Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light-transmitting natural stone decorative panels have a strong granular sensation due to point light sources, affecting their aesthetic appearance.
Innovation Solution
A luminous stone product with a natural stone panel featuring cavities that extend to the edge and form openings, housing a light source and a light-guide board filled with transparent adhesive resin, which transforms the point light source into a uniform planar light source.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a point light source is directly arranged at the back side of the light transmitting side, then the light source structure is simple, but the light emitted has a strong granular sensation which affects aesthetic appearance
Solution Approach 1:
A light guide board is introduced as an intermediary component between the point light source and the light transmitting side. The light guide board receives light from the point light source and guides it to emit uniformly across a planar surface, transforming the granular light effect into a smooth, uniform illumination that enhances aesthetic appearance while maintaining structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The light emission is transformed from a point source (zero-dimensional) to a planar light source (two-dimensional) through the light guide board. This dimensional transformation distributes the light across a surface area, eliminating the granular sensation and creating a uniform, aesthetically pleasing light effect
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively reduces the granular sensation, providing a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing light emission, enhancing the decorative value of the stone panels.
Implementation Method 1
a light-guide board placed in the cavity and receiving light from the light source
Implementation Method 2
a gap between the light-guide board and the inner wall of the cavity is filled with a curable transparent adhesive resin
