, creating dynamic visual effects that simulate the flickering and movement of real candle flames, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining lighting function and achieving flame-like visual effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes physical parameters by controlling water flow rate, spray pressure, and illumination intensity independently. By adjusting these parameters, the system can create different visual effects ranging from subtle flicker to intense flame simulation, while maintaining adequate lighting, thus resolving the contradiction between lighting intensity and visual effect quality.
2Ease of manufacture
If water spray system is added to create flame-like visual effect, then the visual realism is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by designing components that serve multiple purposes. The water spray pipe not only creates the flame visual effect but can also be adjusted to control water distribution. The illumination system both lights up the water spray to create visual effects and provides functional lighting, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high visual realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses water as an intermediary medium that bridges the gap between simple bulb illumination and complex flame simulation. The water spray acts as a visual mediator that, when illuminated, creates the flame-like appearance without requiring complex mechanical or optical systems, thus improving visual effect quality while limiting structure complexity growth.
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple illuminating lamps are distributed around the water spray pipe to illuminate the water column, then the visual effect similar to rolling blaze is achieved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by distributing illuminating lamps at specific locations around the water spray pipe rather than using uniform illumination. This targeted placement ensures that light interacts with the water spray at critical points to maximize flame-like visual effects, achieving high visual quality with a limited number of lamps, thus resolving the contradiction between visual effect quality and component quantity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design achieves a visual effect similar to a rolling blaze, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the candle lamp and providing a more immersive and realistic burning experience.
Implementation Method 1
a water pump is arranged in the water chamber, and a water outlet of the water pump is communicated with the water spray pipe
Implementation Method 2
After being sprayed out from the water spray pipe, the water falls down under the action of gravity
Implementation Method 3
the first illuminating lamps distributed around the water spray pipe... the light emitted by the first illuminating lamps illuminates the water column sprayed by the water spray pipe

AI summary
The invention discloses a candle lamp which comprises a hollow tubular lamp body, a water storage tank arranged in the lamp body, and an isolation plate arranged in the water storage tank, wherein the isolation plate is arranged thereon with a water spray pipe and the first illuminating lamps distributed around the water spray pipe; a water pump communicated with the water spray pipe is arranged in the water chamber; and the lamp body is subtransparent. When the water pump draws water out from the water chamber, the water is sprayed out from the water spray pipe to form a fountain, and the light of the first illuminating lamps illuminates the water column to achieve visual effect being similar to the glimmering flame, which imitate the burning candles and improve the visual art of the candle lamp.
