Solution Overview

Problem

Existing film watching systems have a limited viewing range, preventing audiences from seeing content below the horizontal line of the viewing platform and failing to provide a dynamic, multidirectional viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic multidirectional film watching system with a rolling film watching platform and a transmission cable mechanism that adjusts the inclination angle from 0 to 95 degrees, allowing the platform to be suspended for a wider view and incorporating a gear system for reduced resistance and enhanced safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a horizontally arranged viewing platform is used, then the structure is simple and stable, but the viewing range is limited and content below the horizontal line cannot be viewed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidviewing range
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The viewing platform is transformed from a fixed horizontal arrangement to a dynamically adjustable rolling platform that can change its inclination angle. The platform rolls along inclined rails from a horizontal position (0 degrees) to an inclined position (up to 95 degrees), enabling the audience to view content in different directions and expand the viewing range while maintaining structural stability through the rail-guided rolling mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If the viewing platform is fixed horizontally, then the installation is simple, but the visual guidance is poor and cannot satisfy growing audience demands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidvisual guidance quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The platform incorporates a rolling mechanism along inclined rails that allows dynamic adjustment of the viewing angle. This enables the system to adapt to different viewing requirements and provide enhanced visual guidance, while the rail-based mechanism maintains relative structural simplicity and ease of installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a rolling mechanism with transmission cable and motor is added, then the viewing angle can be adjusted dynamically, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle adjustabilityVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex transmission mechanism is extracted and simplified by using a transmission cable system that runs along the inclined rails. The motor and roller assembly is positioned at a convenient location (such as the top or bottom of the rails) to wind or pay out the cable, controlling the platform's rolling motion. This extraction approach reduces overall system complexity while maintaining dynamic viewing angle adjustability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Area of moving object

If the platform can be suspended at inclined angles, then a wider viewing range is achieved, but the structural support requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing rangeVSAvoidstructural support strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The platform utilizes the inclined rails as both guidance and support structures. When the platform rolls to an inclined position, the rails provide the necessary structural support through their inclination and anchoring to the building structure. This dynamic rolling mechanism allows the platform to achieve suspended viewing positions with extended viewing range while distributing structural loads through the rail system rather than requiring additional support columns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
