Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display device is installed in a transport vehicle, then it can be used in various locations, but it becomes vulnerable to impacts and collisions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a cushioning member between the display device and the rear surface of the seat to absorb impact energy before it reaches the display device. This beforehand cushioning protects the display device from damage during collisions or sudden movements in transport vehicles, directly addressing the reliability concern while maintaining installation flexibility.
2Ease of operation
If the display device allows tilting motion at various angles, then it improves ease of operation and viewing comfort, but it reduces structural stability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic mounting structure that allows the display device to tilt within a controlled range while maintaining stability. The hinge mechanism enables rotational motion for adjusting viewing angles, while stoppers or limiting structures prevent excessive movement, thus balancing ease of operation with structural stability.
3Reliability
If the display device uses a secure installation structure, then it improves reliability and impact resistance, but it increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mounting structure into separate functional components: a mounting bracket, a hinge mechanism, a cushioning member, and adjustment components. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex structure more manageable, easier to assemble, and simpler to maintain while ensuring reliable installation safety.
