Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in viewing information on oven display modules due to viewing angle limitations, requiring them to adjust their posture to align with the display.
Innovation Solution
An oven with a pivotable display module that includes a fixed module, a moving module, a driving module, and a detection module, allowing the display to pivot automatically and be viewed from various angles, featuring a rotating axis and power transmission mechanisms to facilitate easy access to operational information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display module is fixed to face forward direction, then the structure is simple and stable, but users cannot view information from various angles without adjusting posture
Solution Approach 1:
The display module transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic pivotable structure. The moving module can rotate around a rotating axis relative to the fixed module, allowing the display panel to change its orientation and face different directions. This enables users to view information from various angles without adjusting their posture, while the pivotable mechanism maintains structural stability through defined rotation boundaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The display module is divided into two independent modules: a fixed module coupled to the oven main body and a moving module containing the display panel. This segmentation allows the moving module to pivot independently around the rotating axis, providing viewing flexibility without affecting the overall structural stability of the fixed module and oven assembly.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display module is made pivotable, then users can view from any position, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The display module incorporates a moving module that can dynamically pivot around a rotating axis relative to the fixed module. This dynamic capability allows the display panel to adapt to various viewing angles and positions, enhancing versatility while maintaining a relatively compact and organized structural design through the modular fixed and moving components.
3Extent of automation
If automatic pivoting control is added, then user convenience is enhanced, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display module enables automatic pivoting through self-service mechanisms where the moving module can automatically adjust its orientation based on detected user position or interaction. The system incorporates sensors and control circuits that automatically trigger the pivoting action, eliminating the need for manual adjustment while maintaining relatively simple control logic integrated into the existing modular structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The automatic pivoting control system incorporates feedback mechanisms that detect user position or interaction with the oven and automatically adjust the display module's orientation accordingly. The control circuit receives input signals and triggers the appropriate pivoting response, creating a closed-loop system that enhances user convenience without requiring complex external control systems.
