Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lighting device is designed with fixed light direction, then the device structure is simple, but the lighting flexibility and adaptability are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting flexibilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the light source housing rotatable relative to the base housing through a rotation mechanism. The light source housing can be adjusted to different angles and positions, transforming from a fixed structure to a dynamic one. This allows the lighting direction to be changed according to different application scenarios, improving lighting flexibility without significantly complicating the overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the lighting device is designed with adjustable light direction, then the lighting flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight direction adjustabilityVSAvoidmechanical structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the lighting device into distinct modular components: a base housing and a separately rotatable light source housing. This modular design allows the light source housing to be independently adjusted without affecting the stability of the base structure. The segmentation enables flexible light direction adjustment while keeping each component's structure relatively simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the lighting device uses traditional fixed structure, then the manufacturing cost is low, but the user convenience and application range are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The rotation mechanism between the base housing and light source housing enables users to conveniently adjust the lighting direction according to their needs. This dynamic adjustment capability significantly improves user convenience and expands the application range of the lighting device, while the mechanical rotation structure remains relatively simple to manufacture using conventional processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A lighting apparatus includes a light source module, a light source housing, a rotation ring and a surface rim. The light source module includes a LED module. The light source housing has a light opening for disposing the light source module within the light source housing for a light of the light source module to pass through the light opening. The rotation ring has a pair of rotation connectors on opposite sides of the rotation ring for fixing the light source housing and for allowing the light source housing to rotate along a first axis of the pair of rotation connectors. The surface rim has a circular inner wall. The rotation ring is manually rotatable along a second axis of the circular inner wall for a second rotation movement.
