Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lamp units are mounted on a fixed platform, then the lighting structure is simple and stable, but the ability to direct light beams in various directions and orientations is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to direct light beams in various directionsVSAvoidplatform adjustability mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support platform is designed with adjustable mechanisms that allow it to change position and orientation dynamically. The platform can be rotated about a vertical axis and tilted at various angles, transforming a static mounting structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different lighting requirements while maintaining structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If lamp units are made individually adjustable, then lighting flexibility is improved, but the device complexity and number of components increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual lamp orientation controlVSAvoidadjustment mechanisms per lamp unit
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is divided into multiple independent lamp units, each capable of individual adjustment. Each lamp unit can be independently positioned and oriented on the support platform, allowing selective adjustment of specific lamps without affecting others, thereby achieving lighting flexibility while managing complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the platform is made selectively positionable, then lighting coverage and patterns are enhanced, but the ease of operation and setup becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform position variabilityVSAvoidplatform adjustment operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support platform incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms including rotation about a vertical axis and tilting capabilities. These mechanisms are designed to be manually operable, allowing users to easily reposition the platform to different orientations and angles to achieve desired lighting patterns without complex procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
