Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional electronic candles lack a realistic and dynamic flame effect and fail to incorporate aromatherapy functions, limiting their use in creating a relaxing atmosphere while being safe and convenient.

Innovation Solution

An aroma candle lamp with a 3D swinging flame, featuring a housing with an electronic candle module and an aroma module, where the electronic candle module includes a simulating flame driven by a swing device and an aroma fan that disperses fragrance, creating a vivid flickering effect and aromatic experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional electronic candles are used, then safety and convenience are improved, but the flame effect becomes stiff and unrealistic

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidflame effect realism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing a swing device that drives the simulating flame to swing dynamically. The swing device includes a support block, swing bracket, magnet, and induction coil that generates variable magnetic fields to move the magnet, creating realistic flame motion. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining safety (electronic) while achieving realistic flame effects through dynamic movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical flame generation with an electronic swing device using magnetic fields. The induction coil generates variable magnetic fields that move the magnet, which in turn drives the swing bracket and simulating flame through magnetic field interaction rather than direct mechanical contact, achieving realistic flame motion while maintaining safety.

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

2Reliability

If traditional electronic candles are used, then safety is improved, but the functional variety deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidfunctional variety
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the electronic candle function with aromatherapy function into a single integrated device. The housing contains both the electronic candle module (with simulating flame and swing device) and the aroma module (with aroma component and aroma fan), allowing the device to provide both lighting and aromatherapy functions simultaneously, thus improving functional variety while maintaining safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional device that serves as both an electronic candle and an aromatherapy machine. The housing integrates multiple modules including the electronic candle module and aroma module, enabling the single device to perform lighting, atmosphere creation, and aromatherapy functions, thereby achieving universality and improved adaptability.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If aromatherapy function is added, then functional variety is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional varietyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the nested doll principle by nesting the aroma module components within the housing that already contains the electronic candle module. The aroma component and aroma fan are arranged within the housing structure, with the aroma fan positioned at the top portion of the aroma component, creating a compact integrated design that adds functionality without proportionally increasing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
