Modular VR All-In-One Housing for Component Upgrades
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional virtual reality (VR) apparatuses require re-designing the housing and developing new molds when upgrading components, prolonging production and marketing cycles and reducing market competitiveness.
Innovation Solution
A modular design for the VR apparatus, allowing components like the display module to be disassembled and adjusted within the frame assembly without altering the housing, enabling upgrades without mold redesign.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If components are upgraded in conventional VR apparatus, then hardware or optical system performance is improved, but housing structure must be re-designed and new molds must be developed, prolonging production and marketing cycle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the VR apparatus into modular components: a reusable housing and interchangeable functional modules (display module, optical lens assembly, circuit board). This segmentation allows individual modules to be upgraded independently without redesigning the housing, thus avoiding mold development time while maintaining adaptability for component upgrades.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing is designed with universal mounting structures and interfaces that can accommodate different generations of functional modules. The standardized mounting mechanisms enable the same housing to support upgraded components without structural modification, achieving multi-functionality across different product configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If housing structure is re-designed to accommodate upgraded components, then component compatibility is improved, but mold development cost and time are increased
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the housing from functional components, the patent eliminates the need to redesign the housing when upgrading modules. The housing remains a permanent, pre-molded component while only the interchangeable modules are replaced, directly reducing mold development requirements while maintaining component compatibility through standardized interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic configuration system where functional modules can be easily swapped in and out of the housing using standardized mounting mechanisms. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to accommodate upgraded components without permanent structural changes to the housing, avoiding costly mold redesigns.
