Solution Overview

Problem

Ordinary display devices, such as liquid crystal displays, are inconvenient to carry due to their size and fragility, making them prone to damage during handling, especially for professionals like photographers who need to check image colors outdoors.

Innovation Solution

A portable protection case with a hanger assembly that includes a fixed member, base, elastic member, and holder, providing an elastic force to buffer the display device and prevent collisions during handling, while allowing the display to be securely attached and easily carried.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the display device is carried without a protection case, then the device is convenient to carry, but the device is prone to collision and damage during handling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of carryingVSAvoiddamage resistance during handling
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by introducing an elastic member (spring) in the hanger assembly that preemptively cushions the display device against collision forces during handling. The elastic member absorbs impact energy before damage can occur, resolving the contradiction between ease of carrying and damage resistance.

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

2Reliability

If the display device is placed in a rigid protection case, then the device is protected from collision, but the device becomes inconvenient to carry due to increased weight and bulk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection from collisionVSAvoidconvenience of carrying
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs flexible shells and thin films by using an elastic member (spring) instead of a rigid protective structure. This flexible element provides collision protection while maintaining minimal weight and bulk, thus preserving ease of carrying while achieving reliable protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member serves as an intermediary between the display device and external collision forces. It mediates the interaction by absorbing impact energy elastically, providing protection without requiring a bulky rigid case, thereby maintaining convenience of carrying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If a hanger assembly with elastic member is added to protect the display device, then the device is safeguarded from collision, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedamage prevention during handlingVSAvoidstructure complexity of protection case
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies taking out by extracting only the essential protective function and implementing it through a simple elastic member in the hanger assembly, rather than using a complex rigid case structure. This minimalistic approach reduces device complexity while maintaining reliable protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The portable protection case effectively safeguards the display device from damage during handling by using an elastic member to absorb shocks and provide a stable, protective environment, enabling users to carry and use the device conveniently without risk of collision or damage.

Implementation Method 1

The elastic member is connected between the fixed member and the base for providing the base with an elastic force
