Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If existing light emitting decorative hanging products are used, then lighting effect is achieved, but volume is large making transportation and storage inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The decorative lamp is divided into multiple detachable components including hanging decorative component, connecting component with light strings, and decorative component. This segmentation allows each part to be folded or compacted separately, significantly reducing overall volume for storage and transportation while maintaining the complete lighting effect when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting component is designed as a flexible component that can bend and fold, transforming the rigid structure into a dynamic one. This flexibility enables the light strings and connecting parts to be compacted into a smaller form factor for storage, while expanding to full size during use to maintain the decorative lighting effect.
2Shape
If existing light emitting decorative hanging products are used, then lighting effect is achieved, but structure is bulky and non-foldable
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the decorative lamp into modular components (hanging decorative component, connecting component, decorative component), each segment can be independently designed with foldable characteristics. The light strings are segmented into multiple sections that can bend and fold, enabling the entire structure to be compacted without excessive complexity in any single component.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting component utilizes flexible material design that allows the light string assembly to bend and fold repeatedly without damage. This flexibility is achieved through choosing appropriate materials and structural configurations that maintain integrity while enabling compact folding, thus improving shape adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Ease of operation
If detachable design is implemented, then transportation convenience is improved, but connection reliability may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable design segments the decorative lamp into components that can be easily separated for transportation. Each component features standardized connection interfaces that ensure reliable reassembly. The hanging decorative component connects to the connecting component, which in turn connects to the decorative component, with each interface designed for both ease of detachment and secure reconnection.
Solution Approach 2:
While maintaining detachability for transportation convenience, the connection interfaces are designed to merge components securely when assembled. The connecting component serves as a bridge that reliably connects the hanging decorative component and the decorative component, ensuring that the detached state for transport does not compromise the reliability of the assembled state during use.

AI summary
A decorative lamp includes: a hanging decorative component for hanging the decorative lamp in the air; a connecting component connected to the hanging decorative component, the connecting component being a flexible component; and a decorative component connected to the connecting component. At least one of the hanging decorative component, the connecting component, and the decorative component is provided with light emitting units for emitting light. By configuring the connecting component as a flexible component, the connecting component, the hanging decorative component and the decorative component can be folded together during transportation, so as to effectively reduce volume, facilitate transportation, and reduce transportation costs. Moreover, when the light emitting units are emitting light, a lighting effect can be achieved.
