Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mechanism is added to open or close the front surface of the display panel, then the operational flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the static display panel into a dynamic structure that can change its state between open and closed positions. The display panel is coupled to a drive module with a slider that performs linear reciprocating motion, allowing the panel to dynamically adjust its position and orientation, thereby improving operational flexibility while managing complexity through controlled motion mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the display device into multiple functional components: a base, a drive module with slider, a plate coupled to the slider, and the display panel coupled to the plate. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall system more manageable and easier to control despite the added complexity of the opening/closing mechanism.
2Stability of the object's composition
If guide shafts are added to minimize left-right tilting during panel movement, then the stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide shafts act as intermediary elements between the drive module and the display panel. They mediate the motion transmission while constraining the panel's movement path, preventing left-right tilting during up-down movement. The guide shafts provide a mechanical constraint that ensures stable movement without requiring complex active control systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a drive module with slider is added to enable panel movement, then the operational flexibility is improved, but the device complexity and impact during movement increase
Solution Approach 1:
The drive module with slider provides controlled dynamic movement of the display panel, enabling it to transition between different positions and orientations. The linear reciprocating motion of the slider is transferred to the plate and subsequently to the display panel, creating a dynamic system that enhances operational flexibility while maintaining manageable complexity through straightforward mechanical motion.
4Reliability
If guide shafts are added to alleviate impact during panel movement, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide shafts serve as intermediary mechanical elements that smooth out movement transitions and reduce impact forces during panel movement. By providing a guided path and distributing mechanical stresses, the guide shafts enhance the reliability of the moving components without introducing complex shock absorption systems.
