Innovation Solution
An illumination device with a bottom base, light-guiding frame, lower and upper mirrors, and interruption elements that guide and reflect light in two stages to produce an infinite mirroring effect, utilizing a bottom base with LEDs, a light-guiding frame, lower and upper mirrors, and interruption elements to achieve a layered and gradient lighting effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If traditional LED lamps are used to illuminate, then brightness and color can be adjusted, but unique layered lighting effects with gradient and depth cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The illumination device is segmented into multiple functional layers: a light source layer with LEDs, a light-guiding layer with frames and rings, a reflection layer with upper and lower mirrors, and an interruption layer with hollow elements. Each layer performs a specific function to collectively create the infinite mirroring effect with gradient and depth.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional single-dimension LED illumination to multi-dimensional lighting effects by introducing vertical layering with upper and lower mirrors that reflect light in multiple directions, creating three-dimensional visual depth and gradient effects that cannot be achieved with conventional planar LED arrangements.
2Illumination intensity
If more LEDs are used to create unique lighting effects, then lighting aesthetic can be improved, but power consumption and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses mirrors to create optical copies of the light source, generating multiple virtual images of the LEDs through reflection. This allows the system to produce complex layered lighting effects with gradient and depth using a minimal number of actual LEDs, rather than requiring numerous physical light sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-guiding frame and ring structures serve multiple functions simultaneously: they guide light from the LEDs, support the mirror assemblies, create structural integrity, and contribute to the overall aesthetic design. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components that would increase power consumption and cost.
3Ease of operation
If simple brightness and color changes are used, then LED advantages can be utilized, but visual appeal and uniqueness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates dynamic control capabilities that allow the lighting system to transition between different operational modes: static illumination mode for energy saving, and dynamic infinite mirroring mode for visual appeal. The system can dynamically adjust brightness, color, and mirroring effects based on environmental conditions and user preferences, maintaining simplicity while enhancing visual appeal.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device achieves a unique, dazzling lighting effect with gradient and endlessly-changing depth, enhancing visual beauty and practicality, making it more competitive in the market and suitable for various applications.
Implementation Method 1
uses upper and lower mirrors to repeatedly reflect the light back and forth, thereby producing the unique and dazzle lighting effect for infinite mirroring
Implementation Method 2
Each light-guiding portion has a light-received surface. The light-guiding portions guide the first light source of the first lighting elements to pass through light-guiding scatter paths of the light-received surface
Implementation Method 3
The reflection light source incident on the light-guiding ring uniformly scatters to the light-guiding surface to form a ring-shaped light source
Data Source
AI summary
An illumination device for infinite mirroring, has a lighting module. A light-guiding frame guides a first light source of the lighting module to form light-guiding light source. The lower mirror reflects the light-guiding light source to form a reflection light source reflecting mirror images. The light-guiding ring has a light-guiding surface. The reflection light source incident on the light-guiding ring uniformly scatters to the light-guiding surface to form a ring-shaped light source. The lower mirror uses a first hollow interruption element to interrupt a part of the reflection light source to form a spaced layered light source. The upper mirror simultaneously reflects the ring-shaped light source and the spaced layered light source and uses the second hollow interruption element in the hollow cover to interrupt the ring-shaped light source to form a multilayered mirroring light ring.
