Solution Overview

Problem

Existing photography and videography lamps have large overall volumes, making them inconvenient to carry and transport, which affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

The lamp is designed with a detachable structure comprising a light head module, optical module, and power supply module, allowing disassembly into two parts, with the light head module and optical module being small in size, and the power supply module detachably connected to the light head module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the photography and videography lamp is designed with complete functional assemblies, then the lighting performance and reliability are improved, but the overall volume increases and portability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting performanceVSAvoidoverall volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The photography and videography lamp is divided into a light head module and a power supply module that can be detachably connected. The light head module contains the light source assembly and optical components for lighting performance, while the power supply module contains the battery. This segmentation allows the lamp to maintain complete functionality when connected, while enabling reduced volume and improved portability when the modules are separated for carrying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the photography and videography lamp includes multiple assembly components, then the functional completeness is improved, but the ease of carrying and transportation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional completenessVSAvoidease of carrying
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp system is segmented into functionally complete but physically separable modules. The light head module contains all lighting functional components (light source, optical elements), while the power supply module contains the battery and power management components. This segmentation maintains functional completeness when assembled but dramatically improves ease of carrying when disassembled, as users can transport only the compact light head module outdoors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection between the light head module and power supply module is designed to be dynamically changeable - detachable rather than fixed. This allows the system to transition between a complete functional state (when connected for use) and a portable state (when separated for carrying). The detachable connection mechanism enables users to quickly assemble or disassemble the modules based on usage needs.
