Solution Overview

Problem

Existing eyeglasses with detachable auxiliary lenses face limitations in providing diversity and suffer from damage due to friction between the main and auxiliary lenses during attachment.

Innovation Solution

Eyeglasses with selectively detachable pattern layers featuring magnetically transparent films and buried magnets on the main and auxiliary lenses, allowing for the attachment and detachment of pattern layers with various images, which reduces friction and enables the lenses to be used for different purposes and expressions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If auxiliary lenses are detachably attached to main lenses using magnetic forces, then the eyeglasses can provide diversity and adaptability for different situations, but the main lenses and auxiliary lenses may come into contact and cause friction damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediversity of useVSAvoidfriction damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A support structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the main lens and auxiliary lens. This support prevents direct contact between the lenses while still allowing the auxiliary lens to be detachably attached via magnetic forces, thus eliminating friction damage while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The auxiliary lens assembly is segmented into two functional parts: the auxiliary lens itself and the support structure. This segmentation allows the support to bear the mechanical contact and magnetic attachment forces, while the auxiliary lens remains separated and protected from friction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple auxiliary lenses are prepared for different purposes, then the eyeglasses can satisfy various needs, but the weight and complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariety of functionsVSAvoidweight of eyeglasses
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is designed as a universal component that can accommodate multiple different auxiliary lenses through the same magnetic attachment mechanism. This allows one support to serve multiple functions by holding different lenses for different purposes, avoiding the need for multiple separate attachment mechanisms and reducing overall weight

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

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution provides wearers with convenient and diverse use options, allowing for quick expression of individuality and situational needs, while preventing damage to the lenses by minimizing contact between them, and ensuring stability by allowing selective detachment of auxiliary lenses when needed.

Implementation Method 1

magnetically transparent films and buried magnets formed on the corresponding surfaces of the main lenses and the auxiliary lenses so that the auxiliary lenses are detachably attached to the main lenses
