Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional rackets lack an engaging user experience and aesthetic appeal during use, as they only serve a single functional purpose without enhancing the playing experience.

Innovation Solution

A creative light-emitting racket design featuring a plate body with slots of various shapes, embedded light-emitting members, a battery-powered circuit board with a light control chip, and adjustable lamp beads to create visually appealing light patterns, enhancing the racket's aesthetic and functional experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If light-emitting members are installed in slots on the plate body, then the aesthetic appeal and user experience are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic appealVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The plate body is segmented with multiple slots of different shapes (heart-shaped, flower-shaped, star-shaped, character-shaped) to accommodate light-emitting members. This segmentation allows the light to be emitted in specific patterns, creating aesthetic visual effects while maintaining a structured manufacturing approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes light-emitting members that emit different colors of light through shaped slots. The color and shape combination creates visually appealing effects, transforming the racket from a plain tool to an aesthetically pleasing object during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a battery and circuit board are added to control light-emitting members, then the functionality and user experience are enhanced, but the weight of the racket increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidweight of racket
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board integrates multiple functions including power management for the battery, control of light-emitting members, and potentially other features. This multi-functionality consolidates several components into one system, adding versatility while minimizing additional weight through functional integration.

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

3Shape

If slots of various shapes are formed on the plate body, then the visual appeal and creativity are improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual appealVSAvoidmanufacturing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs various shaped slots (heart-shaped, flower-shaped, star-shaped, character-shaped) that allow light to pass through and create visually appealing patterns. These shape variations enhance the aesthetic appeal and creativity of the racket while the light emission compensates for any minor manufacturing tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
