Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional lamps are either too large for convenient carrying, lack versatility in lighting angle and range, or fail to meet multi-occasion applications, with insufficient brightness and inconvenient outdoor lighting.

Innovation Solution

A rotary folding lamp with multiple light emitting parts that can be rotated and folded 360°, featuring a support assembly, light emitting assembly, rotation assembly, and folding assembly, allowing for adjustable lighting angles and ranges, and multiple lighting modes, with manual or automatic operation and rechargeable design.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the lamp is made compact and portable, then ease of carrying is improved, but lighting range and illumination area are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of carryingVSAvoidlighting range
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The lamp employs a rotatable light emitting assembly that can rotate 360 degrees around the support assembly, transforming a static lighting structure into a dynamic one. This allows the compact lamp to cover a large illumination area by rotating the light source, effectively resolving the contradiction between compact size and lighting range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces rotational movement in a third dimension, allowing the light emitting assembly to rotate around the support assembly. This dimensional addition enables the lamp to expand its lighting coverage from a fixed cone to a rotating fan-shaped area, achieving large lighting range while maintaining compact portability.

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

2Ease of manufacture

If the lamp structure is simplified, then ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to different lighting angles and ranges is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidlighting angle adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The light emitting assembly is designed with rotational capability, allowing it to adjust lighting angles dynamically. This dynamic structure provides adaptability to different lighting requirements without requiring multiple fixed-position lamps, thus maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The single rotatable light emitting assembly serves multiple functions by providing adjustable lighting angles and ranges through rotation. This universal design eliminates the need for multiple specialized lamps, simplifying manufacturing while achieving adaptability to various lighting scenarios.

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

3Device complexity

If the lamp is designed for fixed lighting angle, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to multi-occasion applications is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidmulti-occasion application
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed lighting angle design into a dynamic rotatable structure. The light emitting assembly can rotate to any angle, providing adaptability to multiple occasions while maintaining relatively simple device complexity through a single rotational mechanism rather than multiple fixed-position systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
