Solution Overview

Problem

Smart lamp products face challenges with high costs and complex maintenance due to internal controllers, multiple control circuits, and lengthy wires, which complicate operations and increase costs.

Innovation Solution

An independent and separate control circuit using two control chips and transistors to separately control bright white and warm white light-emitting circuits, reducing circuit complexity and costs while enabling grouped control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the controller is arranged inside the lamp, then the control function is integrated, but when the controller breaks down, the whole lamp has to be changed because it is inconvenient to change and maintain the controller separately, leading to a higher cost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveEase of maintenanceVSAvoidController integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit is segmented from the lamp body into separate modules. The control circuit board can be independently removed and replaced without changing the entire lamp, enabling separate maintenance of the controller while keeping the lamp body intact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The controller is extracted from the internal structure of the lamp and placed on a separate control circuit board that can be independently accessed. This allows the controller to be taken out for maintenance or replacement without disassembling the entire lamp assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If several separate control circuits are configured to realize control of the lamp, then different portions of the lamp can be controlled separately, but because the controller is arranged outside the lamp, there will be many wires between a lamp body and the controller, and the wires are relatively long, leading to an increase in cost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSeparate control capabilityVSAvoidWire complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple separate control circuits are merged into a single integrated control circuit board that can control different lamp portions through internal circuit routing. This consolidation reduces the number of external wires needed while maintaining the separate control capability for different lamp sections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The control circuit board is designed with multi-functional capabilities to control multiple lamp portions (upward light, downward light, different color temperatures) through a single unified interface, eliminating the need for separate control circuits and reducing wire complexity.

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