Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If traditional electrical charging is used for the battery, then the mosquito killer lamp can operate indoors with stable power supply, but it cannot operate for long time during outdoor use without charging power supply

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation duration outdoorsVSAvoidadaptability to outdoor environment
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mosquito killer lamp is designed with dual charging capabilities: traditional electrical charging for indoor use and solar charging for outdoor use. The solar panel module enables the device to function independently in outdoor environments without access to electrical power supplies, thereby achieving multi-functionality and extended operational duration across different usage scenarios.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If solar panel module is added to enable outdoor solar charging, then outdoor usability is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutdoor usabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The solar panel module is integrated with the mounting shell of the mosquito killer lamp, combining the solar charging function with the existing structural framework. This merging approach allows the solar panel to be mounted on the outer surface of the mounting shell, sharing the same structural space and reducing overall device complexity while maintaining enhanced outdoor usability.

AI summary

A solar mosquito killer lamp includes a light emitted by the LED tube in the first light-emitting unit lures mosquitoes. The lured mosquitoes are killed through a high-voltage power grid. A battery and a circuit board arranged in a mounting shell supply power to the LED tube and the high-voltage power grid. Furthermore, a solar panel module electrically connected to the battery and the circuit board is provided, and can convert sunlight into electric energy and store the electric energy into the battery. Due to the solar panel module, compared with a mosquito killer lamp that only includes a single-layer solar panel, the mosquito killer lamp with the solar panel module enlarges an area of the solar panel, thereby improving the solar energy conversion efficiency. Therefore, the mosquito killer lamp can fully use the sunlight to achieve charging during outdoor use and is conductive to reducing the energy consumption.
