Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or position of the display panel, limiting their flexibility and stability, especially when used in various motion configurations such as pivot, tilt, and swivel motions independently.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that includes a head with a display panel, an arm, a pole, and a base, where the base features a weight and wheels for improved stability and mobility, allowing for independent pivot, tilt, and swivel motions, and enhanced standing stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display device uses a fixed stand structure, then manufacturing is simple, but the angle and position of the display panel cannot be freely adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The stand structure is divided into multiple independent segments: a base, a pole, an arm, and a head, where each segment can move independently. The arm is pivotally coupled to the head, allowing independent pivot motion, while the pole allows independent tilt motion, enabling the display panel to achieve various angles and positions through combination of these independent movements.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand structure transitions from a fixed configuration to a dynamic one with multiple degrees of freedom. The pivotal coupling between the arm and head enables rotation, while the pole's connection to the base allows tilting, creating a dynamically adjustable system that can adapt to different viewing angles and positions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display device allows multiple independent motions (pivot, tilt, swivel), then positioning flexibility improves, but structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each independent motion is achieved through a separate mechanical component: pivot motion through the arm's pivotal coupling, tilt motion through the pole's articulation with the base, and swivel motion through the base's rotation. This segmentation allows each degree of freedom to be implemented independently without interfering with others.
Solution Approach 2:
The base serves multiple functions: it provides a stable foundation, enables swivel motion for horizontal rotation, and supports the pole for tilt motion. The arm simultaneously provides structural support and enables pivot motion for angle adjustment, demonstrating multi-functionality that reduces overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If the base includes a weight and wheels, then standing stability and mobility improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A weight is incorporated into the base structure to provide counterbalance, improving standing stability by lowering the center of gravity and preventing tipping during motion. This counterweight principle ensures the display device remains stable even when the arm and head are positioned at various angles.
Solution Approach 2:
The base is designed with multi-functionality: it provides a stable standing foundation through its weighted structure, incorporates wheels for mobility when needed, and serves as the mounting point for the pole. This combination of functions in a single component improves reliability without requiring separate structures for each function.
