Problem
Conventional lamps lack multifunctionality, failing to meet the increasing demands for lighting and additional features such as sterilization in various environments.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional lamp incorporating a lighting device that emits flame-like light and a sterilization device, where the light-transmitting suspending chamber can float on liquid while the sterilization device can immerse in it, with a sealing mechanism to prevent water ingress and a solar panel for energy independence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lamp is designed with only lighting function, then the structure is simple, but it cannot meet people's increasing requirements for multifunctionality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines lighting function and sterilization function into a single lamp device. The lighting member provides illumination while the sterilization device with sterilization container and spray nozzle delivers sterilization spray, merging two separate functions into one integrated product that meets diverse user needs without requiring multiple separate devices
Solution Approach 2:
The lamp is designed to perform multiple functions: lighting (through the lighting member) and sterilization (through the sterilization device). This universal design allows the same device to serve different purposes - providing ambient light and sterilizing surfaces or air - thereby increasing adaptability and versatility while managing structural complexity through shared components
2Adaptability or versatility
If the lighting member is exposed to liquid environment, then the lamp can function in water, but the service life of lighting components will be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp body is divided into separate functional zones: a light-transmitting suspending chamber that floats on liquid and contains the lighting member, and a sterilization device that can be immersed in liquid. This segmentation isolates the lighting components from direct liquid exposure while allowing the sterilization components to contact the liquid, thus maintaining reliability of lighting parts while enabling water environment functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The light-transmitting suspending chamber acts as an intermediary between the lighting member and the liquid environment. It allows light to pass through while preventing liquid from reaching the lighting member, effectively mediating between the need for water environment capability and the need to protect sensitive components from liquid damage
3Adaptability or versatility
If the sterilization device is added to the lamp, then multifunctionality is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sterilization device is merged with the lamp structure by mounting the sterilization container and spray nozzle onto the lamp body. This integration allows the sterilization function to be added without requiring a completely separate device, managing complexity through shared mounting structures and coordinated design between lighting and sterilization components
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The lamp provides both aesthetic and functional lighting while effectively sterilizing liquids, enhancing user convenience through easy maintenance and extended service life by isolating the light-emitting components from water and utilizing solar power.
Implementation Method 1
the base is capable of sealing the mounting opening to enable the light-transmitting suspending chamber capable of floating on liquid
Implementation Method 2
a lighting member configured to emit flame-like light
Implementation Method 3
the sterilization device is capable of being deep into the liquid to sterilize the liquid
Implementation Method 4
a sealing ring is arranged between the light-transmitting suspending chamber and the base and configured to prevent the liquid entering the light-transmitting suspending chamber

AI summary
A multifunctional lamp includes a lighting device and a sterilization device. The lighting device includes a base, a lighting member configured to emit flame-like light; and a light-transmitting suspending chamber defined with a mounting opening. The lighting member is mounted into the light-transmitting suspending chamber through the mounting opening. The light-transmitting suspending chamber is arranged at one side of the base with the base sealing the mounting opening and the sterilization device is arranged at the other side of the base. When the multifunctional lamp is put into liquid, the light-transmitting suspending chamber is capable of floating on the liquid and the sterilization device is capable of being deep into the liquid to sterilize the liquid.
