Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional homogeneous LED illuminating device structures are used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but product differentiation and adaptability are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct differentiationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The LED illuminating device is divided into multiple independent modules including frame member modules, light source modules, housing modules, and functional modules. Each module can be independently designed, manufactured, and assembled, enabling product differentiation while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized modular components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs universal interface structures and standardized connection mechanisms that allow the same basic modules to serve multiple functions and be configured in various arrangements. This enables a single module type to adapt to different application scenarios, achieving product differentiation without increasing overall system complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If modular design with arbitrary bending and fixing is implemented, then adaptability and customization are improved, but connection reliability and structural stability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecustomizabilityVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates dynamic connection mechanisms that allow modules to be easily assembled and disassembled during installation and maintenance, while automatically achieving stable mechanical interlocking and electrical contact when assembled.

AI summary

The present invention relates to an LED illuminating device, which includes a lamp cover, a housing, and a base formed in a standardized general modularized manner that can be combined to form the desired appearance of the illuminating device. Also, a lens decorative lighting member, which uses general screw-in manner, is included. The lens decorative lighting member can act as both decorative lighting and lens. The elected lens decorative lighting member can change the light emitting angle and the color temperature arbitrarily. A plug-in integrated light source module consisting of lamp bead and the heat sink is further included. A plug-in three-dimensional circuit-connecting component, which replaces the existing PCB, is further included to form a general component, which can be arbitrarily bent, fixed, and tailored. A plug-in power supply module is further included, wherein additional functions can be arbitrarily selected and replaced based on demands.
