Movable Display Module for Plant Cultivation Bed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing plant cultivation apparatuses face usability issues due to the placement of display modules, which can interfere with the surroundings and cause accidental button presses, and lack efficient wiring management when installed on doors or cabinet surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A display module is designed to be mounted at the lower end of a bed within the cultivation room, covering the LED module and featuring a novel structure with a front housing, rear housing, and mounting brackets that allow for easy manipulation and secure wiring, preventing glare and improving aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display module is installed in the door, then the user can easily access the display module when the door is closed, but the user has to return the door to the closed position or shift location to manipulate the display module when the door is opened
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is mounted on the movable bed structure rather than the fixed door or cabinet. When the bed moves forward for operation, the display module moves with it, maintaining optimal accessibility position dynamically without requiring door manipulation or user relocation
2Ease of operation
If the display module is installed in the door, then the display module is accessible, but it is difficult to secure a wiring space because signal lines and power lines connected to various devices in the cabinet should be connected to the door
Solution Approach 1:
The movable bed structure serves as an intermediary platform between the user and the display module. It provides a dedicated mounting location for the display module that is accessible during operation while maintaining wiring connectivity to the cabinet through the bed's movable connection points
Solution Approach 2:
The display module is mounted on the movable bed structure rather than the fixed door or cabinet. When the bed moves forward for operation, the display module moves with it, maintaining optimal accessibility position dynamically without requiring door manipulation or user relocation
3Ease of operation
If the display module is installed in the outer surface of the cabinet, then usability is increased, but the display module interferes with surroundings causing a malfunction in which a button of the display module is pressed accidentally
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is mounted on the movable bed structure rather than the fixed door or cabinet. When the bed moves forward for operation, the display module moves with it, maintaining optimal accessibility position dynamically without requiring door manipulation or user relocation
4Ease of operation
If a bed with a forward ejection structure is ejected forward, then plant access is improved, but the user has to extend his or her arm further than the ejected bed to manipulate the display module
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is merged with the movable bed structure, combining the plant access function and display operation function into a single movable platform. This eliminates the need for separate arm extension to reach the display module from the cabinet
Solution Approach 2:
The display module is mounted on the movable bed structure rather than the fixed door or cabinet. When the bed moves forward for operation, the display module moves with it, maintaining optimal accessibility position dynamically without requiring door manipulation or user relocation

AI summary
A display module and a plant cultivation apparatus equipped with a display module are provided. The display module in which a control panel that controls a plant cultivation environment and an output that outputs a state of the plant cultivation environment are provided in a front surface thereof coupled to a structure of a bed and withdrawable and insertable into the plant cultivation apparatus together with the bed. The display module may be located at a front surface of the bed, so that usability and space efficiency may be increased.
