Light-emitting basin
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light-emitting basins with single-color lamp beads produce monotonous lighting effects, fail to fully illuminate the basin, and expose electrical fittings, making them aesthetically unpleasing and prone to damage.
Innovation Solution
A novel light-emitting basin with a chambered body made of materials like glass, ceramic, or plastic, featuring a light diffuser plate and light-emitting components inside or outside the chamber, allowing for even illumination and concealing electrical parts within the chamber.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a light-emitting LED light is installed on a lateral surface of the base box, then the structure is simple, but only part of the bottom of the basin body is brightened, failing to achieve ideal night view decorative effect
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the light-emitting system into multiple independent LED lights distributed at different positions (bottom surface, lateral surfaces, and/or top surface of the base box). Each LED light illuminates a specific region, and together they achieve comprehensive illumination of the entire basin body, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and effective illumination coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a single-point light source on the lateral surface to a multi-dimensional lighting distribution system. LED lights are placed on the bottom surface, lateral surfaces, and/or top surface of the base box, creating a three-dimensional illumination pattern that ensures all parts of the basin body are brightly lit, thereby achieving ideal night view decorative effect.
2Reliability
If fittings such as electric parts are exposed, then the structure is simple, but the overall appearance of products is affected and electric parts are damaged easily
Solution Approach 1:
The invention places the chamber inside the basin body, creating a nested structure where the chamber houses the electric parts (LED lights, power supply, control circuitry). This nested design protects the electric components from external damage while maintaining a clean external appearance of the basin body, effectively resolving the contradiction between reliability and structural simplicity.
3Reliability
If the product adopts a table-top configuration, then the structure is simple, but the pressure point is on the electric parts causing easy damage
Solution Approach 1:
The chamber is nested inside the basin body to provide a dedicated protective enclosure for electric parts. This nested structure isolates the pressure-bearing basin body from the electric components, ensuring that mechanical pressure from table-top configuration does not transmit to the fragile electric parts, thereby enhancing their durability.
Solution Approach 2:
The chamber acts as an intermediary protective layer between the external environment (including mechanical pressure) and the electric parts. By placing electric components inside this intermediate chamber, the invention shields them from direct mechanical stress while maintaining the simple table-top configuration of the overall product.
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 solution enhances the illuminating effect, provides a decorative night view, and protects electrical components, making the basin both aesthetically pleasing and durable.
Implementation Method 1
A bottom surface of the body protrudes inwards or is recessed inwards to form the chamber, and/or a top edge of a lateral chamber wall of the chamber is higher than, at a same level as or lower than a top edge of the body. A light-emitting component is provided inside and/or outside the chamber to brighten the chamber wall of the chamber and brighten the body using light passing through the chamber wall.
Implementation Method 2
At least part of the chamber wall of the chamber forms a luminous body which is light reflective or light refractive.
Implementation Method 3
The luminous body is made into a translucent body with light-penetrative materials, and/or is made into a refractive body with light-reflective materials.

AI summary
The present invention is a novel light-emitting basin which includes a body. A surface of the body protrudes or is recessed to form a chamber. The body and/or a chamber wall of the chamber is in an atypical shape or a polyhedron shape. At least part of the chamber wall of the chamber forms a luminous body which is light reflective or light refractive. By using the novel light-emitting basin of the present invention, the surface of the body protrudes or is recessed to form a chamber. Fittings such as electric parts can be disposed in the chamber and thus could not be damaged easily.
