Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing spotlights use reserved patterns or texts on the lamp surface for projection, then pattern projection capability is achieved, but the lamp cannot simultaneously provide effective brightening and aesthetic radial pattern radiation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-use effect capabilityVSAvoidbrightening effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The lampshade is segmented into multiple outer convex lens portions (at least three) that are distributed around the peripheral side, each corresponding to an inner recess. This segmentation allows different regions of the lampshade to perform different functions: some areas provide brightening while others radiate aesthetic radial patterns, thereby achieving multi-use effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the lampshade are given different optical properties. The outer convex lens portions are designed with specific curvature and positioning to refract and converge light into radial patterns, while other areas maintain simple transparency for brightening. This local differentiation enables the lamp to simultaneously achieve both brightening and aesthetic radial pattern radiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If existing color-changing or simple pure-color brightening lamps are used, then brightening function is provided, but beautification effects are relatively simple and cannot meet diverse application requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightening functionVSAvoidbeautification effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The lampshade incorporates outer convex lens portions with curved surfaces that refract light to form radial patterns. The convex curvature of these lens portions is key to transforming ordinary light emission into aesthetically pleasing radial patterns, thereby enhancing beautification effects while maintaining the brightening function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention adds a new dimension to light radiation by creating radial patterns that extend outward from the lampshade. The inner recesses and corresponding outer convex lens portions work together to project light patterns in multiple directions, transforming simple omnidirectional illumination into structured radial patterns that enhance visual appeal.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If outer convex lens portions are added to the lampshade to refract and converge light into radial beams, then aesthetic radial pattern radiation is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveradial pattern radiation capabilityVSAvoidlamp structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The outer convex lens portions and inner recesses are integrated into a single lampshade structure, merging the light-refracting elements with the lampshade body. This integration reduces the need for separate components and simplifies assembly, thereby achieving radial pattern radiation without excessive complexity increase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The lampshade serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, enables light refraction through outer convex lens portions, creates radial patterns through inner recesses, and maintains transparency for brightening. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, keeping the overall device complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A lamp capable of radiating radial pattern is disclosed, comprising a base, a transparent lampshade provided with multiple outer convex lens portions on its circumferential side and an inner recesses provided between every two adjacent outer convex lens portions, and a luminous lamp assembly located between the base and the transparent lampshade and provided with multiple luminous lamp beads. Each lamp bead is arranged corresponding to each inner recess, so that light emitted by each lamp bead respectively enters the outer convex lens portion located on both sides of each corresponding inner recess and then is refracted and converged thereby to form a radiation beam located outside the transparent lampshade and gradually shrinking from the inside to the outside, thus to radiate a brightening pattern in a circumferentially radial shape, which can greatly improve the aesthetic property and also bring people a more impressive visual impact.
