Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current LED light devices lack the ability to efficiently create persistent vision effects for message, time, and color displays while also incorporating air-related functions such as air flow, fragrance, and essential oil diffusion, and they often require multiple power sources and complex control systems.
Innovation Solution
The development of a plug-in LED light device that utilizes a rotating LED array on a flexible PCB with a spin mechanism, powered by various sources including AC and DC power, and incorporates sensors, timers, and wireless control systems to create persistent vision effects and air-related functions, such as air flow and fragrance diffusion, using a combination of motors, gears, and sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple power sources and complex control systems are incorporated into LED light devices to achieve air-related functions, then the functionality and versatility are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (lighting, air flow, fragrance diffusion, essential oil diffusion) into a single integrated LED light device. The housing contains both LED light sources and air-related components (fan, fragrance reservoir, essential oil reservoir) that work together as one unified system, reducing the need for separate devices and simplifying overall system complexity while maintaining high versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The LED light device is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: providing illumination through LEDs, generating air flow through an integrated fan, diffusing fragrance through a fragrance reservoir, and diffusing essential oils through an essential oil reservoir. This multi-functional design allows a single device to replace multiple separate devices, improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Use of energy by moving object
If rapid LED cycling is used to create persistent vision effects, then power consumption is reduced, but the control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements rapid cycling of LED light sources between on and off states to create persistent vision effects. The LEDs are switched on and off at frequencies that exceed the human eye's ability to detect individual flashes, creating the perception of continuous light. This periodic action significantly reduces power consumption compared to continuous operation, as the LEDs are only active during the brief on-periods of each cycle.
