Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia devices are large, inconvenient to carry and store, and require complex assembly. Additionally, their display screens cannot be easily adjusted in terms of angle or height.

Innovation Solution

A briefcase design smart screen with an upper housing containing a speaker assembly and a lower housing with a control assembly and display assembly, allowing for easy carrying, compact layout, and flexible adjustment of the display screen's angle and height.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing multimedia devices are designed with fixed display screens, then the device structure is simple, but the display screen cannot be adjusted in angle or height

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen adjustabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is transformed from a fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure through the addition of a rotating shaft mechanism. The rotating shaft allows the display screen to rotate and adjust to different angles and heights, making the device adaptable to various user needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If existing multimedia devices are designed as large integrated units, then the device has complete functions, but it is inconvenient to carry and store

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoiddevice volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display assembly is designed to be nestable within the housing when not in use. The rotating shaft mechanism allows the display screen to be folded back and stored inside the device body, transforming a large integrated unit into a compact portable form factor that maintains all necessary functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Ease of manufacture

If existing multimedia devices require complex assembly structures, then the device is stable, but it requires time-consuming and complex assembly and erection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoiddevice stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is segmented into modular components including the housing, display assembly, and rotating shaft mechanism. This segmentation allows for simpler manufacturing and assembly of individual parts while maintaining overall device stability through proper mechanical connections. The modular design enables easier assembly and disassembly without compromising structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
