Problem

The assembly of head-mounted display devices with multiple camera components results in excessive volume due to the large space occupied by connector devices between camera components and the main circuit board, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A head-mounted display device design featuring a housing with stacked and insulated flexible connecting members for camera components, a parallel-mounted capacitor, and a compact circuit board arrangement to optimize space utilization and reduce volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If traditional connector devices are used to connect camera components to the main circuit board, then electrical connection is achieved, but the mounting space is excessively large and the device volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice volumeVSAvoidconnector device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential function of electrical connection from the traditional bulky connector device and implements it through flexible connecting members that are integrated into the circuit board structure. This removes the separate connector component and reduces overall device volume while maintaining the electrical connection function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from planar connector layouts to three-dimensional stacked arrangements of flexible connecting members. Multiple connecting members are arranged in different layers and connected through vertical vias, utilizing the Z-dimension to reduce the footprint area while maintaining all necessary electrical connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple camera components are assembled with separate connector devices, then each component is electrically connected, but the total mounting space becomes excessively large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting spaceVSAvoidelectrical connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate connector devices into a single integrated circuit board structure. Multiple flexible connecting members are combined into one board, with all electrical connections routed through integrated vias and traces, reducing the total mounting area while maintaining reliable electrical connections through the unified structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested arrangement where flexible connecting members are stacked in multiple layers, with lower layers positioned beneath upper layers. This nesting in the vertical dimension allows multiple camera components to be connected within a compact footprint, significantly reducing the required mounting area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
