Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a power strip is designed with additional functions (such as integrated lighting), then versatility and user convenience are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power strip base and lamp into a single integrated device, where the power strip base includes an outer housing that houses both the plug-in module and connects to the foldable arm supporting the light-emitting module. This merging of functions into one device improves versatility while managing complexity through integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp portion is divided into separable components including the foldable supporting frame and rotating disc, allowing the lamp to be folded or rotated independently from the power strip base. This segmentation enables the additional lighting function to be added without permanently increasing the complexity of the base power strip structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a lamp is made foldable with adjustable arms, then adaptability to different lighting positions is improved, but device complexity and potential reliability issues increase
Solution Approach 1:
The foldable supporting frame and rotating disc create a dynamic structure that allows the lamp to be adjusted to different positions and angles. The hinge connections enable movement while maintaining structural integrity, providing adaptability without compromising reliability when properly designed.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge connections and rotating disc are pre-designed with built-in positioning mechanisms that automatically stabilize the lamp at desired angles. This preliminary design of stable connection points ensures that the adjustable structure maintains reliability once positioned, reducing the risk of connection failures during use.
