Rotating Console Display Mount for Manual and Autonomous Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle console displays lack flexibility in adapting to different driving modes, such as manual and autonomous driving, and do not efficiently adjust their position and functionality based on changing user needs.
Innovation Solution
A console display mounting apparatus with a motor unit and sensor system that rotates and attaches/detaches the display based on the vehicle's boarding mode, allowing it to switch between driving and office modes, and includes a display holder unit with a flange structure for secure mounting and detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the console display is fixed in a static position, then the mounting structure is simple and stable, but the display cannot adapt to different driving modes (manual vs. autonomous driving)
Solution Approach 1:
The console display mounting apparatus incorporates a motor unit that enables dynamic rotation of the display holder unit between a first position (for manual driving mode) and a second position (for autonomous driving mode). This transforms the static mounting structure into a dynamic system that can adapt its configuration based on driving mode requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting apparatus is designed to serve multiple functions: it can securely hold the console display in different orientations, rotate between driving modes, and provide stable mounting in both manual and autonomous driving configurations. This multi-functionality allows a single apparatus to replace what would otherwise require multiple fixed mounting solutions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the console display can rotate between driving modes, then the flexibility and user experience are improved, but the reliability of secure mounting may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display position based on driving mode, rotating to a first position for manual driving and a second position for autonomous driving. This dynamic positioning ensures the display is optimally oriented for each mode while maintaining secure mounting through the motor unit's controlled operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting apparatus includes a sensor unit that detects the driving mode and provides feedback to the control unit. The control unit then activates the motor unit to rotate the display holder unit to the appropriate position, ensuring the display is securely mounted in the correct orientation for the detected driving mode.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a motor unit and sensor system are added for mode-based rotation, then the functionality adapts to user needs, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting apparatus incorporates a motor unit that enables dynamic rotation of the display holder unit between a first position (for manual driving mode) and a second position (for autonomous driving mode). This transforms the static mounting structure into a dynamic system that can adapt its configuration based on driving mode requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting apparatus is designed to serve multiple functions: it can securely hold the console display in different orientations, rotate between driving modes, and provide stable mounting in both manual and autonomous driving configurations. This multi-functionality allows a single apparatus to replace what would otherwise require multiple fixed mounting solutions.
