Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the photographic and video light is designed with a modular structure that can be disassembled into separate modules, then the ease of carrying and transportation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of carryingVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The photographic and video light is divided into multiple detachable modules including a light head module, optical module, and power supply module. Each module can be separated and carried independently, significantly improving portability while maintaining full functionality when assembled together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the photographic and video light is designed with a modular structure that can be disassembled into separate modules, then the occupied space is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoccupied spaceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is segmented into compact modular units that can be stored separately in small spaces. When not in use, modules can be detached and stored in separate locations, reducing the occupied space compared to a fixed integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modular design allows smaller modules to be nested within or attached to larger modules during storage and transportation, minimizing the total occupied space while maintaining ease of assembly and disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If different optical modules are provided for various environments, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The light head module is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple types of optical modules. Users can select and attach different optical modules based on specific shooting environments and requirements, enabling one device to serve multiple functions across different scenarios.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The optical system is segmented into interchangeable modules that can be independently selected and attached. This allows users to optimize the device for specific environments by choosing appropriate optical modules while keeping the base light head module simple and standardized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
