Solution Overview

Problem

Head-mounted display devices face issues with remote controller storage and carrying convenience, as well as heat dissipation due to structural limitations, leading to potential overheating and user experience problems.

Innovation Solution

A head-mounted display device design incorporating a front cover with a through hole to securely store and fix the remote controller, allowing for easy integration with the device body and improving heat dissipation by allowing direct airflow when the display is inserted, utilizing sliding pin mechanisms, damping members, and a strap for secure fixation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the remote controller is stored separately from the head-mounted display device, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the remote controller is easy to lose and inconvenient to carry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidcarrying convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the remote controller storage function into the head-mounted display device by providing a dedicated storage space within the device body. This merging of functions allows the remote controller to be conveniently stored and carried together with the main device, eliminating the risk of loss while maintaining simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Device complexity

If the front cover is fixed to the device body, then the structure is simple and stable, but the display area is difficult to clean and prone to foreign object accumulation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidcleaning accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the front cover from the device body, making them separate components. This segmentation allows the front cover to be easily removed for cleaning the display area, while the device body maintains its structural stability. The front cover can be detached to access and clean the display surface without disassembling the entire device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If the display is inserted between the front cover and device body, then the display is securely held, but heat dissipation is limited causing overheating

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay fixationVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a movable front cover that can switch between a first position (for secure display fixation) and a second position (for heat dissipation). When the display is being used, the front cover is in the first position to hold the display securely. When heat dissipation is needed, the front cover can be moved to the second position to allow better airflow and heat release, thus dynamically adapting to different operational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
