Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wired control systems are used for LED lighting apparatuses, then control functionality is achieved, but wiring complexity and installation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired control system with a wireless communication system. The lighting apparatus includes a wireless communication module that enables control signals to be transmitted wirelessly, eliminating the need for complex wiring infrastructure while maintaining full control functionality for individual and group lighting control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication module as an intermediary between the control system and the lighting apparatus. This module receives control signals wirelessly and translates them into operational commands, serving as a mediator that enables wireless control without requiring direct wired connections to each lighting device.
2Power
If conventional lighting apparatuses are used, then basic lighting function is provided, but heat radiation performance is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the heat dissipation function from the main lighting structure by incorporating a dedicated heat sink component. The heat sink is designed with extended surfaces and thermal conduction paths that actively remove heat from the LED light source, separating the lighting function from the thermal management function while improving overall heat radiation performance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If integrated lighting control systems are used, then group control capability is achieved, but installation and repair complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control system into independent wireless communication modules that can be individually installed in each lighting apparatus. Each module operates autonomously but can communicate with the control system to enable group control functionality. This modular approach allows for easy installation, replacement, and repair without affecting other lighting devices in the system.
