Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle monitors, when subjected to impact in accidents, can cause significant reaction forces that harm the human body due to their fixed installation, posing a hazard in car accidents.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the vehicle monitor is fixed on the vehicle skeleton, then the monitor is stable and secure during normal operation, but the monitor causes larger reaction force and harm to the human body during accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the fixed static mounting structure into a dynamic one by introducing an absorbing component that allows relative movement between the monitor and vehicle skeleton during impact. The absorbing component can deform or break under sufficient force, enabling the monitor to move dynamically during accidents to reduce reaction force on occupants.
Solution Approach 2:
The absorbing component is pre-installed between the monitor and vehicle skeleton to provide cushioning before impact occurs. This component is designed to deform or fail under impact conditions, absorbing energy and reducing the reaction force transmitted to the human body during accidents.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the monitor is made movable to reduce impact force, then the safety during accidents is improved, but the monitoring stability and reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the mechanical parameters of the mounting system by introducing an absorbing component with specific deformation characteristics. The component maintains rigidity under normal operating conditions to ensure monitoring reliability, but is designed to deform or break when impact force exceeds a threshold, thereby reducing harmful effects during accidents.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the absorbing component is designed to be weak to reduce impact force, then the safety is improved, but the support strength and load-bearing capacity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by designing the absorbing component with non-uniform structural characteristics. The component has specific weak points or deformation zones designed to fail first under impact, while other parts maintain sufficient strength for normal support. This allows the component to bear load during normal operation but deform controllably during impact to reduce reaction force.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The monitor holder effectively absorbs kinetic energy during collisions, reducing the risk of injury to the human body by allowing the monitor to move and deform, thereby minimizing the force exerted on the occupant.
Implementation Method 1
the base and the connecting component are abutted against the absorbing component. When the monitor holder is in a normal state, a force of the base and the connecting component on the absorbing component is within a certain force range, the absorbing component does not deform
Implementation Method 2
When the monitor holder is in a normal state, a force of the base and the connecting component on the absorbing component is within a certain force range, the absorbing component does not deform; when the monitor holder is in an impact state, the force of the base and the connecting component on the absorbing component is not within the certain force range, the absorbing component deforms
