Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ornamental lamps with magnetic wind wheel mechanisms suffer from high motor rotation noise, short service life, and uncontrollable sealing issues, which affect the flow and visibility of liquid and objects within the lamp.

Innovation Solution

An ornamental lamp design featuring a transparent or semitransparent lamp body with a water pump system, where a water inlet and outlet are integrated into the lamp body, and a sound generator is used to enhance the user experience, while the water pump is positioned within an accommodating cavity to ensure IP68 waterproofing and reduced noise.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-generated harmful factors

If a magnetic wind wheel mechanism is used to drive water flow, then the water flow function is achieved, but the motor rotation noise increases and service life decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor rotation noiseVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the magnetic wind wheel mechanism from the lamp system. Instead of using a motor-driven wind wheel to rotate water, the invention uses a static water pump to create water flow. This extraction of the problematic rotating mechanism eliminates motor rotation noise and extends service life by removing the wear-prone magnetic coupling components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical magnetic wind wheel rotation system with a water pump-based fluid circulation system. The water pump uses electromagnetic or other non-mechanical rotation methods to drive water flow without requiring magnetic couplings and rotating seals, thereby reducing noise and improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If a magnetic wind wheel mechanism is used to drive water flow, then the water flow function is achieved, but sealing controllability becomes uncontrollable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesealing controllabilityVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the magnetic wind wheel mechanism that caused sealing issues. By replacing it with a water pump system, the invention eliminates the need for magnetic couplings and rotating seals that were difficult to control and maintain, thereby improving sealing controllability and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention substitutes the mechanical magnetic coupling system with a water pump system that uses different sealing mechanisms (such as mechanical seals or magnetic seals without rotating components), providing better sealing controllability and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Illumination intensity

If the lamp body is made transparent or semitransparent for visibility, then ornamental objects are visible, but water pump sealing becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of ornamental objectsVSAvoidwater pump sealing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical sealing systems with modern water pump technologies that offer improved sealing solutions. These may include magnetic seals, electronic seals, or advanced mechanical seal designs that can be integrated into transparent or semitransparent lamp bodies without compromising visibility or sealing performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
