Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the display module is fixed in a fixed position, then the structural stability is improved, but the operator convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidoperator convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display module is designed with a rotatable mounting mechanism that allows it to transition from a fixed state to a movable state. The module can be rotated between a first position (parallel to the plate body) and a second position (perpendicular to the plate body), enabling operators to adjust the display angle according to their needs while maintaining structural stability when positioned.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If the display module is fixed in a fixed position, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidpositioning flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device incorporates a rotatable connection mechanism between the display module and the plate body, allowing the module to be positioned at different angles (parallel or perpendicular). This dynamic positioning capability is achieved through simple mechanical components that maintain manufacturing simplicity while providing positioning flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display module is enabled to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the plate body, adding a rotational degree of freedom in a new dimension. This allows the module to adapt to different viewing angles and operational requirements without complicating the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A mounting device for a display module includes a positioning member and an installation member. The positioning member includes a limiting portion and a positioning piece. The limiting portion defines a first receiving slot. The positioning piece defines a cutout. The installation member is secured to the positioning member and includes an elastically deformable limiting block. The installation member defines a second receiving slot and a limiting slot. A limiting rib is located on the limiting block and in the limiting slot. The first receiving slot and the second receiving slot rotatably receive a rotating shaft of the display module therebetween. The limiting block abuts a connecting shaft connected to the rotating shaft and blocks the connecting shaft in the limiting slot. The cutout is adapted to receive the connecting shaft when the rotating shaft is rotated to rotate the connecting shaft out of the limiting slot.
