Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle-mounted display screen adjusting structures cannot effectively change the rotation direction or adjust the azimuth of the display screen to the best visual position, fail to avoid interference with the original vehicle, and do not meet the requirements of different vehicle types and user observation angles and habits.

Innovation Solution

A five-axis angular adjustment and azimuth rotation mechanism that includes a display screen assembly with a turning mechanism, first and second axial rotation mechanisms, and a second linear sliding mechanism, allowing for adjustments in upper and lower positions, pitch, left and right angles, and horizontal and vertical rotations, enabling 90-degree screen switching and avoiding obstructions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed mounting structure is used for the display screen, then the installation is simple and the structure is stable, but the display screen cannot be adjusted to different angles and positions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle adjustment capabilityVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure is divided into multiple independent adjustment mechanisms: a first linear sliding mechanism for horizontal movement, a first axial rotation mechanism for horizontal rotation, a second axial rotation mechanism for vertical rotation, and a third axial rotation mechanism for pitch angle adjustment. Each mechanism handles a specific degree of freedom, making the complex adjustment capability manageable and modular.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure transitions from a fixed state to a dynamically adjustable state through five independent adjustment mechanisms that enable horizontal movement, horizontal rotation, vertical rotation, pitch angle adjustment, and 90-degree switching. The structure can be adjusted during operation and fixed when needed, providing both flexibility and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen is fixed in one position, then the structure is simple, but it cannot avoid interference with the original vehicle or meet different user observation angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition and orientation adjustmentVSAvoidadjustment operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment functionality is segmented into five independent mechanisms, each responsible for a specific adjustment dimension. This segmentation allows operators to adjust only the necessary parameters without affecting other settings, making the operation more intuitive and manageable despite the multiple degrees of freedom.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is pre-configured with multiple adjustment mechanisms that can be set to optimal positions before use. The mechanisms include pre-designed sliding tracks, rotation axes, and locking features that guide the adjustment process and reduce the cognitive load on operators during installation and operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Area of moving object

If a large-size display screen is installed, then the display quality is improved, but the installation space requirement increases and may not fit all vehicle types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen sizeVSAvoidvehicle type compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure provides dynamic adjustment capabilities that allow a large display screen to be positioned and oriented to fit different vehicle interiors. The five-degree-of-freedom adjustment system enables the screen to reach optimal viewing positions while adapting to various space constraints and mounting locations across different vehicle types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is designed as a universal solution that can accommodate large display screens in various vehicle types through its multi-functional adjustment capabilities. The same mounting mechanism can adapt to different installation spaces, angles, and positions, making it suitable for trucks, buses, and other vehicle types without requiring vehicle-specific custom designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
