Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional microphone stands have limited one-dimensional adjustment mechanisms, restricting angle and height adjustments, and often occupy excessive space due to their design, making them inconvenient for use and storage in limited spaces.

Innovation Solution

A multi-dimensional microphone stand with a scissor-like structure incorporating multiple rotational modules and arms, allowing for adjustable angles and compact folding, along with a rotational positioning device for torque control and stability, and a shockproof mount for improved usability and reduced storage volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional microphone stand with one-dimensional adjustment mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but the angle and height adjustment range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle and height adjustment rangeVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional adjustment to multi-dimensional adjustment by incorporating multiple rotational modules that enable rotation around different axes. The first rotational module allows rotation around a first axis, the second rotational module around a second axis perpendicular to the first, and the third rotational module around a third axis, creating three-dimensional adjustment capability for the microphone stand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a four-bar linkage structure is used to achieve adjustment, then the adjustment range is improved, but the volume becomes huge and inconvenient for use in limited space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment rangeVSAvoidmicrophone stand volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the adjustment mechanism into multiple independent rotational modules (first, second, and third rotational modules) connected in series along the rotational arm. Each module provides rotation around a specific axis, allowing the system to achieve complex multi-dimensional adjustment while keeping each individual module compact and manageable in size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple rotational modules are added to achieve multi-dimensional adjustment, then the adjustment flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-dimensional adjustment capabilityVSAvoidrotational module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple rotational functions into an integrated assembly where the first, second, and third rotational modules are connected in sequence along the rotational arm. This combining approach allows the system to achieve three-dimensional adjustment capability while maintaining a unified, coordinated structure rather than separate independent mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A multi-dimensional microphone stand includes a first rotational module, a first rotational arm, a second rotational module, a second rotational arm, and a third rotational module. The first rotational arm is connected to the first rotational module, and the second rotational module is connected to the first rotational arm, and the first rotational module is rotatable relative to the second rotational module. The second rotational arm is connected to the second rotational module, the third rotational module is connected to the second rotational arm, and the second rotational module is rotatable relative to the third rotational module. In addition, in a folded state, the first rotational arm and the second rotational arm are arranged side by side and connected to the second rotational module in parallel.
