Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light source products face issues with direct bright lighting, uneven brightness, inadequate heat dissipation, and complex assembly processes, which affect their suitability for dual lighting functions and aesthetic appearance.
Innovation Solution
A light source structure comprising an outer diffusion cover, transparent plastic shell, and colored inner diffusion cover, with a heat sink housing a main and backlight source assembly, where the backlight source emits light towards the inner diffusion cover to create soft lighting, and the heat sink ensures even heat dissipation, while a simplified electrical connection system is used.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a two-layer cover structure is set for a main light source with a separate backlight source, then dual lighting functions are achieved, but the assembly process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the main light source assembly and backlight source assembly into a single integrated light source structure. The main light source and backlight source are mounted on the same circuit board and housed within a unified structure, eliminating the need for separate assemblies and reducing assembly complexity while maintaining dual lighting functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated light source structure serves multiple functions: it provides both main lighting and backlighting capabilities, acts as a unified heat dissipation system, and simplifies the overall assembly process. The single structure replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate components and assembly steps.
2Illumination intensity
If direct bright lighting is used, then illumination intensity is high, but the lighting becomes harsh and uneven
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a diffusion plate as an intermediary element between the light source and the environment. This diffusion plate scatters the direct light from both the main light source and backlight source, transforming harsh direct lighting into soft, uniform ambient lighting while maintaining high illumination intensity.
3Device complexity
If conventional heat dissipation methods are used, then heat management is simple, but heat dissipation effectiveness is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the heat dissipation function with the light source housing structure. The housing is designed with integrated heat dissipation features including ventilation openings and heat-conductive materials, combining structural support and thermal management into a single system that improves heat dissipation without adding separate complex heat sinks or cooling mechanisms.
