Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple LED light devices with different shapes and types are developed to meet various illumination requirements, then the adaptability to different environmental requirements is improved, but the device complexity and research cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a standardized LED light device structure that can serve multiple illumination purposes through configurable components. The light device includes a standardized housing, circuit board, and LED module assembly that can be adapted to different applications by changing the lens configuration and optical parameters rather than developing entirely different device architectures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the LED light device into modular components: a standardized base structure, interchangeable lenses with different optical characteristics, and configurable LED arrays. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component while maintaining overall system compatibility, reducing the complexity of developing integrated solutions for each application.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple LED light devices with different shapes and types are developed to meet various illumination requirements, then the adaptability to different environmental requirements is improved, but the research cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-designing and standardizing the base structure, circuit board layout, and mounting interfaces of the LED light device. These preliminary design decisions establish a platform that can be quickly adapted to different applications by modifying optical components rather than starting from scratch for each new requirement.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized platform design enables a single development effort to serve multiple applications. By creating a universal base structure with configurable optical components, the patent reduces the need for repeated development cycles across different illumination applications.
3Productivity
If traditional LED light devices are used without optimized optical design, then the device complexity is reduced, but the illumination efficiency and light shape control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies spheroidality by incorporating curved lens surfaces with specific radii of curvature to focus and direct light from the LED source. The lens design uses spherical or aspherical surfaces to control light distribution patterns, improving illumination efficiency through optical focusing rather than relying on complex mechanical positioning or multiple light sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing optical parameters such as lens curvature radius, refractive index, and lens-to-LED distance to achieve desired illumination patterns. By adjusting these parameters within the standardized device structure, the patent achieves high illumination efficiency without increasing overall device complexity.

AI summary
An optical lens includes a first curved surface and a second curved surface. The first curved surface is for receiving a light ray, and includes a first curve, a second curve, a first symmetrical curve and a second symmetrical curve disposed on a first plane, and a third curve and a fourth curve disposed on a third plane. The second curved surface is opposite to the first curved surface, and includes a fifth curve, a sixth curve, a fifth symmetrical curve and a sixth symmetrical curve disposed on the first plane, and a seventh curve and an eighth curve disposed on the third plane. The first plane is perpendicular to the third plane, and the curvatures of all the curves are controlled by a weight factor, so that the light ray is emitted onto a preset area through the optical lens.
