Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If curved lamp arms or light guide plates are used to make the shape changeable, then the illumination shape is improved, but the device complexity increases and assembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is divided into separate modules: a light source module and a light guide element module. The light guide element can be detached from the light source module, allowing the illumination shape to be changed by replacing only the light guide element without replacing the entire device, thus reducing overall device complexity while maintaining shape versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The light source module is designed as a universal component that can work with different light guide elements. The fixing base with accommodating areas can hold various shapes of light guide elements, allowing one light source module to serve multiple illumination shapes by simply changing the light guide element, thereby reducing device complexity.
2Shape
If curved lamp arms or light guide plates are used to make the shape changeable, then the illumination shape is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to assembly difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the lighting device into detachable modules (light source module and light guide element), the assembly process becomes simpler. Users can easily attach and detach light guide elements to the fixing base without complex tools or procedures, improving ease of operation while maintaining shape changeability.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing base is designed with accommodating areas that allow dynamic attachment and detachment of light guide elements. This dynamic connection mechanism enables users to easily change the illumination shape by simply mounting or unmounting different light guide elements, significantly improving ease of operation.
3Shape
If the lamp is assembled with curved lamp arms or light guide plates, then the illumination shape is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to inability to disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is segmented into detachable components where the light guide element can be easily separated from the light source module. This segmentation allows users to disassemble the device for storage or transportation by simply removing the light guide element, improving ease of operation while preserving the illumination shape functionality when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing base incorporates a dynamic attachment mechanism with accommodating areas that allow easy mounting and unmounting of light guide elements. This dynamic design enables quick disassembly for storage or transportation and easy reassembly for use, directly addressing the ease of operation requirement while maintaining shape changeability.
