Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle lighting systems require separate energy sources or electric wires for operation, which can be inconvenient and occupy additional space, especially when users need to work overnight in vehicles.

Innovation Solution

A detachable light system with a rechargeable battery that can be wirelessly charged and attached/detached from the vehicle, serving as both a headlight/tail light and a standalone lantern, featuring a magnetic locking mechanism and adjustable auxiliary lights for versatility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If a separate light source is prepared with electric wire connection, then the light source can be powered, but additional space and complexity are required for wires and connections

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveenergy supply to light sourceVSAvoidelectric wire and connection structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery is extracted from the vehicle's fixed lighting system and placed inside the detachable light unit itself. This allows the light source to be self-powered without requiring external electric wires or connections to the vehicle, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining energy supply capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The detachable light is designed to function both as a vehicle-mounted light and as a standalone portable light source. The integrated battery provides universal energy supply for both modes of operation, eliminating the need for separate power connection mechanisms and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a rechargeable light source is used, then energy independence is achieved, but charging inconvenience and time loss occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveenergy independence of light sourceVSAvoidcharging time and preparation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The battery is pre-installed and pre-integrated into the detachable light unit during manufacturing. This preliminary action ensures that the light source is ready for immediate use upon attachment to the vehicle or removal for portable use, eliminating the need for users to perform separate charging preparation or assembly operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the light source is integrated into the vehicle, then stable power supply is achieved, but the light cannot be used independently when detached

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower supply stabilityVSAvoidindependent operation capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is segmented into a detachable light unit with integrated battery and the vehicle body. This segmentation allows the light unit to operate independently when detached while maintaining reliable power supply when attached, thereby achieving both reliability and adaptability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detachable light unit is designed with universal functionality to operate in two modes: mounted on the vehicle for stable power supply and detached for independent portable use. The integrated battery enables the unit to maintain reliability in both configurations, eliminating the trade-off between stability and versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Adaptability or versatility

If separate light sources are prepared for different functions, then functional versatility is achieved, but space consumption and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelighting function varietyVSAvoidspace occupied by light sources and accessories

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable light unit incorporates multiple lighting functions (headlight, tail light, auxiliary lights) within a single integrated device. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple separate light sources and accessories, thereby achieving functional versatility while reducing the total space occupied and lowering device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
