Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If LED illuminance is used for light combining, then light combining efficiency is improved, but color temperature drift occurs due to temperature changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight combining efficiencyVSAvoidcolor temperature stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes the corresponding relationship between control degree and illuminance at different temperatures through offline calibration. During actual operation, the system only needs to query the pre-stored relationship data based on current temperature, avoiding real-time complex calculations and enabling rapid compensation while maintaining color temperature stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism by continuously monitoring the temperature of LEDs and dynamically adjusting the control degree based on the pre-stored corresponding relationships. When temperature changes are detected, the system automatically retrieves the appropriate illuminance-control degree mapping from memory and adjusts the LED output accordingly, forming a closed-loop control system that maintains stable color temperature

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Stability of the object's composition

If control degree is adjusted to compensate temperature changes, then color temperature stability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor temperature stabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs the complex calibration work in advance, establishing lookup tables that map temperature values to corresponding control degrees and illuminance relationships. During runtime, the system simply queries these pre-computed tables based on measured temperature, reducing real-time computational burden and simplifying the control logic while maintaining accurate color temperature compensation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a lookup table as an intermediary data structure that stores the pre-calibrated corresponding relationships between control degree, illuminance, and temperature. This intermediary layer decouples the complex calibration data from the real-time control logic, allowing the control system to operate with simple table lookups rather than complex real-time calculations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
