Solution Overview
Problem
Current magnetic pick-up tools lack an illumination function, making it difficult to locate and retrieve small metal objects in dark or obstructed areas, such as under furniture or in industrial settings, where visibility is limited.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic pick-up tool incorporating a handle, a magnetic attraction head with a built-in illuminating lamp device, and a telescopic rod, allowing for adjustable illumination and improved visibility in dark environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a magnetic pick-up tool is used to retrieve metal objects in dark areas, then the magnetic attraction function is provided, but the illumination function is lacking making it difficult to locate objects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the magnetic pick-up function and illumination function into a single integrated tool. The magnetic attraction head incorporates both the magnet for attracting metal objects and the illuminating lamp device for providing light, allowing users to perform both functions simultaneously without needing separate tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic pick-up tool is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a magnetic attractor for retrieving metal objects and as an illumination device for lighting up dark areas. This universal design enables the tool to handle multiple tasks in difficult-to-reach and dark environments.
2Illumination intensity
If the illuminating lamp device is added to the magnetic attraction head, then the illumination range is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The illuminating lamp device is nested within the magnetic attraction head structure. The lamp device, including the lampshade, lamp panel, battery, and control switch, is integrated into the existing magnetic head design, allowing the illumination components to be housed within the same structural envelope without requiring a completely separate device.
3Area of stationary object
If the lampshade is made telescopically movable, then the illumination range is extended, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lampshade is designed with telescopic movability, transitioning from a static to a dynamic structure. The lampshade can extend and retract along the magnetic attraction head, allowing users to adjust the illumination range according to their needs. This dynamic design provides flexibility in controlling the light coverage area.
