Solution Overview

Problem

Current display devices lack flexibility in design, particularly in terms of opening and closing mechanisms, storage expansion, heat removal, rigidity, hinge mounting, and interference prevention, as well as adjustable tilt and level settings.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a head with a display panel, a base with a partitioned internal space, and a hinge system that allows rotational movement about a parallel axis, enabling the head to open and close the base, accommodate storage or speaker units, facilitate heat removal, secure the hinge connection, and adjust the display's tilt and level.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a hinged door method is used to open and close the base, then the display device gains flexibility in opening and closing, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening and closing flexibilityVSAvoidhinge mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base is divided into multiple sections with partition walls creating separate spaces, allowing independent opening and closing of different sections. The hinge mechanism is segmented into multiple connection points between the head and base, enabling controlled movement of specific base sections while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If storage or speaker units are added to expand functionality, then the adaptability increases, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage and speaker expansionVSAvoidcomponent integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base sections are designed with universal mounting structures that can accommodate different types of units (storage or speaker units). The partition walls and internal spaces are configured to support multiple functional configurations, allowing the same structural framework to serve different purposes based on user needs.

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

3Temperature

If heat removal structures are added, then the temperature control improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat removal efficiencyVSAvoidthermal management structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heat removal function is merged with the existing base structure and partition walls. The internal spaces created by partition walls serve dual purposes: organizing components and facilitating heat dissipation pathways. The base structure itself acts as a heat sink, eliminating the need for separate complex cooling systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Stability of the object's composition

If a partition wall divides the internal space into at least two spaces, then the organization and heat removal improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternal space organizationVSAvoidpartition structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The internal space is segmented into at least two distinct sections using partition walls. This segmentation provides organized compartments for different components while creating channels for heat removal. The partition walls are integrated into the base structure, providing structural support and spatial organization simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
