Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the stage light fixture focuses on frontal observation, then the visible animation effect is improved, but the beam projection effect is neglected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisible animation effectVSAvoidbeam projection effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic movement of light sources and optical elements relative to each other along directions transversal to the optical axis. This dynamic configuration enables the beam projection direction to be continuously varied, transforming the fixed frontal observation system into a versatile beam projection system that can adapt to different stage effects and angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If the light source and optical element are fixed relative to each other, then the device structure is simple, but the beam direction cannot be adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidbeam direction adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces relative movement capability between light sources and optical elements along directions transversal to the optical axis. This dynamic mechanism allows the beam projection direction to be adjusted while maintaining a relatively compact device structure, achieving versatility without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables beam direction adjustment by moving components along directions transversal to the optical axis (perpendicular dimension), rather than only along the optical axis. This dimensional approach allows direction control while maintaining structural efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the light source and optical element move relative to each other along the optical axis, then zoom effect is achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvezoom effectVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements relative movement between light sources and optical elements along the optical axis to achieve zoom effects. This dynamic adjustment of the distance between light sources and optical elements enables continuous variation of beam parameters, providing versatility for different stage effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
