Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional LED lighting configurations suffer from glare issues and inefficient heat dissipation, limiting their effectiveness and making high-powered LEDs impractical due to inadequate shielding and light distribution.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates a shade module with specifically positioned shades and a lens module to direct light outward, using a cup-shaped structure with heat sinks and a rotating ring to manage glare and enhance light distribution, while the shade module's axial height is calculated to obstruct stray light effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If LED light source is located at the center of a reflector with light emission directed outward, then the lighting coverage is improved, but glare increases and beam angle becomes too wide

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting coverage areaVSAvoidglare
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the lighting system into multiple LED modules arranged in a specific geometric configuration rather than using a single central LED. This segmentation allows each module to contribute to overall coverage while individual modules can be positioned to avoid direct line-of-sight glare paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional planar reflector configuration to a three-dimensional spatial arrangement of multiple LED modules at different heights and positions. This dimensional change enables better control over light distribution patterns and glare reduction by utilizing vertical space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Power

If multiple LEDs are used with light emissions directed outward from reflectors, then lighting intensity is improved, but heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting intensityVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the high-powered LED system into multiple lower-powered modules distributed in space, which improves heat dissipation by increasing surface area and reducing thermal concentration, while maintaining overall lighting intensity through combined output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes three-dimensional spatial distribution of LED modules to improve heat dissipation by allowing heat to dissipate in multiple directions rather than being confined to a single plane, thereby maintaining lighting intensity without excessive heat accumulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional halogen apparatus uses a metal shield in the line sight, then glare prevention is attempted, but light dispersion efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveglare preventionVSAvoidlight dispersion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses specially designed reflectors and optical elements as intermediaries to redirect and distribute light from multiple LED modules, achieving glare prevention through controlled reflection paths rather than direct blocking, thereby maintaining light dispersion efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A LED lamp includes a number of lenses each of which includes a light emitting surface and a plurality of shades mounted on the light emitting surface. Each of the shades includes a hole whose sectional area in radial direction is equal to that of the light emitting surface. An axial height of the hole follows the formulaHφ=ϕ⁢maxtan⁢⁢θmax,wherein Hφ is the axial height of the hole, φmax is a diameter value of the light emitting surface, and θmax is an output angle of the lens. Accordingly, a work area of the anti-glare LED lamp can be extend the most thereof since the shades block the stray light of a glare area of the LED lamp and strictly separates the work area from the glare area, and no stray light shot into eye in any areas. Therefore, the anti-glare LED lamp can achieve light distribution as designed without glare under cooperation of the lenses and the shades.
