Solution Overview

Problem

Existing full spectrum plant illumination lamps with blue, purple, and red lamps suffer from poor light penetrability, leading to uneven plant growth, where the upper layer thrives while the middle and lower layers under the leaves do not, resulting in poor growth and low fruit yield.

Innovation Solution

A full spectrum LED plant illumination lamp with a lens structure, featuring a shell with integrated LED cells and lenses, where each LED cell emits full spectrum light, and the lenses are fixed on the shell surface, enhancing light penetrability and using a cellular structure to ensure even growth.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If multiple blue, purple, and red lamps are used to simulate full spectrum light, then the illumination can support plant growth, but the light penetrability is poor causing uneven growth between upper and lower plant layers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefull spectrum light outputVSAvoidlight penetrability
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The illumination system is divided into multiple independent LED modules, each emitting full spectrum light. This segmentation allows the light to be distributed in a way that improves penetrability through plant canopies while maintaining full spectrum benefits for photosynthesis at different levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the spectral parameters by using full spectrum LEDs that emit across the entire visible range (380-780nm) rather than narrow-band LEDs. This parameter change enables better light penetration through plant leaves while still providing the necessary wavelengths for photosynthesis, resolving the contradiction between illumination intensity and penetrability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by moving object

If narrow-band LEDs (blue, purple, red) are used to target specific photosynthesis wavelengths, then energy efficiency is improved, but light penetrability deteriorates leading to poor growth in lower plant layers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidlight penetrability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the spectral parameter from narrow-band to full spectrum emission, expanding the wavelength range from selective bands to the complete visible spectrum (380-780nm). This parameter change maintains energy efficiency while dramatically improving light penetrability through plant canopies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The full spectrum LED serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides all necessary wavelengths for photosynthesis (replacing multiple narrow-band LEDs), improves light penetration through plant layers, and maintains energy efficiency. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between energy efficiency and penetrability.

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

AI summary

A full spectrum LED grow light with a lens structure includes a shell. The shell is connected to an electric wire and configured with a full spectrum LED unit. The full spectrum LED unit includes LED cells and lenses covering the LED cells. Each of the LED cells can emit full spectrum light. The LED cells are fixed on an aluminum substrate which is electrically connected to the electric wire and fixed inside the shell. The lenses are fixed on the surface of the shell and each lens is configured with at least one LED cell. By combining the LED cells with the lenses, where a single LED cell can emit full spectrum light, the penetrability of light is increased. Thus, not only the upper layer of plant can grow well, but also the middle and lower layers of plant covered by the leaves of the upper layer can grow well.
