Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cheering tools with light-emitting sources face challenges in shape replacement and increased weight, affecting portability and usability, especially in the context of evolving performance culture where versatile and lightweight options are needed.
Innovation Solution
A cheering tool structure featuring a light collection unit mounted on a smartphone or flash device, an extendable light delivery unit, and a radiation unit with replaceable shapes, allowing for the collection and radiation of light to produce various cheering effects, with components like a light collecting panel, mounting clamp, light delivery tube, and radiation unit with interchangeable shapes and designs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a light emitting source (LED or luminous light) is added to various shapes to create cheering tools, then the cheering tool can emit light, but the weight of the tool increases due to the light emitting source and battery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the light emitting function from a dedicated light source and separates it from the shape elements. Instead of embedding LEDs and batteries in each shape, the system uses an external smartphone flash as the light source, with light guides that channel this external light to the radiation units. This extraction eliminates the need for heavy batteries and light emitting diodes within each cheering tool component.
Solution Approach 2:
The smartphone's flash serves as a universal light source for multiple different radiation unit shapes. Rather than each shape requiring its own light emitting source, a single external light source (smartphone flash) can illuminate multiple interchangeable radiation units, making the light emitting function universal across all cheering tool configurations.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional cheering tools are designed with fixed shapes, then manufacturing is simple, but the shape cannot be easily replaced or changed
Solution Approach 1:
The cheering tool is segmented into separate functional components: a base unit with light collection and delivery mechanisms, and interchangeable radiation units with different shapes. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently using simple processes, while the modular design enables easy replacement of shapes without complex assembly or manufacturing changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from fixed, static shapes to a dynamic configuration where radiation units can be interchanged. The mounting structure incorporates movable or removable connections that allow users to dynamically change the shape configuration of the cheering tool by attaching different radiation units to the base, enabling adaptability without complicating the fundamental manufacturing approach.
3Ease of manufacture
If cheering tools have fixed phrases or names, then manufacturing is straightforward, but the cheering phrase cannot be easily changed to desired contents
Solution Approach 1:
The text or phrase elements are segmented into separate, interchangeable components (such as replaceable radiation units with different inscriptions or projections). This allows each phrase variation to be manufactured as a separate simple component that can be swapped, rather than requiring complex reconfiguration of a fixed structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of manufacturing different physical tools for different phrases, the system uses multiple copies of radiation units, each with a different phrase or design element. These copied components can be interchanged on the same base unit, providing phrase variability without requiring complex manufacturing processes for each variation.
