Smoothly adjustable artboard
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adjustable artboards experience instability and difficulty in smooth adjustment during painting due to inadequate fixation and stability between the artboard and the adjusting bracket.
Innovation Solution
The integration of a force applying mechanism, a one-way limiting mechanism, and additional components such as a pressure spring, one-way gear, and torsion spring ensures stable and stepless adjustment of the artboard's height and angle, preventing instability and facilitating smooth movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed structure is used for the artboard, then the structure is simple and stable, but the artboard cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed artboard structure into an adjustable one through the addition of a rotating connection between the artboard and the adjusting bracket. This allows the artboard to change its angle and height dynamically while maintaining structural stability through the bracket's support mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the artboard system into distinct functional components: a base, an adjusting bracket with multiple adjustment mechanisms, and the artboard itself. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while contributing to the overall adjustability and stability of the system.
2Ease of operation
If an adjustable structure is added to the artboard, then the artboard can be adjusted, but the adjustment is not smooth and the artboard becomes unstable during painting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a roller as an intermediary element between the adjusting bracket and the artboard. This roller facilitates smooth movement and adjustment while the bracket's rigid structure provides stability during painting, effectively mediating between the need for adjustability and the need for stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by allowing the artboard's position parameters (angle and height) to be continuously adjusted through the bracket's mechanism. The roller enables smooth changes in these parameters while the bracket's structure ensures that once positioned, the artboard remains stable.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the artboard structure is made more complex to enable adjustment, then the artboard can be adjusted, but the difficulty of manufacture increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting bracket is designed as a multi-functional component that combines height adjustment, angle adjustment, and stabilization functions into a single structure. This universality reduces the need for multiple separate components, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining full adjustability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the adjustment mechanisms and support structure into a single integrated adjusting bracket assembly. By combining these functions into one component rather than using separate parts, the manufacturing process is simplified while the adjustability and stability functions are preserved.
