Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional LED light bulbs face manufacturing complexity and heat dissipation issues due to the arrangement of LED light sources within the bulb housing, leading to reduced production efficiency and shorter service life.

Innovation Solution

The LED light sources are directly arranged on the inner wall of the bulb housing, with a shielding member on the outer wall made of high thermal conductivity material to facilitate faster heat dissipation and simpler manufacturing, while a coarse construction on the inner wall enhances light diffusion and binding force.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If LED light sources are arranged within the bulb housing, then the appearance is widely accepted, but the heat dissipation is insufficient and manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipationVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the LED light sources from the interior of the bulb housing and relocates them to the outer surface of the bulb housing. This extraction resolves the heat dissipation problem by exposing the LED light sources to the external environment, allowing heat to dissipate more effectively without being trapped inside the housing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent inverts the conventional arrangement by placing LED light sources on the outer surface rather than inside the bulb housing. This inversion simultaneously improves heat dissipation (by exposing LEDs to external air flow) and simplifies manufacturing (by eliminating the need for internal mounting structures and complex assembly processes).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Duration of action of stationary object

If LED light sources are arranged within the bulb housing, then the appearance is widely accepted, but the service life is reduced due to persistent high temperature

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoidheat accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

By extracting LED light sources from the enclosed bulb housing environment and positioning them on the outer surface, the patent enables continuous heat dissipation to the surrounding air. This prevents heat accumulation that would otherwise occur in the confined internal space, thereby extending the service life of the LED components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Illumination intensity

If multiple LED light sources are used with equal intervals, then full-circumference lighting is achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting uniformityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple LED light sources into a unified arrangement on the outer surface of the bulb housing, positioned at equal intervals to achieve full-circumference lighting. This merging approach simplifies the overall structure by eliminating the need for complex internal mounting mechanisms while maintaining uniform illumination distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
