Lighted Rail for False Wall with Stretched Canvas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighted rails for false walls with stretched canvases suffer from inadequate intense lighting due to diffusers, dust accumulation affecting light quality, and cumbersome diffuser installation, leading to glare and shadow issues.
Innovation Solution
A rail design with lighting elements positioned in a channel and covered by a built-in shoulder that extends under them, eliminating glare and shadows while simplifying mounting and hiding unsightly elements, using electroluminescent diodes and a shoulder configuration to maintain light intensity and aesthetic appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a diffuser is used to close the channel housing the lighting system, then the lighting becomes glare-free, but the light intensity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the diffuser from the channel housing the lighting system, extracting the harmful light-diffusing function. Instead, a cover is positioned under the lighting elements to provide glare-free lighting without using a diffuser, thereby preserving light intensity while eliminating glare.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover acts as an intermediary element positioned under the lighting elements. It mediates between the light source and the observer, providing glare-free lighting without the need for a diffuser that would reduce light intensity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a diffuser is installed to provide glare-free lighting, then shadow areas are eliminated, but the installation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is merged with the rail structure, forming an integrated component. This combination eliminates the need for separate diffuser installation, simplifying the overall structure and reducing installation complexity while still providing glare-free lighting and eliminating shadow areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover is pre-positioned and built into the rail during manufacturing, performing the glare-reduction function in advance. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex post-installation diffuser mounting, simplifying the installation process.
3Illumination intensity
If a diffuser is used to diffuse light, then the lighting appears uniform, but dust particles deposit on the diffuser and affect light rendering over time
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the diffuser from the system, extracting the source of dust accumulation problems. The cover positioned under the lighting elements provides uniform lighting without creating a surface for dust particle deposition, maintaining long-term light rendering stability.
4Reliability
If the channel is completely closed by a diffuser, then the lighting system is protected, but volatile particles such as dust accumulate inside the channel
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the completely closed diffuser structure, eliminating the enclosed space where dust particles can accumulate. The cover positioned under the lighting elements provides protection while allowing the channel to remain open, preventing dust accumulation inside.
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 provides glare-free, intense lighting without shadow projection, simplifies installation, and maintains an aesthetic appearance by integrating the cover into the rail's manufacturing process, ensuring efficient light diffusion and hiding of electrical components.
Implementation Method 1
lighting elements are mounted... electroluminescent diodes
Implementation Method 2
The intensity of the light emitted by the lighting elements is thus preserved, while remaining glare-free, thanks to the position of such lighting elements in the channel and to the presence of a cover positioned under the lighting elements
