Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LED lamps struggle to meet anti-glare standards (UGR<19) in indoor lighting due to inefficient light utilization, glare, and difficulty in controlling illumination angles, while also causing color differences and blue light hazards.

Innovation Solution

A high-efficiency linear light source focused strip lamp with a condensing lens and convex lens array that reduces light emission angles, combined with a strip reflective portion to reuse light leakage, ensuring uniform illumination and maintaining efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a grid is added in front of the panel light to block light from large angles, then anti-glare performance is improved, but light utilization efficiency deteriorates (more than half of the power is lost)

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveglareVSAvoidlight utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical grid blocking system with an optical lens system (condensing lens and convex lens array) that redirects and focuses light. The condensing lens collects light from LED chips and the convex lens array redistributes it to create linear light source effects while controlling glare angles, achieving anti-glare performance without the light loss associated with physical grids.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the optical parameters of light distribution by using lenses with specific focal lengths and curvature radii. The condensing lens has a curvature radius of 0.5-2mm and the convex lens array has a curvature radius of 1-5mm, which transforms the light emission pattern from omnidirectional to controlled directional beams, reducing glare while maintaining light utilization efficiency above 80%.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If translucent material is used for the lamp cover to expand point light sources into surface light, then anti-glare performance is improved, but light utilization efficiency deteriorates (light emitted by the light source cannot be effectively used)

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveglareVSAvoidlight utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the translucent diffuser material approach with a precise optical lens system. Instead of scattering light through translucent material which wastes light, the condensing lens and convex lens array systematically redirect light rays to achieve the desired surface light effect with controlled distribution, maintaining high light utilization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Area of stationary object

If the illumination angle is increased to cover more area, then lighting coverage is improved, but anti-glare performance deteriorates (UGR requirement cannot be met)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting coverage areaVSAvoidglare
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lighting function into two distinct optical systems: the condensing lens for light collection and focusing, and the convex lens array for light redistribution and linear source creation. This segmentation allows independent optimization of coverage area and glare control, achieving both wide illumination coverage and compliance with UGR<19 anti-glare standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
