Solution Overview

Problem

Current multifunctional emergency flashlights have fixed side lighting angles, limiting their effectiveness and requiring users to carry multiple devices, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A lighting device with a rotatable support that allows the lamp body to adjust its side lighting angle by rotating relative to a support, featuring a handle with a gripper and anti-skid ring for stability, and additional features like a magnetic block for quick fixation, focus-adjustable light, buzzer alarm, and waterproof design.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the side lighting angle is fixed, then the structure is simple, but the lighting flexibility is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting flexibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support is designed to be rotatable relative to the lamp body, allowing the side lighting angle to be dynamically adjusted from fixed to variable positions. The rotation center line passes through the lighting port, enabling the lighting direction to change while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple emergency lights are carried to provide different lighting angles, then the lighting coverage is improved, but the device portability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting coverageVSAvoiddevice portability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

A single emergency flashlight is designed with multi-functionality, incorporating both main lighting and side lighting functions in one device. The rotatable support allows one flashlight to provide multiple lighting angles, eliminating the need to carry multiple separate devices.

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

3Ease of manufacture

If the support structure is simplified, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the stability of the lamp body rotation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidrotation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A damping member is introduced as an intermediary element between the support and the lamp body. This damping member provides friction force that stabilizes the rotation, allowing the lamp body to remain at adjusted positions while maintaining the simplicity of the overall support structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

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

Enables stepless adjustment of side lighting angles, providing better lighting flexibility and convenience with additional functions like spotlight, floodlight, warning alarm, and power bank capabilities.

Implementation Method 1

an anti-skid ring is also provided between the above-mentioned annular groove wall and the gripper. The anti-skid ring acts as a damping member to provide a relatively large friction force, so that when the lamp body rotates and adjusts the angle, it can stay at any angle position.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectFriction: Friction

Implementation Method 2

the above-mentioned handle is provided with a magnetic block, so that the handle can be directly attached on the metal object, and the lamp can be quickly fixed.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetism: Magnetism

AI summary

An apparatus for a lighting device with a rotatable support includes a lamp body, the lamp body is provided with the support capable of rotating relative to the lamp body, the support is provided with a magnetic block, and a lighting port of the lamp body is arranged on the side wall of the lamp body toward the direction of the rotation center line of the support. When the adjustable lighting device is used, the support is fixed on a metal object in a place to be illuminated through the magnetic block and the side face direction of the lighting port of the lamp body can be adjusted by adjusting the lamp body to rotate relative to the support, and therefore the side face lighting angle of the lighting port is adjusted, and due to the fact that the lamp body can rotate relative to the support at any angle, stepless adjustment of the side lighting angle of the lighting port can be achieved.
