Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a display device has a fixed stand structure, then the structural stability is maintained, but the adjustability and user convenience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is divided into multiple functional modules: a base, a rotating plate for horizontal rotation, a holder, and a tilting assembly with rotating body. Each module performs a specific function, allowing independent adjustment of rotation and tilting while maintaining overall structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The stand transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The rotating plate enables horizontal rotation about a first rotational axis, while the tilting assembly enables vertical tilting about a second rotational axis. This dynamic capability allows the display device to adapt to different viewing angles and positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If rotation and tilting functions are integrated into one mechanism, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to independently control rotation and tilting is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent controlVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment mechanism is segmented into two independent subsystems: a rotational assembly with a rotating plate for horizontal rotation, and a tilting assembly with a rotating body for vertical tilting. Each subsystem can be controlled independently, allowing users to adjust rotation and tilting separately without interfering with each other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The tilting assembly is nested within the rotational assembly structure. The rotating body of the tilting assembly is positioned within the rotating plate structure, allowing both functions to be integrated in a compact form while maintaining independent operation. The holder fixed to the stand supports the rotating body, which in turn supports the rotating plate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If elastic members are added to support the rotating body, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidcomponent quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Elastic members are pre-installed to support the rotating body of the tilting assembly. These elastic members provide inherent cushioning and stability to the structure, absorbing shocks and maintaining proper positioning during rotation and tilting operations, thereby improving reliability before any operational stress occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
