Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional lamps have limited lighting intensity, making them insufficient for large spaces and failing to meet user demands for lighting, especially in terms of flexibility and scalability.

Innovation Solution

A mounting base with multiple detachable electrical terminals that plug-in with lighting assemblies, allowing for increased luminous intensity by adding more assemblies, and a strip-shaped structure for uniform mounting and aesthetic appeal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a traditional single-body lamp structure is used, then the structure is simple, but the lighting intensity is limited and cannot satisfy user demand for large space lighting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting intensityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp is divided into a mounting base and multiple detachable lighting assemblies. The mounting base contains multiple mounting portions with electrical terminals, and each lighting assembly can be independently mounted and removed. This segmentation allows the lighting system to be expanded by adding more assemblies, thereby increasing lighting intensity while maintaining a relatively simple base structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting base is designed with multiple mounting portions that can accommodate different types of lighting assemblies. The electrical terminals and mounting structures are standardized to provide universal compatibility, allowing the same base to support various lighting configurations for different space requirements.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lighting assemblies are integrated into a single fixed structure, then the lighting intensity increases, but the flexibility and scalability are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidlighting intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting assemblies are designed to be detachable and reconfigurable rather than fixed. Users can dynamically add, remove, or rearrange lighting assemblies on the mounting base according to changing lighting needs, providing flexibility while maintaining the capability for high lighting intensity through multiple assemblies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting the lighting system into a separate mounting base and detachable assemblies, the design enables flexible configuration. Each assembly can be independently positioned and removed, allowing the system to adapt to different spatial and lighting requirements without being locked into a fixed arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Illumination intensity

If multiple lighting assemblies are mounted on the base, then the lighting intensity increases, but the positioning uniformity and aesthetic appeal may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting intensityVSAvoidpositioning uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

Each mounting portion on the base is equipped with standardized mounting structures and electrical terminals at specific locations. This ensures that when multiple lighting assemblies are mounted, they are positioned uniformly and consistently, maintaining aesthetic appeal while achieving the desired lighting intensity through proper spatial distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
