Solution Overview

Problem

Existing rainbow projection lamps have complex structures, large volumes, and high production costs, failing to meet user needs for an effective rainbow projection effect.

Innovation Solution

A rainbow projection lamp with a light-permeable plate, hybrid/monochromatic light sources, and a circuit board, featuring arc-shaped through-holes that allow light to pass through and create a rainbow effect by separating colors, with optional light shielding and multiple light sources for enhanced color mixing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional rainbow projection lamps use multiple light sources, lenses and filter components, then the rainbow projection effect can be achieved, but the structure becomes complex and the volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverainbow projection effectVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes unnecessary components from the traditional rainbow projection lamp structure. By eliminating lenses and filter components, and reducing multiple light sources to a single light source with an arc-shaped through-hole, the design achieves rainbow projection effect while significantly simplifying the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the light path by introducing an arc-shaped through-hole in the light-permeable plate. This segmentation allows different wavelengths of light to be separated and projected at different positions, creating the rainbow effect through a simplified single-component structure rather than requiring multiple integrated components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If traditional rainbow projection lamps use multiple light sources and filter components, then the rainbow projection effect can be achieved, but the production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

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 solution provides a simple, cost-effective rainbow projection with rich and wonderful color effects by diffracting light through arc-shaped holes, offering a versatile and user-preferred lighting experience.

Implementation Method 1

Since wavelengths of different lights are different, and the lights will be diffracted when they pass through a slit, the positions of the diffracted lights will be different when the lights pass through the arc-shaped through-hole of the light-permeable plate
