Head-Mounted Display Connecting Rod Module for Rapid Vision Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of head-mounted display devices for virtual reality face inconvenience when switching between virtual and real vision fields, as they must remove the device, which can damage glasses or skin and requires readjustment upon re-use.
Innovation Solution
A head-mounted display device with a connecting rod module and fixing rack system that allows the display module to be quickly removed and repositioned using a sliding mechanism with arc-shaped ribs and a torsion spring, enabling rapid transition between virtual and real vision fields without the need for device readjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user removes the head-mounted display device to switch between virtual and real vision fields, then the user can change the sight line, but the device must be taken off and readjusted each time, causing inconvenience and reducing usability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism that allows the display module to move between a first position (covering eyes for virtual reality) and a second position (away from eyes for real vision). The connecting rod module with sliding member and arc-shaped rib enables rapid positional transition without removing the entire device, making the system adaptable to different usage states.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is segmented into a wearable device portion and a separately adjustable display module. This segmentation allows the display module to be independently positioned and adjusted relative to the wearable device, enabling quick switching between virtual and real vision fields without affecting the entire device structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display module is fixedly attached to the wearable device, then the structure is simple, but the user cannot quickly switch between virtual and real vision fields
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the fixed connection into a dynamic adjustable connection using the connecting rod module. The sliding member moving along the arc-shaped rib creates a mechanical linkage that provides multiple positions (first position for virtual reality, second position for real vision) while maintaining structural integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting rod module acts as an intermediary mechanism between the wearable device and display module. It provides the necessary mechanical interface for positional adjustment, mediating between the fixed wearable device structure and the movable display module requirements.
3Speed
If the display module is rapidly removed and repositioned, then switching between virtual and real vision fields is convenient, but the mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting rod module with sliding member and arc-shaped rib creates a dynamic mechanical system that enables rapid positioning. The arc-shaped rib guides the sliding member along a predetermined path, allowing quick transition between positions through simple sliding motion rather than complex multi-step adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The arc-shaped rib introduces a curved geometric element that guides the sliding member's motion path. This curved geometry simplifies the adjustment mechanism by providing a predetermined rotational arc path, enabling rapid positioning without complex control systems.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables rapid switching between virtual and real vision fields, preventing damage to glasses or skin and reducing user preparation time, thereby increasing the device's usability.
Implementation Method 1
the depressing component further includes an elastic member that abuts against the sunken portion and the suspending arm, respectively
Implementation Method 2
The connecting rod module includes a torsion spring element. The torsion spring element is sleeved on the pivot portion to respectively abut against the fixing rack and the support arm for elastically driving the connecting rod module and the display module to rotate
