Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the beam angle is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the LED light source and a lens, then the beam angle can be changed, but the adjustment mechanism becomes complex, the adjustment accuracy is poor, and optical devices are damaged easily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam angle adjustmentVSAvoidadjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the optical component rotatable to dynamically switch between different light exiting portions. Instead of adjusting the distance between the LED light source and lens, the patent rotates the optical component to select different beam angles, transforming a complex mechanical adjustment into a simple rotational switching mechanism that maintains adaptability while reducing complexity.

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the segmentation principle by dividing the optical component into multiple separate light exiting portions, each designed to provide a specific beam angle. The optical component includes a first light exiting portion for a first beam angle and a second light exiting portion for a second beam angle. This segmentation allows each portion to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall structural simplicity through modular design.
