Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light adjusting devices are limited in producing diverse lighting effects and fail to fully utilize the effect wheel, which restricts their aesthetic appeal and marketability.

Innovation Solution

A light adjusting device with a moving mechanism that positions an effect wheel at various pausing positions to intercept and modify the light beam, achieving different effects such as shading, color toning, and light splitting by utilizing a combination of linear and swinging movements, and a rotation driving mechanism to enhance visual effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the effect wheel is used in traditional fixed position, then the device structure is simple, but the lighting effects are limited and the effect wheel cannot be fully utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effects diversityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The effect wheel is transformed from a fixed static component to a dynamic movable component. The moving mechanism enables the effect wheel to change its position dynamically, allowing different areas of the effect wheel to intercept the light beam at different pausing positions, thereby achieving diverse lighting effects without significantly complicating the overall device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The effect wheel is designed to perform multiple functions by positioning it at different locations. At the first pausing position, it creates no interception effect; at the second pausing position, it forms wheel rotation effects; at the third and fourth pausing positions, it creates vertical and horizontal stripe effects respectively. This multi-position design allows a single effect wheel to achieve multiple lighting effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the effect wheel is positioned to create multiple lighting effects, then the aesthetic appeal is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effects diversityVSAvoidmoving mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The moving mechanism integrates multiple functions into a unified system. It combines the effect of positioning the effect wheel at different pausing positions with the rotation function, allowing the effect wheel to be both moved and rotated by the same mechanism. This merging approach achieves diverse lighting effects while avoiding the need for separate mechanisms for each function, thus controlling device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention discloses a light adjusting device and a stage light with the light adjusting device. The light adjusting device includes an effect wheel provided with an effect area around a center and a moving mechanism driving the effect wheel to move among first, second, third and fourth pausing positions. When in the first pausing position, the effect area of the effect wheel is located outside the light beam. When in the second pausing position, a distance of the center of the effect wheel and a center of the light beam is less than or equal to one-half of a radius of the light beam. When in the third pausing position and when in the fourth pausing position, the center of the effect wheel is locate outside the light beam, and the effect area at least partially intercepts the light beam.
