Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional light emitting orientation is fixed and requires lamp replacement for adjustments, leading to increased operational complexity and costs due to the need for manual angle detection and configuration.
Innovation Solution
A zoom lamp design featuring a movable ring with guiding posts and resilient members that allows for infinite adjustment of light emitting orientation through a rotating ring mechanism, enabling the lens to move closer to or further from the light emitting component.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the light emitting orientation is changed by replacing the lamp, then the light emitting orientation can be adjusted, but the operational complexity and material costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a movable lens assembly that can dynamically adjust its position along the optical axis through a rotating ring mechanism with guiding posts and resilient members. This dynamic adjustment allows continuous change of light emitting orientation without replacing the entire lamp, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The zoom lamp integrates multiple functions into a single device: the rotating ring mechanism simultaneously provides angular adjustment, zoom capability through lens movement, and positioning functionality. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for multiple specialized lamps, reducing operational complexity while maintaining versatility
2Adaptability or versatility
If the light emitting orientation is changed by replacing the lamp, then the orientation can be adjusted, but material and logistical costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal lamp fixture that can perform multiple orientation adjustments and zoom functions, replacing the need for multiple specialized lamps. This single fixture handles all adjustment needs, significantly reducing material consumption and logistical costs associated with storing and deploying multiple lamp types
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic adjustment mechanism allows one lamp to serve multiple purposes by changing its orientation and zoom settings, eliminating the need to manufacture and deploy multiple static lamps for different orientations, thereby reducing material costs
3Adaptability or versatility
If the light emitting orientation is changed by replacing the lamp, then the orientation can be adjusted, but the adjustment process becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements smooth dynamic adjustment through a rotating ring mechanism with resilient members that provide continuous motion control. The guiding posts move along inclined grooves to enable precise lens positioning, making the adjustment process intuitive and easy to operate compared to discrete lamp replacement
Solution Approach 2:
The resilient members automatically provide reversed resistance during lens movement, creating a self-regulating mechanism that requires minimal operator effort. The system self-adjusts through the mechanical interaction of guiding posts with inclined grooves, simplifying the operation

AI summary
A zoom lamp includes a lamp body, a light emitting component, a movable ring, a lens, and a rotation ring. The lamp body defines a receiving groove. The movable ring includes a plurality of guiding posts protruding from an outer wall thereof and a plurality of resilient members. The lens is fixed to the movable ring. An external wall of the rotation ring is provided with a latching hook, the rotation ring defines a plurality of inclined grooves. When the rotating ring rotates, the guiding post is guided by the inclined groove to slide, thereby driving the lens to move adjacent to or away from the light emitting component.
