Solution Overview

Problem

Existing firefly lamps cannot simulate the natural visual effect of fireflies flying in the air, as they are limited to fixed positions and simple flashing patterns.

Innovation Solution

A flying firefly lamp linearly distributed, comprising imitated firefly units connected in parallel between positive and negative power cords, each unit equipped with a PCB board, an attitude control chip, and LED lights, which flash in sequence to mimic the flying mode of fireflies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If existing firefly lamps use fixed position LED lights, then the structure is simple and power consumption is low, but the visual effect cannot simulate fireflies flying naturally in the air

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual effectVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The firefly lamp is divided into multiple independent imitated firefly units, each capable of independent control. Each unit contains its own attitude control chip and LED lights, allowing them to be controlled separately to create complex flying patterns while maintaining simple individual structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lamp transitions from static fixed-position lighting to dynamic sequential lighting. The attitude control chip controls LED lights to flash in sequence according to preset flying modes, creating dynamic visual effects that simulate fireflies flying through the air

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple imitated firefly units are added to expand the linear distribution, then the visual effect of fireflies flying is enhanced, but the power consumption and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveexpandabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into independent modular units that can be added or removed freely. Each unit has its own control chip and power management, allowing incremental expansion without increasing overall system complexity. The parallel connection architecture enables easy addition of units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each imitated firefly unit is designed as a universal module that can function independently or in coordination with other units. The standardized interface and control architecture allow the same unit design to be used throughout the linear distribution, simplifying expansion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Illumination intensity

If LED lights are controlled to flash in sequence according to preset flying mode, then the natural flying visual effect is achieved, but the control system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual effectVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each imitated firefly unit contains its own attitude control chip that autonomously controls the LED lights in that unit. The control chip stores preset flying modes and time scales locally, eliminating the need for complex external control systems and enabling distributed autonomous control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The flying modes and time scales are pre-programmed into the attitude control chips during manufacturing. This preliminary configuration allows the units to operate autonomously without real-time external control, simplifying the overall control system while maintaining complex visual patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
