Bicycle Frame Display With Pressure-Driven Expandable Screen
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Riders face safety risks and disrupted cycling experiences when using mobile devices to view information while riding, as it diverts attention and wastes time, and existing solutions for displaying information on bicycles are cumbersome and require additional components.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle-mounted display system integrated into a bicycle's frame, utilizing a flexible display screen and pressure control unit that allows the display to expand and contract, eliminating the need for external brackets and enabling easy opening and closing of the display for information access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rigid display structure with external brackets is used, then the display is stable and secure, but the device complexity increases and ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display support function directly into the bicycle frame structure, eliminating separate external brackets. The frame tubes serve dual purposes as both structural support and display mounting, merging previously separate components into an integrated system that reduces overall complexity while maintaining stability
Solution Approach 2:
The bicycle frame is designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support for the vehicle and simultaneously serving as the mounting structure for the display unit. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for dedicated display brackets, reducing device complexity while ensuring reliable display support
2Reliability
If a fixed display structure is used, then the display is stable, but the ease of operation decreases due to inability to quickly open and close
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a fixed display structure to a dynamic one that can be easily opened and closed. The display unit is designed to rotate or fold relative to the frame, allowing riders to quickly access the display when needed and secure it when not in use, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining stability during use through proper mechanical constraints
3Adaptability or versatility
If additional external components are added for display support, then the display functionality is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display mounting function with the existing bicycle frame structure. Instead of adding separate external brackets and support components, the frame tubes are designed to directly accommodate and support the display unit, achieving full display functionality while minimizing additional components
Solution Approach 2:
The bicycle frame is designed to serve multiple functions including structural support, rider support, and display mounting. This universal design allows the same structural elements to perform multiple roles, eliminating the need for dedicated display support components and reducing overall device complexity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates safe and convenient access to information during cycling by allowing riders to control the display without additional components, enhancing the riding experience and safety by keeping hands free and minimizing distractions.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic air mattress (102) arranged on a rear housing of the flexible display screen (101)
Implementation Method 2
a pressure control unit (20) arranged within the vehicle, the pressure control unit (20) being configured to enable the display unit (10) to expand or contract
