Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional luminaires use focusing and shading to adjust illumination angle, then light distribution can be modified, but the device complexity increases and luminous efficacy is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination angle adjustmentVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The luminaire divides the light source into multiple groups (first group, second group, third group) that can be independently controlled. Each group corresponds to a specific illumination angle, allowing the system to adjust the illumination angle by selecting which groups are activated rather than using complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between different groups of lights based on control signals from the remote device or voice commands. This dynamic switching enables real-time adjustment of illumination angles without physical movement or mechanical components, reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional luminaires require manual rotation and stretching to adjust focal length, then illumination angle can be changed, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefocal length adjustmentVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment (rotation, stretching) with electronic control systems. The control platform receives remote control signals or voice commands and automatically activates the appropriate groups of lights, eliminating the need for users to manually rotate or stretch components to adjust focal length and illumination angle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The luminaire system automatically determines which groups of lights to activate based on received control signals. The system self-adjusts the illumination parameters without requiring user intervention in the physical adjustment process, improving ease of operation while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional luminaires use shading to adjust illumination angle, then light distribution can be modified, but luminous efficacy is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination angle controlVSAvoidluminous efficacy loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of using shading components that block and waste light, the system segments the light source into multiple controllable groups. Each group is directed at a specific angle, and the system achieves illumination angle control by selectively activating appropriate groups, thereby avoiding light blockage and minimizing luminous efficacy loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the operational parameters by activating different groups of lights with specific characteristics (different angles, intensities) rather than using physical shading. This parameter-based control method adjusts illumination angle while maximizing light utilization and minimizing energy loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Ease of operation

If conventional luminaires lack remote and voice control, then device simplicity is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote control capabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control platform is designed with multi-functionality, supporting both remote control signals and voice commands through the same system architecture. This universal control interface handles multiple input methods without requiring separate control systems, improving ease of operation while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The control platform acts as an intermediary between the user (via remote device or voice) and the light source groups. It processes control signals and voice commands, translates them into appropriate group activation patterns, and manages the switching between different illumination configurations, thereby providing sophisticated control capabilities without exposing complexity to the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
