Solution Overview

Problem

Stationary-type ordering devices face challenges in being applied to external tables due to the difficulty of cable management and heat transfer issues from batteries, which are conventionally used for power supply.

Innovation Solution

A display stand equipped with a pogo pin coupling system that allows power supply from both commercial power sources and batteries, featuring a sliding body with a battery holder, a rotating display mounting module, and an adjustable coupling assembly using a double screw structure to ensure secure mounting and heat dissipation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a stationary-type ordering device is powered by a commercial power source with cables, then the device can be powered reliably, but it becomes difficult to apply to external tables and requires cable removal and recoupling during cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower supply reliabilityVSAvoidapplicability to external tables

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the power connection function from fixed cable connections and implements it through removable pogo pin couplings. The pogo pin coupling allows the display stand to be connected to power sources (commercial power or battery) through a pluggable interface rather than fixed cables, enabling easy removal and reconnection while maintaining reliable power supply.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adaptability by allowing the display stand to switch between different power sources (commercial power via pogo pin coupling or battery) and by enabling the coupling assembly to be adjusted for different table thicknesses. This dynamic configuration resolves the contradiction between fixed cable reliability and adaptability to external tables.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a battery is connected to the stationary-type ordering device to enable external table application, then the device can be applied to external tables, but heat generated from the battery may be transferred to the device

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveapplicability to external tablesVSAvoidheat transfer to display

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power supply system into separate functional modules: the battery holder is positioned in the coupling assembly away from the display, and heat dissipation structures are specifically designed to isolate thermal sources. This segmentation prevents heat transfer to the display while maintaining external table applicability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces thermal management components as intermediaries between the battery and display, including heat dissipation structures and positioning arrangements that act as thermal barriers. These intermediaries allow the battery to function while preventing harmful heat transfer to the display.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Use of energy by stationary object

If cables are used for power supply, then the device can be powered, but cables have to be removed and recoupled one by one during cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower supply capabilityVSAvoidcable management during cleaning

Core Design Contradiction:

Use of energy by stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple cable connections into a single integrated pogo pin coupling mechanism. Instead of having separate cables for power and data that need individual handling, the pogo pin coupling provides a unified connection point that simplifies the connection and disconnection process during cleaning operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Stability of the object's composition

If the display stand structure is fixed to ensure stable mounting, then the mounting is reliable, but it cannot be adjusted to fit various table thicknesses

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidadjustability to various table thicknesses

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustability to the mounting structure through the coupling assembly with double screw structure. The coupling height can be adjusted to accommodate different table thicknesses while maintaining stable mounting through the screw fixation mechanism. This dynamic design resolves the contradiction between fixed stability and adaptive versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
