Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light-control accessories are inconvenient for arranging and replacing light-control members such as sheets, lattices, and shielding plates due to their simple border structure, making it difficult to adapt to different use requirements.

Innovation Solution

A multifunctional light-control accessory frame with three accessory borders, angle joints, and a quick-mounting structure for light shielding plates, featuring rotary shaft fixing screws, accessory quick-mounting assemblies, and a rotary shaft connecting rod, allows for easy mounting and replacement of light-control members.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a simple border structure is used for the light-control accessory, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation for arranging and replacing light-control members deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidease of mounting light-control members
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The light-control accessory is divided into modular components: a frame structure with multiple borders and angle joints, separate mounting areas for different light-control members (sheets, lattices, shielding plates), and distinct quick-mounting structures. This segmentation allows each component to be independently designed and replaced without affecting the entire assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The accessory incorporates dynamic mounting mechanisms including rotary shafts that can rotate between locked and unlocked positions, and quick-mounting structures that enable rapid attachment and detachment of light-control members. The rotary shaft connecting rod with fixing screws provides a mechanism that transitions from a locked state (holding the member firmly) to an unlocked state (allowing easy removal).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If a simple border structure is used for the light-control accessory, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the adaptability to different use requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to different use requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The frame structure serves multiple functions: it provides the structural framework, contains mounting grooves for light-control sheets and lattices, includes mounting areas for light shielding plates and filter paper clamping plates, and integrates quick-mounting structures. This multi-functionality allows a single accessory design to accommodate various light-control members and satisfy different lighting control requirements.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The accessory is segmented into functional zones: inner sides of borders contain grooves for sheets and lattices, outer sides have mounting areas for shielding plates and filter clamps, and angle joints provide structural connection. This segmentation enables the same frame structure to support different configurations of light-control members based on specific use requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If traditional mounting methods are used for light shielding plates, then the device complexity is reduced, but the productivity for replacing light shielding plates deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting structure complexityVSAvoidreplacement speed of light shielding plates
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The quick-mounting structure employs a rotary shaft mechanism that can dynamically transition between locked and unlocked states. When the rotary shaft is rotated to the unlocked position, the fixing screws are released, allowing the light shielding plate to be quickly removed. This dynamic mechanism enables rapid replacement without requiring multiple fastening operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is pre-configured with fixing screws, rotary shafts, and connecting rods positioned and oriented correctly before the light shielding plate is installed. The rotary shaft is pre-positioned in the mounting area, and the fixing screws are ready to engage with the connecting rod, eliminating the need for alignment adjustments during the replacement process and enabling rapid installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
