Removable Vehicle Seat Display Mount for Easy Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The construction and maintenance of vehicle seats with integrated screens are lengthy and costly, and existing in-seat screens are permanently installed, making replacement and modernization time-consuming and costly, while posing safety risks due to their permanent integration.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle seat design with a removable visual display device attached to a base via a detachable mount, allowing for easy integration and replacement of standardized devices, with a safety shutter to prevent injury and simplify approval procedures, and a power supply system for efficient energy management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a visual display device is permanently integrated into the seat, then the screen is securely fixed and stable, but replacement and maintenance become time-consuming and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is divided into a base portion integrated into the seat and a holder portion that can be detached. This segmentation allows the display device to be securely fixed during use while enabling quick removal for replacement or maintenance by simply detaching the holder portion from the base portion.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount transitions from a static permanent integration to a dynamic system that can change state between secured and detached. The mount includes a securing mechanism that can be activated or deactivated, allowing the display device to be firmly fixed during operation and easily removed when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If custom-made screens are manufactured for each application, then the screen fits the specific seat design, but construction time increases to a year or longer
Solution Approach 1:
The base portion of the mount is designed as a universal component that can be integrated into different seat types and designs. Standardized mounting interfaces and dimensions allow the same base design to work across multiple applications, eliminating the need for custom-made screens for each specific seat while maintaining proper fit and integration.
3Reliability
If electronic devices are permanently installed in the means of transport, then they provide stable entertainment, but they represent safety risks requiring complex approval procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is extracted from permanent integration and made detachable through the removable holder portion. This allows the entertainment system to remain stable during use while enabling the device to be removed entirely when not in use or when safety concerns arise, simplifying approval procedures by eliminating permanent installation requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system transitions from static permanent installation to dynamic removable installation. The ability to securely attach and easily detach the display device provides stability during operation while eliminating safety risks associated with permanent installation, as the device can be removed and stored appropriately when needed.
