Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional household lighting lamps fail to adequately address user requirements for light comfort and adaptability to different scenes, resulting in suboptimal environmental quality and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A household lighting lamp design featuring a main light-emitting component and a secondary light-emitting component, both connected to a control circuit, allowing for independent control of direct and ambient lighting modes through a main light-guide element and a secondary light-guide element, respectively, to adjust illumination intensity and direction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single light source is used in traditional lighting lamps, then the structure is simple, but the light comfort and adaptability to different scenes are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different scenesVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting lamp is divided into two independent light-emitting components: a main light-emitting component with a main light source and main light-guide element for direct lighting, and a secondary light-emitting component with a secondary light source and secondary light-guide element for ambient lighting. This segmentation allows each component to be independently controlled, enabling the lamp to adapt to different lighting scenes and user needs while maintaining relatively simple individual component structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Illumination intensity

If the illumination intensity is increased to meet large light conditions, then the lighting brightness is improved, but the light comfort is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting brightnessVSAvoidlight comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting function is segmented into two independent pathways: the main light-emitting component provides high-intensity direct lighting for bright illumination requirements, while the secondary light-emitting component provides lower-intensity ambient lighting for comfort. By segmenting the lighting function, the system can deliver high brightness when needed without compromising comfort, as the secondary component can be activated to soften the overall lighting effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lighting lamp employs dynamic control where the main light source and secondary light source can be independently switched on or off based on user needs. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the system to adapt illumination intensity in real-time, providing high brightness for tasks while maintaining comfort by adjusting the contribution of each light component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the light direction is fixed in traditional lamps, then the manufacturing is simple, but the adaptability to different usage scenarios is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting scenario adaptabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is segmented into two independent light-emitting components with separate light-guide elements positioned at different locations and orientations. The main light-guide element is positioned to provide direct forward lighting, while the secondary light-guide element is positioned to provide ambient lighting from different directions. This spatial segmentation of light emission paths enables the lamp to adapt to various usage scenarios without requiring complex adjustable mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
