Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual adjustment is used for display positioning, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates and adaptability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated electromechanical system. A driving module with a motor drives a gear mechanism that rotates the rotating element, thereby automatically adjusting the upright's angle and position without manual intervention. This substitution of manual operation with an automated drive system resolves the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates sensors that detect the user's face position and automatically control the driving module to adjust the display positioning. The device serves itself by using sensor feedback to autonomously determine and execute positioning adjustments, eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining ease of use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual adjustment is used for display positioning, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates sensors that detect the user's face position and provide feedback to the controlling module. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts the display angle and position to track the user's face movements. This feedback mechanism enables the device to adapt to different user positions and environments, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static manual adjustment mechanism to a dynamic automated positioning system. The rotating element can rotate to different angles, and the upright can be positioned at various orientations based on real-time sensor detection. This dynamic capability allows the display to adapt to different user positions and viewing angles, enhancing versatility while managing complexity through automated control.
3Adaptability or versatility
If automatic adjustment with sensors and driving module is implemented, then ease of operation improves and adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The driving module serves multiple functions: it drives the gear mechanism to rotate the rotating element, positions the upright at different angles, and responds to sensor feedback for automatic tracking. By consolidating these functions into a single integrated driving system, the patent manages device complexity while achieving high adaptability and ease of operation.
