Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a separate monitoring system is mounted additionally, then safety surveillance function is provided, but aesthetic quality deteriorates and cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesafety surveillance functionVSAvoidaesthetic quality

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the surveillance function with the ground insert lamp by integrating a camera device and signal transmission network into the lamp structure. The lamp body serves dual purposes: illumination and surveillance monitoring, eliminating the need for separate monitoring equipment and maintaining aesthetic quality while providing safety surveillance

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The ground insert lamp is designed as a multifunctional device that simultaneously provides illumination and surveillance capabilities. The lamp body, signal transmission network, and camera device work together to enable the single device to perform multiple functions: lighting, monitoring, and alarm signaling

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If a separate monitoring system is mounted additionally, then safety surveillance function is provided, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesafety surveillance functionVSAvoidcost

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines surveillance components (camera device, signal transmission network) with the ground insert lamp structure, eliminating the need for separate monitoring system purchases and installations. This integration reduces overall system cost while maintaining surveillance functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The multifunctional ground insert lamp reduces total system cost by providing both illumination and surveillance in a single device, eliminating the need to purchase and install separate monitoring equipment

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If a separate monitoring system is mounted additionally, then safety surveillance function is provided, but wiring work becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesafety surveillance functionVSAvoidwiring work

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the camera device and signal transmission network within the ground insert lamp structure, using the lamp's existing power and signal connections. This eliminates the need for separate wiring for monitoring equipment, simplifying installation while maintaining surveillance capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Illumination intensity

If the lamp body operates at 100% rated power during alarm, then alarm visibility is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvealarm visibilityVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp body operates at high intensity (100% rated power) only during alarm conditions when visibility is critical, and at low intensity (30% rated power) during normal nighttime operation for ambient lighting. This periodic variation in power output ensures alarm effectiveness while minimizing overall energy consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action
