Light-Emitting Birdbath Basin With Diffused Solar LED Illumination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lighting apparatuses used in outdoor environments, such as birdbaths, are monotonous and fail to blend seamlessly into their surroundings due to single-color lamp beads, lacking both aesthetic appeal and practicality in terms of environmental integration.
Innovation Solution
A light-emitting birdbath basin with a molded basin shape featuring a light-penetrative body and chamber, incorporating a light-emitting body and diffuser plate to refract and focus light, combined with a solar-powered lighting assembly that uses LED lamp beads for varied lighting effects, allowing the birdbath to be aesthetically pleasing and practical.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If single-color lamp beads are used in conventional lighting apparatus, then the structure is simple, but the lighting effect is monotonous and cannot blend into the environment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by using multiple lamp beads of different colors (red, green, blue, yellow, purple) arranged in the lighting assembly. These colored lamp beads can be individually controlled to create various lighting effects and color combinations, enabling the lighting apparatus to blend harmoniously with different environmental settings while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional lighting apparatus are used outdoors, then lighting function is provided, but sealability and decorative blending are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated structure. The lighting assembly is combined with the birdbath basin, where the basin itself serves as both a functional water container and a decorative lighting structure. The lighting components are embedded within the basin structure, creating a unified design that provides both illumination and environmental blending without requiring separate complex systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The use of multi-color lamp beads in the lighting assembly enables the apparatus to change its appearance and blend with different environmental settings. The colored lights can be adjusted to match surrounding vegetation, architecture, or ambiance, enhancing environmental integration while the integrated basin structure provides the necessary outdoor durability and sealability.
3Illumination intensity
If light-emitting body is added to enhance brightness and illumination, then decorative effect is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting assembly is designed to be self-contained within the birdbath basin structure. The system uses energy-efficient LED lamp beads that consume minimal power while providing sufficient illumination. The integrated design allows the lighting function to serve the decorative purpose without requiring external power sources or additional energy-intensive components, achieving bright illumination with low energy consumption.
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 brightness and illumination area of the birdbath, creating a harmonious and unified visual effect with the environment, offering a gorgeous and clear night-time decorative appearance while being energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Implementation Method 1
The bottom of the chamber is provided with a light diffuser plate, the light of the light-emitting body reaches the first luminous body above, or reaches the light diffuser plate below, the light diffuser plate further causes the light to emit through the first luminous body
Implementation Method 2
the light diffuser plate causes the chamber to be formed into a luminous and hollow sealed or semi-sealed chamber
Implementation Method 3
chamber walls of the chamber are formed as a first luminous body which is light-penetrative; light emitted by the light-emitting body brightens the hollow chamber to form a luminous chamber, and is configured to converge and focus on the surfaces of inner walls of the body after passing through the first luminous body
Implementation Method 4
light emitted by the light-emitting body is configured to converge and focus on the surfaces of inner walls of the body after passing through the first luminous body
Implementation Method 5
The power comprises a solar cell chip

AI summary
A light-emitting birdbath basin having a body and a light-emitting body. A bottom portion of the body protrudes inwardly into the body to form a chamber. The light-emitting body is provided inside the chamber. Chamber walls of the chamber are formed as a first luminous body which is translucent. Lights emitted by the light-emitting body may brighten the hollow chamber to form a luminous chamber, and be configured to converge and focus on the surfaces of inner walls of the body after passing through the first luminous body. The basin-shaped body is placed outdoors. Water and bird food can be held in the basin. In daytime, the light-emitting body does not light up. Birds can clean their feathers and peck at the bird food in the basin, which is environmentally friendly and energy saving.
