Detachable Display Screen for Full-Face Diving Masks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing full-face diving masks with fixed display screens obstruct the diver's view and lack flexibility, as the screen cannot be easily adjusted or removed, leading to increased costs when damaged.
Innovation Solution
A detachable display screen system for the full-face diving mask, featuring a first connecting portion on the mask body and a second connecting portion on the screen, allowing for secure yet removable attachment, with a base, support rod, and slide grooves for easy detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display screen is fixed to the top of the full-face diving mask, then the display screen is securely attached, but the diver's visual view is obstructed and the display screen cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The diving mask system is divided into separate functional modules: the full-face mask body and the display screen are detached from each other. The display screen is mounted on a separate mounting plate that can be independently attached to or removed from the mask body, allowing the diver to adjust or remove the screen without affecting the mask's core functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting plate incorporates a detachable connection mechanism with locking components that allow the display screen to be securely fixed when needed and easily removed when not needed. This dynamic attachment system transitions between locked and unlocked states, providing both secure attachment and ease of adjustment.
2Device complexity
If the display screen is integrally connected with the intake tube, then the structure is simplified, but the display screen cannot be removed or replaced, increasing costs when damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen assembly is segmented from the main mask structure through the use of a separate mounting plate. This allows the screen to be independently removed and replaced without affecting the integrity of the mask body or intake tube, reducing repair costs and improving maintenance ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable mounting plate allows the display screen to be easily discarded (removed) when damaged and replaced with a new or spare screen. The mounting plate itself can be retained and reused, while only the inexpensive screen component needs replacement, reducing overall repair costs.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the display screen is fixed in position, then the structure is stable, but the diving mask lacks flexibility for different diving activities
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting plate provides a dynamic attachment system that allows the display screen to be securely fixed during activities requiring monitoring, and easily removed during activities where the screen is unnecessary. This transforms the rigid fixed structure into a flexible configurable system.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable mounting plate serves multiple functions: it provides secure mounting when the screen is needed, allows easy removal when not needed, and can potentially accommodate different types of display screens or monitoring devices. This universal mounting solution adapts to various diving activity requirements.

AI summary
A full-face diving mask includes a full-face mask body, an intake tube, and a detachable display screen. The full-face mask body includes an outer frame, a soft rubber mask part, and a hard lens mask part. The display screen is detachably mounted to the lower end of the full-face mask body, which not only makes the diver's view more comfortable when diving underwater but also facilitates adjustment. Moreover, it is convenient to replace the display screen, which improves the flexibility of using the full-face diving mask.
