Vehicle Display Screen Mounting Assembly with Deformable Brackets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicle display screens face various load conditions, including dynamic events, which existing mounting assemblies fail to adequately address, leading to inefficient load distribution and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle display screen mounting assembly featuring a housing with protrusions and coupled brackets that allow the display screen to stroke, reducing load on the screen by providing flexible support through elongated apertures and deformable bracket configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a rigid mounting assembly is used to securely hold the display screen, then the display screen is firmly supported, but the load on the display screen during dynamic events increases and is not adequately reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly incorporates movable elements including elongated apertures that allow vertical movement of the display screen housing, and deformable bracket members that can flex under load. This dynamic capability enables the system to accommodate dynamic events while reducing peak loads on the display screen, resolving the contradiction between firm support and load reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket members are designed with varying thicknesses to create regions of different stiffness. The first bracket member has a first thickness and a second thickness that is less than the first thickness, creating a deformable region. This parameter variation allows the bracket to be rigid in some areas for support while being flexible in others for load reduction during dynamic events.
2Force
If a flexible mounting assembly is used to reduce load on the display screen, then the display screen is protected during dynamic events, but the support stability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is divided into multiple functional segments: fixed brackets for structural support, deformable bracket members for load reduction, and elongated apertures for controlled movement. This segmentation allows different parts to perform different functions - providing both stability and flexibility, resolving the contradiction between support stability and load reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting assembly combines rigid components (brackets, housing) with flexible elements (deformable bracket members, elongated aperture mechanisms) to create a composite structure. This composite design enables the system to maintain overall stability while incorporating flexible elements that reduce loads during dynamic events.
