Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lighting apparatuses have fixed lighting positions, making it impossible to adjust the lighting angle and range, which fails to meet diverse user needs, leading to resource wastage and increased costs due to the need for multiple devices.

Innovation Solution

A lighting apparatus with a telescopic sleeve rod and hinged light-emitting modules that can adjust height and angle, allowing for flexible lighting directions and ranges, and includes a storage battery for portable use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the lighting apparatus uses fixed lighting positions, then the structure is simple and stable, but the lighting angle and range cannot be adjusted, failing to meet diverse user needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of lighting angle and rangeVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting apparatus is divided into multiple light-emitting modules that can be independently adjusted. Each module can be rotated and positioned separately, allowing flexible adjustment of lighting angles and ranges without requiring complex integrated mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustability through rotating mechanisms and telescopic structures. The light-emitting modules can rotate around the main body, and the telescopic rod can extend and retract, enabling the lighting apparatus to adapt to different lighting requirements dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lighting apparatuses are purchased to meet different user needs, then diverse lighting requirements are satisfied, but resource wastage increases, costs increase, and storage space is consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediversified lighting functionsVSAvoidnumber of devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting apparatus is designed with multi-functionality, capable of providing various lighting effects through adjustable angles, ranges, and intensities. A single device can replace multiple specialized lighting apparatuses, reducing the quantity of devices needed while satisfying diverse lighting requirements.

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

3Volume of moving object

If the lighting apparatus is made compact for storage, then storage space is saved, but the lighting height and range adjustment capability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage volumeVSAvoidlighting height
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The telescopic rod and rotating light-emitting modules are designed to nest within the main body when not in use. The rod can retract into the housing, and the modules can be folded or rotated into compact positions, allowing the apparatus to occupy minimal storage space while maintaining full adjustment capability during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
