Folding Cover Sunshade for Display Accessory
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatus accessories lack comprehensive solutions for outdoor use, particularly in terms of sunlight blocking, device mounting, and integrated charging capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The accessory includes a folding cover forming a sunshade structure, a case body with multiple covers for protection and mounting, and a charging dock integrated into the lower cover for simultaneous charging of the display apparatus and peripheral devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a folding cover is added to block sunlight, then visibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The folding cover serves multiple functions: it blocks sunlight to improve visibility, provides physical protection for the display apparatus, and can be folded to different positions for various viewing angles. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by adding sunlight blocking capability without requiring separate dedicated components.
Solution Approach 2:
The folding cover is designed with flexible hinges allowing it to be dynamically adjusted between open and closed positions, enabling it to adapt to different outdoor lighting conditions while maintaining a compact form when not in use, thus adding functionality without permanent structural complexity.
2Reliability
If a case body with multiple covers is used for protection and mounting, then device protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The case body is segmented into multiple functional covers: a front cover with opening for display access, a rear cover for mounting hardware, and side covers for edge protection. Each segment serves a specific protective function, providing comprehensive protection while allowing modular assembly and disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The multiple covers are designed to nest together forming a complete protective case, with each cover fitting into or against the others to create a compact unified structure that provides multi-layered protection without excessive bulk.
3Ease of operation
If a charging dock is integrated into the lower cover, then charging convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The charging dock is merged with the lower cover of the case body, combining the protective function of the cover with the charging function. This integration allows the display apparatus to be charged while stored in the case, providing charging convenience without requiring a separate charging station or additional external components.
