Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional arrangements of flexible LED filaments are used in light-transmitting carriers, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability to complex lighting design needs is poor and three-dimensional positioning capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The light-transmitting carrier is divided into multiple holding cavities, each capable of independently positioning LED filaments. This segmentation allows complex three-dimensional lighting designs to be achieved through simple modular components, resolving the contradiction between design adaptability and structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional planar arrangements to three-dimensional spatial positioning by creating holding cavities with connecting points at different heights and positions. This enables LED filaments to be positioned in three-dimensional space, significantly enhancing lighting design versatility without proportionally increasing structural complexity.
2Manufacturing precision
If flexible LED filaments are freely arranged in light-transmitting carriers, then the installation process is simple, but the positioning precision and shape control are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The holding cavities and connecting points are pre-formed in the light-transmitting carrier during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation enables precise positioning of LED filaments during installation without requiring complex adjustment procedures, thus maintaining installation simplicity while achieving high positioning precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical positioning mechanisms with a simplified system of holding cavities and connecting points. The LED filaments are positioned through snap-fitting or bonding to these pre-formed structures, eliminating the need for complex mechanical adjustment systems while achieving precise positioning.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple connecting points are added to the light-transmitting carrier for better positioning, then the positioning capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holding cavities with connecting points serve multiple functions: they provide structural support, enable precise positioning, allow for modular assembly, and facilitate various lighting configurations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate positioning mechanisms, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity despite enhanced positioning capability.

AI summary
A light emitting device, comprising a light-transmitting carrier (1) and a light emitting body (200). The light-transmitting carrier (1) is formed with a holding cavity (10), a plurality of connecting points (4) are disposed on an inner wall of the holding cavity (10), and the light emitting body (200) is disposed within the holding cavity (10) by connecting with the connecting points (4). The light emitting device cleverly utilizes the connecting points (4) to restrain the light emitting body (200) in the holding cavity (10), causing the light emitting body (200) to be freely shaped and accurately positioned in three-dimensional space, so as to form a planar light source or a three-dimensional light source that are restrained within the holding cavity (10) through the connecting points (4), thereby enhancing the visual effect of the lamps and lanterns, making the lamps and lanterns better adapt to the lighting needs of different scenes and atmospheres, and more finely controlling distribution and change of light, and creating a more comfortable and hierarchical three-dimensional lighting effect.
