Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If soft light panels with different atomization degrees are replaced to adjust light softness, then lighting effect requirements are met, but operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting effect adjustmentVSAvoidpanel replacement operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the atomization degree of the soft light panel adjustable through electrical control rather than requiring physical replacement. The control box receives control signals and dynamically adjusts the atomization degree of the electronically controlled atomization film, allowing the panel to adapt to different lighting requirements without manual intervention to replace panels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the atomization degree parameter of the soft light panel through electrical signals. The control box changes the operating parameters of the electronically controlled atomization film based on control signals, enabling continuous adjustment of light softness without physical panel replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If soft light panels are frequently replaced to match different shooting requirements, then lighting adaptability is improved, but shooting efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting requirement matchingVSAvoidshooting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables dynamic adjustment of the soft light panel's atomization degree through electrical control during shooting, eliminating the need to stop and replace panels between shots. The control box can quickly respond to different lighting requirements and adjust the panel in real-time, maintaining shooting efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical panel replacement with an electrical control system. Instead of mechanically swapping panels to adjust atomization degree, the system uses electrical signals to control the atomization film, thereby eliminating interruptions and maintaining continuous shooting capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If electronically controlled atomization film is used with voltage adjustment, then atomization degree becomes adjustable, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization degree adjustmentVSAvoidcontrol box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control box is designed with multi-functionality, integrating the inverter circuit module that can both drive the electronically controlled atomization film and provide voltage adjustment. This unified design reduces the need for separate control devices, thereby limiting the increase in overall system complexity while achieving adjustable atomization degree.

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