Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If LED lighting systems use fixed electrical connections, then the system structure is simple, but the system lacks the ability to modulate radiant power flux and color temperature
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the electrical connection system into modular segments: fixed connections for permanent fixtures and detachable resistor devices with multiple resistance values that can be selectively connected. This segmentation allows the system to achieve modulation capability through optional components rather than complex integrated systems, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustability through detachable resistor devices that allow users to change electrical resistance values based on needs. The system transitions from static fixed connections to dynamic configurable connections, enabling modulation of radiant power flux and color temperature while maintaining a relatively simple base structure through optional add-on components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the LED lighting system uses multiple resistor elements with different resistance values, then the radiant power flux can be modulated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The resistor device is segmented into multiple discrete resistor elements (first resistor element, second resistor element, etc.) with different resistance values. Each element can be independently connected or disconnected through detachable connections, allowing selective modulation of radiant power flux without requiring a complex integrated variable resistor mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable resistor device serves multiple functions: it provides different resistance values for radiant power flux modulation, can be selectively connected or disconnected, and potentially accommodates different LED configurations. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby managing complexity while achieving modulation capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the LED lighting system allows flexible adjustment of luminous intensity and color temperature, then the functionality is enhanced, but the control mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control mechanism is segmented into simple physical actions: connecting or disconnecting resistor devices with different resistance values. Each resistor element corresponds to a specific resistance value that produces desired luminous flux and color temperature adjustments. This segmentation transforms complex electronic control into simple mechanical connection operations, enhancing functionality while maintaining ease of operation.
