Solution Overview

Problem

The existing lighting fixtures are inconvenient for users as their position cannot be easily adjusted, limiting their usability.

Innovation Solution

A lighting fixture design that includes a base with a driving power supply, a lighting column with a conductive track, a sliding assembly, and a lighting cap assembly, where the sliding body can adjust its position relative to the column body, allowing users to adjust the light source's position and orientation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the lighting fixture is fixed on the wall, roof or ground, then the structure is stable and reliable, but the position cannot be easily adjusted, reducing ease of operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of light source positionVSAvoidfixed structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed lighting fixture into a movable one. The sliding assembly allows the lighting cap to move along the column body, enabling dynamic adjustment of the light source position while maintaining structural stability through guided motion constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The lighting fixture is segmented into distinct functional modules: base, column body, sliding assembly, and lighting cap assembly. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of the lighting cap while maintaining the stability of the base and column structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a sliding assembly is added to enable position adjustment, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of light source positionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sliding assembly introduces dynamic adjustability through a simple sliding mechanism with limiting blocks, allowing position adjustment without complex actuation systems. The mechanical limiting blocks provide automatic position constraints without requiring additional control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The sliding mechanism is designed to be manually operable without requiring external power or control systems. The limiting blocks automatically constrain the sliding body within valid positions, providing self-regulating functionality that reduces overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
