Guide Rail Base Station for Multi-Accessory Vehicle Display Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle accessories, such as mobile phone holders, typically support only a single electronic device and require multiple holders for multiple devices, leading to inconvenience and potential damage to vehicle components during repositioning.
Innovation Solution
A base station with interconnected guide rails mounted on the back side of a vehicle-mounted display screen, allowing multiple vehicle accessories to be mounted simultaneously and easily repositioned without damaging the vehicle components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple single-function holders are mounted in the vehicle, then each electronic device can be fixed, but the device complexity and layout confusion increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple single-function holders into one integrated base station with guide rails. This single multifunctional device can accommodate multiple electronic devices simultaneously, reducing the total number of separate holders needed and simplifying the overall mounting system while maintaining the ability to secure each device individually
Solution Approach 2:
The base station is designed as a universal mounting platform that can hold different types of electronic devices (mobile phones, tablets, navigation devices, etc.) through its guide rail system. This multifunctional design eliminates the need for separate specialized holders for each device type, thereby reducing device complexity and layout confusion
2Reliability
If vehicle accessories are mounted using adhesive or buckle methods, then fixation is achieved, but damage to vehicle components occurs during removal
Solution Approach 1:
The guide rail system employs a dynamic clamping mechanism that allows accessories to be securely fixed during use but easily removed when needed. The clamp arm can adjust its clamping force and position along the guide rail, providing reliable fixation during driving while enabling damage-free removal and repositioning, unlike static adhesive or buckle methods
Solution Approach 2:
The guide rail acts as an intermediary between the base station and the vehicle interior. Instead of directly attaching holders to vulnerable vehicle components using adhesive or buckles, the guide rail provides a robust mounting structure that distributes mechanical stress, allowing secure fixation without damaging the underlying vehicle components during installation or removal
3Stability of the object's composition
If accessories are mounted at fixed positions, then stable fixation is achieved, but repositioning requires removal and remounting which damages components
Solution Approach 1:
The guide rail system transforms the static mounting position into a dynamic one. Accessories can be freely moved along the guide rail to different positions and securely clamped at any location. This dynamic system maintains stable fixation during use while enabling easy repositioning without removal, solving the contradiction between mounting stability and repositioning convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The guide rail is divided into multiple segments or positions where accessories can be independently positioned. The clamp arm can engage at different locations along the guide rail, allowing accessories to be segmented and repositioned independently. This segmentation enables flexible repositioning while maintaining stable fixation at each chosen position
