Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lamps lack customization options for light color, shape, and field, requiring multiple products and extensive preparation, limiting user satisfaction with purchased lighting effects.
Innovation Solution
A lamp design featuring a detachable decorating unit with interchangeable lens members and securing units, allowing users to modify light wavelength, angle, and field by swapping decorating members, which can include color filters and microstructures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manufacturers provide a wide variety of lamps with different LEDs and lenses for consumers to choose from, then consumers can select lamps according to different occasions, but the amount of time and resources spent in preparation and assembly increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp is divided into modular components: a base unit with light emitting module and lens member, and separate decorating units with different color filters and microstructures. Users can combine the base unit with different decorating units to achieve various lighting effects without manufacturing entirely different lamp products.
Solution Approach 2:
The base unit is designed with universal compatibility to work with multiple types of decorating units. The lens member includes a through hole that can accommodate different decorating units with various color filters and microstructures, allowing one base unit to perform multiple lighting functions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manufacturers create myriad combinations of LEDs and lenses to meet different lighting demands, then consumers have more choices, but the time and resources required for production and assembly become unworthwhile
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the lamp into a standardized base unit and interchangeable decorating units, the invention reduces production complexity. Instead of manufacturing numerous complete lamp variants, manufacturers produce one base unit type and multiple affordable decorating unit attachments.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the approach from varying fundamental components (LEDs, lenses) to varying optional accessories (color filters, microstructures). This parameter change allows lighting effect customization through adding modular components rather than redesigning core products.
3Adaptability or versatility
If consumers purchase multiple lamps to achieve different lighting effects, then their lighting needs are met, but the cost and resource expenditure increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base unit is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple decorating units with different color filters and microstructures. This allows a single lamp purchase to provide multiple lighting effects, eliminating the need to buy separate lamps for different occasions.
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp system transitions from static (fixed lighting effect) to dynamic (changeable lighting effect). Users can dynamically switch between different decorating units attached to the same base unit, allowing one lamp to adapt to different lighting needs over time.
4Ease of operation
If consumers are left with no option but to purchase another lamp when desired lighting effect is not achieved, then product selection is limited, but consumer satisfaction decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The separating of the lamp into base unit and decorating units allows consumers to easily adjust lighting effects by simply changing the decorating unit attachment. This modular approach makes lighting effect adjustment more convenient than purchasing entirely new lamps.
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
Enables users to customize lighting effects without replacing lamps, providing a wide range of options for achieving desired lighting outcomes through modular design, enhancing user satisfaction and reducing resource expenditure.
Implementation Method 1
Light emitted from the light emitting module enters the lens member through the light input surface and exits the lens member through the light output surface
Implementation Method 2
Light emitted from the light emitting module enters the lens member through the light input surface and exits the lens member through the light output surface

AI summary
A lamp includes a base, a light emitting module mounted to the base, a lens member and a decorating unit. The lens member has a light input surface, a light output surface disposed in front of and spaced apart from the light input surface along an axis, and a through hole extending through the light input surface and the light output surface. Light emitted from the light emitting module enters the lens member through the light input surface and exits the lens member through the light output surface. The decorating unit is detachable and is optically disposed for decorating the lamp or for changing at least one of a wavelength, an output angle, a light field and so forth of the light passing through the lens member.
