HUD Angle-Adjusting Mechanism Using Nested Transmission Rod
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional head-up display (HUD) systems require additional space for adjusting the tilt angle of the reflecting plate, which increases the overall volume of the device.
Innovation Solution
An angle-adjusting mechanism is introduced, comprising a reflecting assembly, a transmission assembly, and a driving unit, where the transmission assembly includes a transmission rod and a connecting element, allowing the reflecting assembly to be moved within the existing space of the HUD without adding extra volume, utilizing a driving unit to adjust the tilt angle of the reflecting plate.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an adjusting mechanism is employed to adjust the tilt angle of the reflecting plate, then the tilt angle can be adjusted according to user need, but the volume of the HUD increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting mechanism is nested within the existing internal space of the HUD device. The transmission rod and connecting element are integrated into the housing structure, with the transmission rod positioned within the housing and the connecting element coupling the transmission rod to the reflecting plate assembly, allowing the mechanism to fit within the existing volume without adding external size
Solution Approach 2:
The adjusting mechanism utilizes the internal three-dimensional space of the HUD housing by positioning the transmission rod along the optical path direction and the connecting element in a lateral position, effectively using space in multiple dimensions within the housing rather than adding volume in a single direction
