Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional vehicle rear seat displays are fixed in a horizontal position, making them unsuitable for vertical video viewing and mobile entertainment, and they are difficult to operate or detach for privacy and convenience.

Innovation Solution

A quick-release structure with a rotating mechanism that allows the vehicle rear seat display to be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position and easily detached for removal, using a display docking piece with a release button, cross-convex part, buckles, gears, and a rotating mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display is fixed in a horizontal position, then the structure is simple and stable, but the display cannot support vertical video viewing and mobile entertainment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay orientation adaptabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by implementing a rotating mechanism that allows the display to transition between fixed horizontal and vertical orientations. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft, rotating mechanism, and associated gears that enable dynamic repositioning of the display from a fixed horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby providing orientation adaptability while maintaining structural manageability through controlled mechanical movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the display is locked in a fixed position, then the structure is stable, but it is difficult for users to manually operate or detach for privacy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay detachment easeVSAvoiddisplay fixation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display assembly into separable components: the display module and the mounting structure. The quick-release mechanism uses buckles, buckles holes, and connecting components that allow the display to be detached from the mounting structure. This segmentation enables easy user operation for detachment and reattachment while maintaining reliable fixation when assembled, as each component has a defined function in the connection system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs an intermediary mechanism through the quick-release structure that includes buckles, buckles holes, and connecting components. These intermediaries facilitate the connection and disconnection between the display and mounting structure. The buckles engage with the buckles holes to provide secure fixation, while the release button actuates the buckles to enable easy detachment, thus mediating between the need for stable fixation and easy operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Area of moving object

If the display is viewed horizontally, then the screen size is adequate, but vertical videos and mobile phone mirroring images appear small

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffective display areaVSAvoidvideo format adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating mechanism enables the display to dynamically change orientation from horizontal to vertical, allowing the same physical display area to be optimally utilized for different video formats. When viewing vertical videos or mobile phone mirroring images, the display rotates to vertical orientation, maximizing the effective display area for these formats without requiring a larger screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Ease of operation

If the display remains fixed, then privacy protection is difficult, but frequent detachment may compromise structural integrity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protection easeVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The quick-release mechanism allows the display to be easily extracted or detached from the mounting structure when privacy protection is needed. The buckles and buckles holes enable clean separation of the display module from the mounting structure without damaging either component. The structural integrity is maintained because the connection and disconnection processes are designed to avoid stress concentration or damage to the mounting structure, allowing repeated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A quick-release structure and a vehicle rear seat display module using the same are provided. The quick-release structure includes a display docking piece, a fixing bracket docking piece, and a connecting hinge. The display docking piece and the fixing bracket docking piece may move relatively through the connecting hinge, so that a display fixed on the quick-release structure may be adjusted in pitch angle. In addition, the display docking piece also has a rotating mechanism, which makes a display rotate from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction.
