Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional floodlights use a streamlined structure with single fixing method, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability and versatility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage modesVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The floodlight is designed with dual fixing methods (magnetic suction and screw fixation) and multiple usage modes (standing, laying flat, elevating), allowing the same device to serve multiple functions and adapt to different scenarios, thereby resolving the contradiction between versatility and structural simplicity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The floodlight incorporates an adjustable angle mechanism through articulation pieces, enabling dynamic repositioning and angle adjustment. This dynamic capability allows the device to adapt to various lighting angles and positions without requiring multiple fixed-structure variants, balancing versatility with manageable complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional floodlights are designed for indoor use only, then the design is simple, but the application scope is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scenariosVSAvoidfixing methods
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating both magnetic suction and screw fixation methods into a single device, the floodlight can be universally applied to both indoor and outdoor scenarios. The magnetic suction allows for quick indoor placement on metal surfaces, while screw fixation provides stable outdoor mounting, eliminating the need for scenario-specific design variants

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If the floodlight uses adjustable angle through articulation piece, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle adjustmentVSAvoidarticulation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The articulation mechanism is divided into modular articulation pieces that connect different segments of the floodlight. This segmentation allows for independent adjustment of each segment while maintaining overall structural integrity, making the adjustment mechanism more manageable and easier to manufacture despite the added versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A foldable double-sided light-emitting floodlight, involving the technical field of lamps. The floodlight comprises two lamps, the bottom of which are movably hinged via articulation piece, and the angle between the two lamps can be adjusted through articulation piece; the top of lamps is provided with handles for carrying lamps, inside one of the handles movably provided with a hook for hanging lamp; LED floodlight panels are arranged inside the lamp; the articulation piece includes hinged seats provided at the bottom of two lamps respectively and rotating shaft running through two hinged seats. Compared with floodlights with single use on market, articulation piece can adjust the angle between two lamps, so that it has a variety of using ways of standing, laid flat, elevating and laid flat, magnetic suction, hanging, and can be matched with camera frame to cope with uses in different scenarios.
