Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a rollable display device is used to minimize exposed screen size, then the screen can be hidden when not in use, but the durability of flexible display decreases and the number of constituent components increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexposed screen sizeVSAvoiddurability of flexible display
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a movable stand base with wheel modules that can rotate and move the display device dynamically. The rotation plate can rotate 360 degrees and the wheel modules can roll the device, transforming a static display into a mobile one. This dynamic approach allows the display to be moved to optimal viewing positions without requiring flexible or rollable screens, thus maintaining screen durability while achieving screen minimization through repositioning rather than folding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Area of stationary object

If a rollable display device is used to minimize exposed screen size, then the screen can be hidden when not in use, but the number of constituent components of driving unit increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexposed screen sizeVSAvoidnumber of constituent components
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into the stand base structure. The base case integrates wheel housings, rotation plates, brake rings, and guide slots into a unified movable support system. This consolidation provides moving, rotating, braking, and guiding functions through a single integrated base structure rather than separate components, reducing overall device complexity while enabling the display to be repositioned and minimized to optimal viewing angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Temperature

If the gap between moving grilles is widened to discharge heat, then heat can be dissipated effectively, but internal components may be exposed outside

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipationVSAvoidexposure of internal components
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a nested structure where the display device is positioned within the base case and stand pillar assembly. The movable stand base with its integrated housing and guide slots provides containment while allowing controlled movement. This nested arrangement enables heat dissipation through designed ventilation pathways without requiring large gaps that would expose internal components, as the nested structure naturally protects internals while permitting thermal management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A movable stand base, of the present invention, comprises: a base case; a wheel housing inserted from the lower part of the base case; a wheel module accommodated in the wheel housing; a rotation plate rotatably coupled to the base case; and a brake ring, which is positioned inside the wheel housing, rotates during rotation of the rotation plate and moves in the vertical direction, makes contact with a wheel of the wheel module during lowering of the brake ring so as to restrict rotation of the wheel, uses the wheel so as to facilitate movement, and can restrict rotation of the wheel so that stability can be increased during mounting.
