Solution Overview

Problem

Decorative cylinder LED lamps require multiple light strips for adequate lighting, leading to dead angles, bulkiness, and poor uneven illumination, making them inconvenient to transport and use in various settings.

Innovation Solution

A portable mobile decorative cylinder LED lamp design featuring an aluminum tripod base with vase-shaped inserts for full-angle lighting, double-layer filters for even illumination, and counterweight blocks for ease of assembly and transport, along with effective heat dissipation through a triangular heat-conducting pin.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If more than three LED light strips are used to meet lighting needs, then lighting coverage is improved, but device complexity and material consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelighting coverageVSAvoidnumber of light strips

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp body is divided into multiple separable base connectors (first base connector, second base connector, etc.) that can be assembled in different configurations. This segmentation allows the same number of light strips to provide varied lighting coverage patterns, reducing the need to add more light strips for different lighting needs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each base connector is designed with universal functionality to support light strips in multiple orientations and positions. The base connectors can be assembled in different sequences and configurations, allowing the same light strips to serve multiple lighting coverage functions, thereby reducing the total number of light strips needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Stability of the object's composition

If a bulky and large size design is used for the decorative cylinder LED lamp, then structural stability is improved, but ease of transport and assembly deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of transport

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp is divided into multiple separable base connectors that can be disassembled for compact storage and transport. When assembled, they form a stable cylindrical structure; when disassembled, they occupy minimal space, resolving the contradiction between structural stability and ease of transport.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base connectors are designed to nest within each other when disassembled, similar to nested dolls. This nesting capability allows the components to be stored in a compact form factor while maintaining their full structural dimensions when assembled, thereby improving ease of transport without compromising structural stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Illumination intensity

If multiple LED light strips are arranged to provide sufficient lighting, then illumination intensity is improved, but uniformity of illumination deteriorates due to dead angles and bright spots

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelighting brightnessVSAvoiduniformity of illumination

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The base connectors are designed to be adjustable and reconfigurable, allowing the light strips to be positioned dynamically to eliminate dead angles. The modular structure enables flexible arrangement of light sources to achieve uniform illumination distribution, preventing both dead angles and excessive brightness in specific areas.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

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

The design provides comprehensive lighting without dead angles, enhances heat management, and allows for flexible use in multiple scenarios with reduced material consumption and improved durability.

Implementation Method 1

Through the design of the triangular fixing heat-conducting pin, the aluminum tripod base can absorb the heat of the light strips and transfer it to the top cover

Methodology Applied

Implementation Method 2

Both the inner pipe and the outer pipe adopt fine-quality and high-transmittance PC light. The combination of double-layer filters can provide even and soft beam with no glare

Methodology Applied

Scientific EffectLight filtering: Filter (optical)
