Lighting Console Screen Housing With Double-Pivot Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting control consoles have limited flexibility in adjusting the distance between the screens and the operator, restricting the ability to set an optimal viewing angle and spatial arrangement for control elements.
Innovation Solution
A double pivot bearing system is used to mount the screen housing, allowing rotational adjustment about two pivot axes, providing increased flexibility in setting the angle of view and distance between the control panel and screens, with synchronized pivot arms and optional drive motor for easier operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single articulation is used to mount the screen housing, then the structure is simple, but the adjusting range of the screen housing is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is segmented into two independent pivot axes (first pivot axis and second pivot axis) instead of using a single articulation. This segmentation allows the screen housing to be adjusted in multiple directions independently, significantly expanding the adjusting range while maintaining relatively simple individual pivot structures
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment mechanism transitions from one-dimensional (single pivot axis) to two-dimensional adjustment by introducing a second pivot axis that is perpendicular to the first. This dimensional change enables the screen housing to be positioned at various angles and distances, greatly enhancing adaptability
2Adaptability or versatility
If the screen housing is fixed at a set distance from the control panel, then the structure is stable, but the distance adjustment flexibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The screen housing mounting transitions from a fixed static position to a dynamic adjustable position through the implementation of two pivot axes with brakes. The brakes allow the system to maintain stable positions when set, while enabling easy repositioning when adjustment is needed, thus combining stability with flexibility
3Loss of information
If multiple screens are provided in the screen housing, then the information display capability is improved, but the weight of the screen housing increases
Solution Approach 1:
A counterweight mechanism is implemented to compensate for the increased weight of the screen housing when multiple screens are installed. The counterweight system balances the heavy screen housing, making it easier to adjust and position despite the increased mass, thus allowing multiple screens without proportionally increasing the operational difficulty
