Solution Overview

Problem

Head-mounted electronic devices with front-mounted batteries experience stability issues when transitioning between upright and reclining states due to the center of gravity shifting, affecting wearing comfort and stability.

Innovation Solution

A head-mounted electronic device design featuring a detachable battery connection system, allowing the battery to be mounted on either the device body or a functional part opposite to the body, adjusting the center of gravity based on user posture, with a secondary battery for continuous power during state changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the battery is front-mounted to facilitate reclining state usage, then the quantity and thickness of components at the rear are reduced, but the device becomes unstable when used in upright or sitting states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage comfort in reclining stateVSAvoidwearing stability in upright state
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The battery mounting position is made adjustable rather than fixed, allowing the device to adapt its center of gravity based on usage posture. The battery can be dynamically repositioned between front and rear mounting locations to optimize stability for different states (reclining vs. upright/sitting).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The position parameter of the battery is changed between two discrete locations (front and rear) to alter the device's center of gravity. This parameter change allows the device to transition from a fixed configuration to a configurable one, resolving the stability conflict between different usage states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If the battery is rear-mounted to balance the device in upright state, then wearing stability is improved, but the device becomes less comfortable when used in reclining state due to increased components at the rear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewearing stability in upright stateVSAvoidusage comfort in reclining state
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The battery mounting position is made adjustable rather than fixed, allowing the device to adapt its center of gravity based on usage posture. The battery can be dynamically repositioned between front and rear mounting locations to optimize stability for different states (reclining vs. upright/sitting).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The position parameter of the battery is changed between two discrete locations (front and rear) to alter the device's center of gravity. This parameter change allows the device to transition from a fixed configuration to a configurable one, resolving the stability conflict between different usage states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If the battery is fixed in one position, then the device structure is simplified, but the device cannot adapt to different usage states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery mounting structureVSAvoidadaptability to different usage states
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The battery mounting system is designed with multi-functionality, allowing the same battery to serve in different positions (front or rear) depending on usage requirements. The mounting structure incorporates multiple mounting locations and a switching mechanism, enabling one component to fulfill multiple functional roles across different usage scenarios.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The battery mounting position is made adjustable rather than fixed, allowing the device to adapt its center of gravity based on usage posture. The battery can be dynamically repositioned between front and rear mounting locations to optimize stability for different states (reclining vs. upright/sitting).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
