Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional projectors are not portable or convenient due to their fixed square structures, which restrict their placement and angle adjustments, and have complex repair and replacement processes.

Innovation Solution

A split-type projector with a rotating unit at the joint, comprising a main shaft, fixed and movable lateral plates, a limiting ring, cushions, and a force regulating spring plate, allowing angular adjustment and easy installation and dismantling, with magnetic fitting units for secure connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional projectors use a fixed square structure, then the structure is simple and stable, but the placement flexibility and angle adjustment capability are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplacement flexibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projector housing is divided into a first housing and a second housing that can be relatively rotated about a rotating unit. This segmentation allows independent angular adjustment of each housing section, enabling flexible placement at different positions and angles while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotating unit enables the second housing to rotate relative to the first housing, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic one. This allows the projector to adapt to different placement positions and projection angles by adjusting the rotation angle, while the rotating unit itself maintains a compact design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of repair

If traditional projectors use an integrated design, then the overall structure is compact, but the repair and parts replacement are complicated and troublesome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparts replacement easeVSAvoiddesign complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The projector is divided into a first housing and a second housing connected by a rotating unit. This segmentation allows independent access to different components located in separate housings, making repair and parts replacement easier without requiring disassembly of the entire integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If traditional projectors have a fixed structure, then the manufacturing is simple, but the portability and convenience are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating unit enables the second housing to rotate relative to the first housing, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic one. This allows the projector to adapt to different placement positions and projection angles by adjusting the rotation angle, while the rotating unit itself maintains a compact design.

Inventive Principle:
