Solution Overview

Problem

Existing swimming pool sterilization devices lack aesthetic appeal and functional diversity, primarily relying on slow-release chlorine tablets without additional features for water purification, sterilization, and disinfection, which affects the pool's appearance and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A water purification, sterilization, and disinfection lamp incorporating a lampshade, base, and cylinder for slow-release chlorine tablets, equipped with a solar panel, circuit board, battery, and infrared remote control, allowing for floating operation, solar-powered lighting, and enhanced waterproofing, while maintaining the chlorine tablets' contact with water.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If only slow-release chlorine tablets are used for water purification, then the sterilization function is achieved, but the aesthetic appeal and functional diversity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional diversityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device integrates multiple functions into a single floating unit: the lampshade provides both lighting/aesthetic functions and houses the solar panel for power generation, the base contains the control circuitry and battery, and the cylinder delivers the sterilization function. This multi-functional integration resolves the contradiction by enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines previously separate functions (lighting, power generation, control, and sterilization) into a single integrated floating device. The lampshade merges aesthetic appearance with solar panel housing, while the base integrates electrical components. This merging approach achieves functional diversity while managing complexity through unified design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If additional functions like lighting and remote control are added, then aesthetic appeal and user experience are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic appealVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lampshade serves dual purposes: it provides the aesthetic lighting function while simultaneously housing the solar panel for power generation. The base integrates the control circuitry and battery management. This multi-functionality approach improves aesthetic appeal without adding separate dedicated components for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The solar panel provides self-powered operation for the lighting and control functions, eliminating the need for external power sources or manual charging. The infrared remote control enables wireless operation without additional wiring. These self-service features enhance aesthetic appeal while minimizing the complexity increase through autonomous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the device is made floatable with additional components, then it can operate on water surface, but waterproofing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefloating operation capabilityVSAvoidwaterproof performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into distinct sealed segments: the lampshade is sealed to house the solar panel and lighting components, the base is sealed to contain the circuit board and battery, and the cylinder is sealed except for controlled permeable areas. This segmentation allows each component to be independently waterproofed, maintaining reliability while enabling floating operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lampshade and base utilize sealed shell structures that provide waterproof protection while maintaining the floating capability. The cylindrical container uses sealed membranes or thin film barriers that prevent water ingress to electrical components while allowing the device to float. These flexible sealing approaches maintain reliability without compromising floating operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
