Solution Overview

Problem

Current LED light bulbs struggle to achieve omnidirectional light emission with a simple structure, convenient installation, and effective heat dissipation, often resulting in uneven luminous intensity and short service life due to complex designs and inadequate heat management.

Innovation Solution

The design features a heat sink housing with a protruded platform, an integrated column-shaped LED light source with a polygonal prism head, and an annular reflecting surface, which allows for omnidirectional light emission by distributing LED chips on the top and lateral surfaces and utilizing a silica-gel lens for packaging, along with a heat sink housing that facilitates easy installation and efficient heat dissipation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a plane type LED integrated module light source is implanted in the bulb, then the structure is simple, but omnidirectional light-emitting cannot be realized because the luminous surface is narrow

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidomnidirectional light-emitting
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a plane type LED module to a column-shaped LED light source with LED chips arranged on both the top and lateral surfaces. This three-dimensional configuration expands the luminous surface from two-dimensional to three-dimensional space, enabling light emission in multiple directions simultaneously and achieving omnidirectional illumination while maintaining structural simplicity.

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

2Illumination intensity

If an upward astigmatism lens is arranged on the surrounding LED, then the luminous intensity distribution meets the standard requirement, but it easily brings a phenomenon of inconsistency of light color temperature and thus causes visual fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous intensity distributionVSAvoidvisual fatigue
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a transparent packaging frame that uniformly encloses the LED chips without introducing refractive elements. This homogeneous transparent structure allows light to pass through without refraction, maintaining consistent color temperature across all light beams while still achieving the required luminous intensity distribution through the geometric arrangement of LED chips on the column structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

3Illumination intensity

If a complicated structure with too many contact surfaces is used, then large light-emitting angles can be realized, but it is difficult to be manufactured and has poor heat dissipating effect and short service life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emitting anglesVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the LED light source into distinct functional parts: LED chips mounted on a circuit board, assembled into a column-shaped housing with lateral and top surfaces. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured and tested separately before final assembly, simplifying the manufacturing process while achieving large light-emitting angles through the three-dimensional chip arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary contact surfaces and complex internal structures from the design. By using a straightforward column-shaped housing with LED chips directly mounted on the lateral and top surfaces, the design reduces the number of interfaces and contact points, thereby simplifying manufacturing while maintaining effective heat dissipation paths and achieving wide light emission angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Device complexity

If LED chips are arranged only on the top surface, then the structure is simple, but omnidirectional light-emitting cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidomnidirectional light-emitting
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds the lateral surfaces to the top surface for LED chip arrangement, transitioning from a single-surface (top only) to multi-surface (top and lateral) configuration. This dimensional expansion of the luminous surface allows light to be emitted from multiple orientations simultaneously, achieving true omnidirectional illumination while keeping the column-shaped structure inherently simple and easy to manufacture.

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