Solution Overview

Problem

Existing projection lamps have static light sources and films, limiting them to project only static patterns, which fail to attract attention effectively and provide a poor display effect.

Innovation Solution

A projection lamp design featuring a rotating lamp holder with a light source positioned eccentrically, driven by a motor, and a film between the light source and a light-transmitting sheet, allowing for dynamic pattern projection with changing light intensity and improved display effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a static light source and film are used in the projection lamp, then the structure is simple and stable, but the projection pattern is single and has no diversity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection pattern diversityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the light source rotate around the central axis of the lamp holder through a driving component. This rotation causes the light source to pass through different positions relative to the film, enabling dynamic projection patterns that change over time. The static structure is transformed into a dynamic system that can project diverse patterns while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a static light source is positioned at the center of the lamp holder, then the structure is simple and stable, but only static patterns can be projected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection pattern varietyVSAvoidlight source positioning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the asymmetry principle by positioning the light source away from the central axis of the lamp holder. This asymmetric positioning, combined with rotational movement, allows the light source to create varied projection patterns by passing through different spatial relationships with the film. The asymmetric arrangement enables pattern diversity without requiring complex positioning mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Adaptability or versatility

If the light source rotates around the central axis, then dynamic projection patterns are achieved, but the light intensity may become uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection pattern dynamicsVSAvoidlight intensity uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing the film as a mediator between the rotating light source and the projection surface. The film, positioned between the light source and the projection surface, helps to distribute and uniformize the light intensity. This intermediary element ensures that even as the light source rotates and changes position, the projected patterns maintain relatively uniform illumination while still displaying dynamic characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
