Solution Overview

Problem

Existing rotating body attachment structures in projection-type image display devices transmit vibration noise from the motor to the rotating body, causing resonance and amplification of noise, which affects attachment accuracy and stability.

Innovation Solution

A rotating body attachment structure that includes an elastic member with a through-hole and a fixing member with a sleeve and screw member, which are inserted into the rotating body and support body, respectively, to attenuate vibration and reduce noise by compressing the elastic member between the attachment surfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the rotating body is fixed to the support body in direct contact with screw parts, then the attachment strength is improved, but vibration noise is transmitted and amplified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment strengthVSAvoidvibration noise
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

An elastic member is introduced as an intermediary between the rotating body and support body. The elastic member receives the attachment function while simultaneously absorbing vibration, preventing direct transmission of vibration noise through the screw parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The physical state of the connection is changed from rigid direct contact to elastic contact. By using an elastic member, the connection parameters change to include vibration absorption capabilities while maintaining attachment strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Force

If the rotating body is fixed using nuts and screw parts, then the fixing force is improved, but attachment accuracy deteriorates due to vibration resonance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing forceVSAvoidattachment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member serves as a mediator that decouples the vibration source from the attachment structure. This allows the fixing force to be maintained through the elastic member while preventing vibration resonance that would compromise attachment accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member provides beforehand cushioning by absorbing vibrations before they can resonate with the attachment structure. This preventive measure protects attachment accuracy from being compromised by vibration-induced resonance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Device complexity

If the rotating body is directly attached to the support body, then the device complexity is reduced, but noise transmission increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidnoise transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member is a simple intermediary component that effectively blocks noise transmission without adding significant structural complexity. It is fitted into an attachment hole and provides vibration absorption with minimal impact on overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
