Stage Illumination Reel Wire Segmentation for Power and Weight
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stage illumination systems face challenges with large and heavy elevation devices that increase the risk of structural load on ceilings, and small diameter reel wires used to reduce size may lead to insufficient power supply to light-emitting elements due to their limited capacity as both electric power and control cables.
Innovation Solution
An illumination system that includes a reel wire with separate control and power lines, allowing for efficient power supply to light-emitting elements regardless of reel wire diameter, using both a power supply and a battery to ensure consistent power delivery, and a controller to manage light emission and elevation operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of stationary object
If the diameter of the reel wire is reduced to make the elevation device smaller and lighter, then the size and weight of the elevation device are reduced, but the electric power supply capacity to the light-emitting element becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The reel wire is divided into two separate functions: a control wire for signal transmission and a power cable for electric power supply. This segmentation allows the control wire to have a small diameter for reduced weight and size, while the power cable can have sufficient thickness for adequate power delivery to the light-emitting element.
Solution Approach 2:
The reel wire structure is transformed to accommodate multiple functions: it serves both as a control signal transmission medium and as a power supply conduit. By integrating both control and power functions into the reel wire assembly, the system eliminates the trade-off between wire diameter and power capacity.
2Illumination intensity
If multiple elevation devices are suspended from the ceiling to provide gorgeous stage representation, then the illumination effect is enhanced, but the structural load on the ceiling increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The elevation device is segmented into functional components with the reel wire serving dual purposes. This segmentation enables weight reduction in the elevation device while maintaining illumination effectiveness, thereby reducing the structural load on the ceiling.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of wire diameter optimization by separating control and power functions. This allows the use of thinner control wires that reduce overall device weight, enabling multiple elevation devices to be suspended from the ceiling without excessive structural load while still achieving gorgeous stage representation.
3Device complexity
If a single cable serves both control and power functions, then the device structure is simplified, but the power supply capacity is limited by the cable diameter
Solution Approach 1:
The single cable is segmented into separate control wire and power cable components. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing each component to be optimized for its specific function: the control wire for signal transmission and the power cable for high-capacity power delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The solution moves from a one-dimensional single cable to a multi-dimensional cable assembly structure. The power cable and control wire are arranged in different spatial dimensions within the reel wire assembly, allowing both to coexist with optimal dimensions for their respective functions.
