Innovation Solution
A universal module design for USB units and outlet units that includes a compact, modular structure with quickly charging USB ports capable of delivering 1.0 Amp to 5 Amps, compatible with multiple device types, and equipped with safety certifications to eliminate the need for separate certifications for each device, using conductive pieces, circuit boards, and transformers to convert AC to DC power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a universal module design with quickly charging USB ports is implemented, then charging speed and efficiency are improved, but device complexity and certification requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal module design that can charge multiple types of electronic devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras) through a single USB interface. The module provides quickly charging capability with currents ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 Amps, eliminating the need for device-specific charging solutions and reducing overall system complexity despite the high functionality.
2Productivity
If high current capacity USB ports (1.0-5.0 Amps) are provided, then charging efficiency is improved, but safety risks and overheating potential increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates safety certification mechanisms that convert the potential harmful effect of high current into a controlled and safe operation. The module is designed with built-in safety features and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that the high current capacity (1.0-5.0 Amps) does not result in overheating or safety hazards, thereby enabling efficient charging while mitigating risks.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple USB charging ports with different current capacities are provided, then adaptability to different devices is improved, but manufacturing complexity and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides USB charging ports with current capacities that exceed the minimum requirements for most devices (offering 1.0, 2.1, 3.1, and 5.0 Amp options). This excessive action approach allows a single universal module to accommodate all device types without requiring multiple specialized ports, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

AI summary
Quickly USB Charging ports for lighting device has USB charging-ports which meet 2007 released specification has minimum 1.0 Amp to 5 Amp at DC 5 Volt safety and quickly charging capacity to quickly charge DC current into energy-storage unit or assembly inside the other electric or digital product(s) without high voltage DC current for overheat and fire risk and, optionally, additional outlet-units, to supply AC current to other electric or digital devices including smart phone, computer, communication, consumer electric products. The USB-unit(s) or USB-Module(s) or Outlet-unit(s) fit within or install on anywhere of the item's housing including anywhere of the base, pole, bar, stand, step, contour, edge, walls. The said USB charger only has charging function no any data transmit and only have one input power source not more than one and charging capacity minimum 1.0 Amp up for quickly charge from USB-Charging-ports by 2 male USB-plugs' USB-wire to the device's female USB-ports. The device has 2nd or more circuit-inside of device's housing to supply the current to other functions including other light source, LEDs, Plurality of LEDs has different colors, controller, switch, sensor, motion sensor, PIR, remote controller, IP cam and related IR photo-diode or wireless communication for big current needed which may use 2nd transformer to supply big Amperage and different working voltage to prevent from 1 transformer not only supply USB Charging-ports(s) but also Big Power consumption for LEDs or other light source or other functions need power.
