Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless charging board is set inside the ball for wireless charging, then luminous balls can be charged wirelessly, but charging efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the wireless charging board from the ball structure and replaces it with a traditional charge port on the luminous component. This removes the energy-inefficient wireless charging mechanism while maintaining charging functionality through more efficient wired charging.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adopts a replaceable luminous component design where the entire luminous component (including battery and lamp bead) can be easily replaced. This approach prioritizes cost-effectiveness and simplicity over advanced wireless charging technology.
2Illumination intensity
If luminous component is integrated into the ball structure, then the ball can emit light, but replacement cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the ball into separate functional components: the ball body and the luminous component. The luminous component (containing battery, lamp bead, and circuit board) is designed as an independent, detachable unit that can be easily replaced without replacing the entire ball structure, reducing repair costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a replaceable luminous component design where the entire luminous assembly can be easily swapped out and replaced. This allows users to recover the value of the main ball body while replacing only the consumable luminous component, reducing overall replacement costs.
3Illumination intensity
If luminous component is integrated into the ball structure, then the ball can emit light, but it needs to be replaced regularly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the ball into a permanent ball body and a replaceable luminous component. This segmentation allows the luminous component to be easily replaced when depleted, extending the overall service life of the ball system while maintaining consistent light emission capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the luminous component dynamically replaceable rather than permanently fixed. This dynamic design allows users to swap out the luminous component when needed, extending the functional life of the ball system and ensuring continuous light emission capability.
4Ease of repair
If first cover cap is detachably connected to cavity with interference-fit, then maintenance is easier, but structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the ball structure into a ball body with cavity and a detachable first cover cap connected through interference-fit. This segmentation provides easy access to the luminous component for maintenance while keeping the overall structure relatively simple through straightforward mechanical connection.
