Phototherapy Glasses with Reflecting Layer and Hinged Temples
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current phototherapy solutions, such as lamps and wearable devices, either restrict user mobility due to weight and positioning requirements or compromise aesthetics and convenience with unusual designs.
Innovation Solution
Phototherapy glasses with a hinged temple structure, integrated light sources, and reflecting layers on the lenses, allowing for folding and unfolding for storage and wear, while ensuring effective light reflection to the eyes and simplifying the design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a phototherapy lamp is used, then phototherapy effect is achieved, but user mobility is restricted due to heavy weight and positioning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The phototherapy system is segmented into compact wearable glasses with integrated light sources positioned near the eyes, eliminating the need for a separate large lamp and positioning device. This segmentation allows users to move freely while receiving phototherapy treatment.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanical positioning system required by traditional lamps is replaced with a wearable optical device that directly positions light sources near the user's eyes. This substitution eliminates complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms and enables natural user movement.
2Ease of operation
If wearable phototherapy products are used, then user mobility is maintained, but aesthetics and convenience are compromised due to special or strange product forms
Solution Approach 1:
The glasses combine phototherapy function with everyday eyewear functionality. By integrating the light source component into the temple of standard-style glasses, the device serves both as a therapeutic tool and a conventional accessory, improving aesthetics and user acceptance.
Solution Approach 2:
The light source component is localized to the temple portion of the glasses, allowing the main front frame and lenses to maintain conventional appearances. This localized integration preserves the aesthetic quality of the glasses while incorporating the therapeutic function.
3Device complexity
If light source component is integrated into the glasses, then structure is simplified and aesthetics are improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The light source component is designed to automatically position itself relative to the user's eyes through the natural wearing position of the glasses. This self-positioning mechanism reduces the need for precision adjustment features and complex alignment systems during manufacturing.
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
Enables users to move freely while receiving phototherapy, maintaining aesthetics and convenience, with adjustable light angles and power management through a control circuit and charging module.
Implementation Method 1
a reflecting layer, the reflecting layer being formed on the lens and configured to reflect light from the light source component, so that the light is reflected to the eyes of a user
