Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If permanent illumination is used with button switching, then the lamp structure is simple, but energy is wasted due to inability to automatically switch off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy wasteVSAvoidlamp structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensor switch enables the lamp to automatically detect user presence and switch on/off without manual intervention, making the system self-regulating and eliminating energy waste from permanent illumination while maintaining operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual button switching mechanism is replaced with an automatic sensor-based control system that uses optical or motion sensing to determine when illumination is needed, substituting mechanical operation with automated detection and control

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

2Ease of operation

If fixed mounting is used, then the installation is simple, but the lamp is inconvenient to dismount for replacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedismount convenienceVSAvoidmounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure is divided into separable components (mounting base and adapter) that can be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing the lamp to be conveniently installed and removed without complex fixed mounting while maintaining installation simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic adjustable connection that allows easy assembly and disassembly through the separable mounting base and adapter components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If fixed illumination direction is used, then the structure is stable, but the illumination direction cannot be adjusted according to demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination direction adjustmentVSAvoidLED light panel connection
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The LED light panel connection changes from a fixed rigid mounting to a pivotable adjustable connection, allowing the illumination direction to be dynamically adjusted to different angles while maintaining structural stability through the pivot connection mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The LED light panel is given rotational freedom in a new dimension (angular adjustment), transforming the illumination from a single fixed direction to multiple adjustable directions within a 0-100 degree range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The present application discloses a solar lamp, comprising a main frame, a solar panel, an LED light panel, a sensor switch and a mounting base. The solar panel is fixed to the main frame. The LED light panel is movably connected to the main frame, and forms an included angle of 0-100 degrees with respect to a plane where the main frame is located. The sensor switch is mounted on a bottom face of the main frame, and is opposite the ground. The mounting base is connected to the main frame, and is provided with an adapter. The lamp senses presence and absence of a user via the sensor switch so as to switch on or off lights, thereby realizing effects of power saving and automatic switch-on and switch-off; and the illumination direction of the LED light panel is adjustable.
