Motorized Rotating Display Supporter With Low-Noise Gear Sensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses struggle to efficiently utilize screen space due to fixed orientations, leading to inefficient use of display area when images with varying aspect ratios are displayed, and they often generate vibration and noise during rotation.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a rotating display module and supporter system, featuring a gear mechanism driven by a motor, with detection sensors and a flexible printed circuit board to manage rotation and reduce noise and vibration, allowing the display module to adjust orientation based on image aspect ratios and maintain efficient space utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display module is fixed in a single orientation, then the structure is simple and stable, but the screen space utilization is inefficient when images with varying aspect ratios are displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is made rotatable between horizontal and vertical orientations through a gear mechanism driven by a drive motor, allowing the system to dynamically adapt to different image aspect ratios. This dynamic configuration enables efficient screen space utilization for both landscape and portrait images while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a gear mechanism is used to rotate the display module, then the orientation adaptability is improved, but vibration and noise are generated during rotation
Solution Approach 1:
A damping member is provided between the gear and the housing to absorb and reduce vibration and noise generated during the rotation of the display module. This beforehand cushioning measure mitigates the harmful effects of the gear mechanism while maintaining its orientation-changing functionality.
3Length of moving object
If the display module and supporter are made thinner, then the aesthetics and space utilization are improved, but the structural strength and stability may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The supporter is constructed as an integrated composite structure combining the support body and holder, providing sufficient structural strength and stability despite a reduced overall thickness. This composite design maintains rigidity and load-bearing capacity while achieving a thinner profile for improved aesthetics and space utilization.
