Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mirrors lack the ability to provide multi-angle light projection and cannot replace light assemblies according to user requirements, and lamp replacement is not feasible when the annular light supplementing lamp is damaged.
Innovation Solution
A mirror design featuring sliding rails and electrifying connectors that allow for the replacement and adjustment of light source assemblies, including lamps with adjustable positions, connected via conductive metal sheets and a driving power supply, enabling easy lamp replacement and multi-angle lighting options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an annular light supplementing lamp is fixed on the mirror periphery, then lighting function is provided, but the light source cannot be replaced when damaged and multi-angle light projection is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The light source assembly is segmented into a separate replaceable module that can be independently removed and replaced. The sliding rail structure divides the mirror system into a fixed body and a movable light source component, enabling replacement without affecting the entire mirror structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The light source assembly is designed with sliding capability along the mirror periphery, transforming from a static fixed position to a dynamic adjustable position. This allows the light source to move to different locations for multi-angle projection while maintaining electrical connection through sliding contacts.
2Ease of repair
If an annular light supplementing lamp is fixed on the mirror, then lighting is provided, but the lamp cannot be disassembled for replacement when beads are damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The light source assembly is segmented as a separate replaceable unit with clear boundaries from the mirror body. The sliding rail design provides a natural separation point, allowing users to easily detach and replace the entire light source module without complex disassembly procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The light source assembly is extracted as an independent functional module that can be removed from the mirror system. The sliding connection allows the light source to be taken out and replaced without affecting the mirror structure, simplifying repair operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed annular light supplementing lamp is used, then lighting function is achieved, but multi-angle light projection capability is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The light source assembly is designed to slide along the mirror periphery, enabling dynamic repositioning to different angles and locations. This sliding mechanism provides multi-angle light projection capability while maintaining a relatively simple structural implementation through linear guide rails.
