Reconfigurable Stage Lighting Structure for Spherical-to-Columnar Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stage lighting apparatuses are limited to either spherical or columnar lighting states and cannot switch between them.
Innovation Solution
A stage lighting apparatus with adjustable lighting properties, featuring a design that allows switching between spherical and columnar lighting states through a mechanism involving hemispherical shells, rotating shafts, servo motors, and snap-fitted lamp tube components, enabling both annular and linear arrangements of lamp tubes, and color block rotation for adjustable lighting effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the stage lighting apparatus is designed to provide only one lighting state (spherical or columnar), then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability is poor and cannot switch between different lighting states
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting apparatus is divided into two hemispherical shells (A and B) that can be separated and reconfigured. The lamp tube components are segmented and can be arranged differently within the shells, allowing switching between spherical and columnar lighting states while maintaining manageable structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The hemispherical shells are designed to be movable and reconfigurable rather than fixed. The support frame allows the shells to be opened, closed, and repositioned, enabling dynamic switching between different lighting configurations. This dynamic design provides adaptability without requiring completely separate apparatuses for each lighting state
2Adaptability or versatility
If the hemispherical shell is designed to be always closed to maintain spherical lighting, then the spherical lighting effect is consistent, but the ability to switch to columnar lighting is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The hemispherical shell is designed with movable joints and support frames that allow it to transition between closed (spherical) and open (columnar) states. The rotating shafts and snap-fit connections enable controlled opening and closing while maintaining structural integrity in both configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The support frame and connecting members are nested within the hemispherical shell structure, allowing them to be compact when the shell is closed for spherical lighting, and extended when the shell is opened for columnar lighting. This nesting enables configuration switching without permanent structural changes
3Adaptability or versatility
If the lamp tube components are fixed in an annular array to provide spherical lighting, then the spherical lighting effect is maintained, but the ability to form linear arrays for columnar lighting is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp tube components are individually segmented and mounted on separate connecting members that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows each lamp tube to be moved from its annular position to a linear arrangement without requiring complex centralized positioning mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
Connecting members act as intermediaries between the lamp tube components and the hemispherical shell structure. These connecting members provide mounting points that allow lamp tubes to be easily repositioned between annular and linear configurations, simplifying the overall positioning mechanism

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a stage lighting apparatus with adjustable lighting properties and an adjustment method therefor, and relates to the field of stage lighting apparatuses and enables convenient switching between two lighting states. The apparatus comprises a base, with a support frame fixedly connected to an upper end of the base. Two ends of the support frame are movably connected to a hemispherical shell A via rotating shafts. One side of the hemispherical shell A is snap-fitted to a hemispherical shell B. A rotating mating post B is movably disposed at lower ends of the hemispherical shell A and the hemispherical shell B. A servo motor is fixedly connected to a middle portion of the support frame.
