Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LED light sources face limitations in adjusting light angles, leading to light pollution and energy waste due to fixed lighting directions and compatibility issues with various lamp housings.

Innovation Solution

A multi-angle light source device with a holder, housing, and power supply, featuring a rotating mechanism that allows the illuminant to adjust its position in a three-dimensional space, enabling flexible light direction and reducing energy waste by separating the power supply from the heat source.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a full-angle electronic light source is selected to achieve compatibility with different lamp housings and lighting directions, then adaptability is improved, but light pollution and energy waste increase due to extra light from non-illuminated angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different lamp housingsVSAvoidenergy waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the illuminant rotatable relative to the connecting portion, and the connecting portion rotatable relative to the fixing portion. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the light source to change its luminous angle and direction according to different lamp housing requirements, while avoiding light pollution by directing light only where needed. The rotatable mechanism enables the system to adapt to various lighting directions (downward, obliquely downward, left and right, front and rear, obliquely upward) without emitting unnecessary light.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional LED lotus lamp with multiple light modules is used to adjust light direction, then lighting direction flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases and light pollution prevention fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight direction adjustmentVSAvoidnumber of light modules
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the light source into distinct functional modules: the illuminant (light-emitting component), the connecting portion (rotation mechanism), and the fixing portion (mounting interface). This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently - the illuminant provides light, the connecting portion enables angle adjustment, and the fixing portion ensures stable installation. This modular approach reduces overall device complexity compared to using multiple complete light modules, while still achieving flexible light direction control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If the power supply is integrated with the illuminant, then device simplicity is maintained, but heat dissipation performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice simplicityVSAvoidheat dissipation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by separating the power supply from the illuminant and placing it in a dedicated housing. This separation removes the heat-generating power supply components away from the heat-sensitive illuminant, improving heat dissipation performance. The power supply is electrically connected to the illuminant through the holder, maintaining electrical functionality while achieving thermal management. This extraction of the power supply from the illuminant assembly effectively addresses the heat dissipation issue without significantly increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A multi-angle light source device includes a holder (1), a housing (6) movably connectable with the holder and rotated relative to the holder, a power supply (8) received in the housing and electrically connected to the holder, and a body (2) fixedly connected to the housing. The body includes a fixing portion (3) connected to a proximal portion of a connecting portion (4), wherein the connection portion is configured to rotate relative to the fixing portion and at least one illuminant (5) connected to a distal portion of the connecting portion to rotate relative to the connecting portion. The present structure can flexibly adjust its luminous angle so that it can be conveniently used in different lamp-housings, suppress light pollution, reduce waste of electric energy, and further improve its heat dissipation performance of the product by the power supply separating from its heat source of each illuminant.
