Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed structure is used for floor lamps, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of assembly and disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The floor lamp is divided into multiple detachable modules including a support module, light-emitting module, and control module. Each module can be independently assembled and disassembled through connection structures such as insertion columns and fixing holes, enabling easy maintenance and replacement while maintaining structural stability during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional lighting design is used, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the lighting quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidlighting quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp body incorporates a cavity structure with specific optical properties that selectively refracts and diffuses light in different directions. This local optical design creates uniform light distribution and soft lighting effects without requiring complex manufacturing processes, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while improving lighting quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If modular design is adopted, then the ease of assembly and disassembly is improved, but the lighting quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of assembly and disassemblyVSAvoidlighting quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The modular light-emitting device integrates the light-emitting element, lamp body with cavity structure, and light guide components into a single detachable module. This merging of functions within the module ensures uniform light distribution and soft lighting effects are achieved through the integrated cavity design, while the entire module remains easily replaceable to maintain ease of assembly and disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
