Retractable Vehicle Display Assembly for Space-Saving Flexibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle displays are fixed and occupy significant space, limiting their operational freedom and flexibility in use.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle electronic device with a display unit, motor driving assembly, and workbench, where the motor driving assembly moves and flips the display unit to change its position between being displayed on the workbench surface and accommodated within the workbench, allowing for greater operational freedom and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display unit is fixed outside the dashboard, then it is easily accessible and visible, but it occupies more space in the vehicle and limits operational freedom
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit is transformed from a fixed static structure to a dynamic movable one. The motor driving assembly enables the display unit to move between an extended position (protruding from the workbench) and a retracted position (stored within the workbench), allowing the system to adapt its space occupation based on operational needs
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit is designed to be nested within the workbench when not in use. The workbench contains an accommodating space that receives the display unit, allowing it to be stored inside the workbench body, thereby reducing the occupied external space while maintaining accessibility when needed
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display unit is fixed in position, then it provides stable viewing, but it limits flexibility in use and operational freedom
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit incorporates a motor driving assembly that enables it to change its position dynamically. The display unit can move between being displayed on the surface of the workbench and being accommodated within the workbench, providing adaptability for different usage scenarios without requiring multiple separate devices
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit serves multiple functions through its movable design. It can be positioned for viewing when needed and stored within the workbench when not in use, allowing a single device to fulfill both display and space-saving requirements, thereby increasing versatility without proportionally increasing complexity

AI summary
A vehicle electronic device and a storage method therefore are provided. The vehicle electronic device includes a display unit, a motor driving assembly and a workbench. The motor driving assembly is connected to the display unit. An accommodating space with an opening is formed inside the workbench. The motor driving assembly moves and flips the display unit, so that the display unit is displayed on a surface of the workbench or accommodated in the accommodating space.
