Solution Overview

Problem

Existing working lamps have limited illumination range and require additional tripods for expansion, which is inconvenient and costly for users.

Innovation Solution

A working lamp with a detachable connecting portion on its housing allows for easy connection with other lamps, expanding the illumination range by enabling a rotatable and adjustable connection for improved directional lighting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a single working lamp is used, then the structure is simple and easy to operate, but the illumination range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination rangeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The working lamp system is divided into independent modular units (single lamps) that can be separately manufactured and connected. Each lamp unit maintains its simplicity while the system as a whole achieves expanded illumination coverage through connection of multiple units via connecting portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple working lamps are combined into a working lamp group through connecting portions provided on their housings. This merging allows the system to achieve expanded illumination range while maintaining the simplicity of individual lamp units, resolving the contradiction between coverage and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple working lamps are connected using a tripod with connecting structures, then the illumination range is expanded, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination rangeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting portion is extracted as an integrated component of the working lamp housing itself, eliminating the need for separate tripods and external connecting structures. This extraction simplifies the overall system while enabling expansion of illumination range through direct lamp-to-lamp connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting portion serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for lamp connection, enables adjustable positioning, and maintains electrical connectivity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components, simplifying the system while achieving expanded illumination coverage.

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

3Area of stationary object

If multiple working lamps are connected using a tripod with connecting structures, then the illumination range is expanded, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination rangeVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By removing the tripod and external connecting structures from the system, the operation becomes simpler. Users only need to connect lamps directly to each other through the integrated connecting portions, eliminating the complexity of assembling and adjusting tripod structures while maintaining expanded illumination capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
