Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The stability of extendable screens in terminal devices is unstable during extension and contraction processes, affecting user experience due to mechanical complexity and noise issues.
Innovation Solution
A supporting apparatus with a support frame featuring an overturning curved surface and a driving mechanism with an extendable rod, where the rod is connected to the display screen, allowing it to push the frame during extension and pull it during contraction, maintaining tight attachment and reducing noise through a hydraulic and magnetic module.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional mechanical structures are used for screen extension and contraction, then the screen can be extended and contracted, but the stability becomes unstable and mechanical noise increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical extension/contraction structures with a magnetic field-based driving mechanism. The magnetic driving mechanism uses magnetic attraction and repulsion forces to achieve screen extension and contraction without complex mechanical linkages, thereby eliminating mechanical noise and improving stability during the extension/contraction process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hydraulic damping mechanism to control the screen's movement during extension and contraction. The hydraulic damper provides fluid resistance that smooths the movement process, preventing instability and oscillations that would occur with purely mechanical systems

Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a flexible support frame with an overturning curved surface that allows the screen to extend and contract through bending and deformation rather than rigid mechanical movements. This flexible structure simplifies the overall mechanism by eliminating the need for complex joints, bearings, and linkages
