Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional supporting arm uses secure fasteners to connect display, then connection reliability is improved, but detachment and reattachment becomes time-consuming and laborious

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiddetachment and reattachment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is divided into separate components: a connecting base with engaging panels and a display holding panel with engaging protrusions. This segmentation allows the display to be quickly detached and reattached while maintaining secure connection during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection mechanism transitions from a static fastened state to a dynamic state where the display can be easily detached and reattached. The engaging panels and protrusions allow for quick mechanical engagement and disengagement without tools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Strength

If conventional supporting arm uses secure fasteners to connect display, then connection strength is improved, but ease of operation for detachment becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidease of detachment
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection interface is segmented into multiple engaging panels and protrusions that distribute the connection strength across multiple points while allowing simple mechanical detachment through a single lifting motion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of requiring active manipulation to detach (unscrewing, unclipping), the design allows passive detachment by simply lifting the display upward, inverting the usual requirement of active disengagement actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Ease of operation

If conventional supporting arm uses simple connection mechanism, then ease of detachment is improved, but connection reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of detachmentVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system uses multiple engaging panels and protrusions that work together to provide both simple detachment operation and reliable connection. The segmented design ensures that each component contributes to both ease of operation and connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The engaging panels and protrusions merge simplicity of operation with reliability by combining a simple lifting motion for detachment with multiple engagement points that ensure secure connection during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A supporting arm assembly has an upper arm, a lower arm, a display-connecting device and a holding device. The lower arm is pivotally connected to the upper arm. The display-connecting device is mounted on the upper arm and has a pivotal pin, a connecting base, a display mount, an engaging panel and a display holding panel. The pivotal pin is mounted rotatably on the upper arm. The connecting base is connected pivotally to the pivotal pin. The display mount is mounted securely on the connecting base. The engaging panel is mounted in the display mount. The display holding panel is mounted detachably in the display mount and detachably engages the engaging panel by an engagement between at least one engaging protrusion and at least one engaging recess. The holding base is mounted on the lower arm at an end opposite to the upper arm.
