Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flame lamps have complex control circuits due to signal transmission wires connecting lamp beads to a main control chip, leading to wiring difficulties and limited flexibility in shaping, making them unsuitable for diverse design requirements.
Innovation Solution
A flame lamp design featuring a main control chip and flexible light strips with sub-control chips that simplify the control circuit by using a single signal transmission wire and allow for flexible shaping, enabling precise control of lighting elements to simulate a real flame effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If lamp beads are connected to the main control chip via signal transmission wires, then the control function is achieved, but the wiring complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the control system into a main control chip and multiple sub-control chips, where each sub-control chip controls a group of lamp beads. This segmentation reduces the wiring complexity by eliminating the need for individual signal transmission wires from the main control chip to each lamp bead, while still achieving comprehensive control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The sub-control chips act as intermediaries between the main control chip and the lamp beads. The main control chip communicates control signals to the sub-control chips, which then distribute these signals to the respective lamp beads, thereby simplifying the overall wiring structure while maintaining control capability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If lamp beads are fixed on a lamp board, then the structural stability is improved, but the flexibility in shaping is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the lighting system into modular sub-control chip units, each capable of independent control. This modular segmentation allows the flame lamp to be configured in various shapes and forms while maintaining structural stability through the fixed sub-control chip assemblies, thereby improving both stability and shaping flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic control of the lighting elements through the sub-control chips, allowing the flame lamp to simulate various flame shapes and movements. This dynamic control capability provides versatility in shaping and design while the physical structure remains stable through the fixed sub-control chip mounting.
