Solution Overview

Problem

Existing head-mounted displays are inconvenient to wear and remove due to their design, and they often cause discomfort due to uneven weight distribution on the user's head and face.

Innovation Solution

A head-mounted display design featuring a host with installing grooves and bases, connection elements, and a head belt with adjustable connection portions and supporting points, allowing for easy belt removal and even weight distribution across the face and head.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the head belt is pivoted to the host via a pivot or locked via a screw, then the head-mounted display can be securely fixed, but it becomes inconvenient to wear or remove and the process is time consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fixationVSAvoidconvenience of wearing and removing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure is divided into separate components: installing bases fixed to the host, connection elements attached to the head belt, and installing grooves on the host. This segmentation allows the head belt to be quickly connected and disconnected without complex pivoting or screwing mechanisms, resolving the contradiction between secure fixation and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Weight of moving object

If the weight of the head-mounted display is applied to the head and face of the user, then the display can be supported, but if the weight distribution is uneven, the discomfort when the user wears the head-mounted display will be increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweight supportVSAvoidwearing comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The host is designed with specific weight distribution features including a supporting portion with supporting points positioned at locations that optimize weight distribution. The installing bases are positioned at specific locations on the host to balance the weight distribution, ensuring even load distribution across the user's head and face, thereby resolving the contradiction between weight support and wearing comfort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A head-mounted display includes a host, two installing bases, two connection elements and a head belt. The host has two installing grooves and two opposite sidewalls, and the two installing grooves respectively penetrate through the two sidewalls. The two installing bases are disposed in the host, wherein each installing base has an abutting portion and an installing portion connected to each other. The abutting portion of each installing base abuts against an inner edge of the corresponding sidewall, and the installing portion of each installing base is exposed outside of the host through the corresponding installing groove. The two connection elements are respectively installed onto the two installing portions of the two installing bases. The head belt has two opposite connection portions, and the two connection portions are respectively connected to the two connection elements.
