Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional stand with a hinge-connected supporting member is used, then the stand can provide basic angle adjustment capability, but the supporting member is difficult to rotate and may cause user fatigue
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static hinge connection into a dynamic system with a rotatable base that can rotate within a mounting slot. The supporting member is connected to this rotatable base, allowing the entire assembly to rotate smoothly along the slot rather than requiring rotation at a fixed hinge point. This dynamic configuration reduces friction and rotational resistance, making angle adjustment easier while maintaining stability through the constrained rotational path.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a rotatable base as an intermediary component between the fixed mounting structure and the supporting member. This rotatable base rotates within the mounting slot and carries the supporting member, effectively mediating the transition from a difficult-to-rotate hinge connection to a smoother rotational adjustment mechanism. The intermediary rotatable base distributes the rotational movement and reduces the mechanical resistance experienced during angle adjustment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed hinge connection is used for the supporting member, then the structure remains simple, but the stand lacks flexibility in angle adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the static fixed hinge connection with a dynamic rotatable base system that moves along a mounting slot. This allows the supporting member to achieve multiple angle positions by rotating the base within the slot, significantly increasing adjustment flexibility. The added complexity is minimal, involving only the rotatable base component and the slot geometry, while gaining substantial adaptability in positioning the supporting member at various angles.
3Reliability
If the supporting member is connected through a traditional hinge, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the stand may become unstable during angle adjustment causing device shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional hinge connection with a dynamic rotatable base system that rotates within a mounting slot. This configuration provides stable angular adjustment by constraining the rotation to a defined path, preventing unwanted movements and device shaking. The manufacturing complexity increases slightly due to the slot geometry and rotatable base, but the significant improvement in stability during angle adjustment and device positioning makes this trade-off worthwhile.
