Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional storage bags lack multifunctionality, particularly in outdoor settings where they cannot provide adequate lighting during power outages or in low-light conditions, limiting their utility in camping and other scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A storage bag design incorporating a lamp panel, see-through bag body, and battery compartment with lamp beads, allowing for both storage and lighting functions, powered by AA batteries with a key switch for convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional storage bags are used, then storage function is provided, but lighting function is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemultifunctionalityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the storage bag and lighting function into a single integrated device. The lamp panel is embedded within the storage bag structure, allowing the bag to serve both storage and lighting purposes simultaneously, thereby resolving the contradiction between multifunctionality and structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The storage bag is designed to perform multiple functions: storage of articles and provision of lighting. This universal design allows a single device to replace both a traditional storage bag and a separate lighting source, addressing the need for multifunctionality without significantly increasing complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If storage bag is designed with lighting function, then lighting capability is added, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting functionVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting components (lamp panel, lamp beads) are merged with the storage bag structure rather than being separate add-on elements. The lamp panel is positioned within the bag body, and the battery compartment is integrated into the upper cover, minimizing additional structural complexity while achieving lighting functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The lighting components are nested within the storage bag structure. The lamp panel is embedded in the bag body, the battery compartment is nested in the upper cover, and the see-through bag body is positioned within the lamp panel assembly, creating a compact integrated structure that reduces overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If battery compartment is added to storage bag, then lighting power source is provided, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The battery compartment is designed as a separate, removable module within the upper cover. This segmentation allows the battery compartment to be manufactured independently and then assembled into the final product, simplifying the manufacturing process while providing necessary power supply capability for the lighting function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
