Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If an external cooling member is connected to the display device, then heat management is improved, but the device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection portion for the external cooling member is nested within the accommodation portion of the display device. This allows the cooling connection interface to be integrated into the existing structural space, enabling heat management functionality without increasing the overall device volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The accommodation portion serves multiple functions: it houses the display part, accommodates the angle adjustment mechanism, and provides the connection portion for external cooling members. This multi-functionality allows heat management integration without requiring additional dedicated space.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display part is made rotationally movable for angle adjustment, then operational flexibility is improved, but structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display part is designed with rotational movability through the angle adjustment mechanism, allowing dynamic adjustment of the display angle. This dynamic capability provides operational flexibility while the mechanism is designed to be as simple as possible to minimize structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The angle adjustment mechanism is segmented into distinct components: the accommodation portion, the connection portion, and the rotational support structure. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining flexibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display part is inclined at 45 degrees or more for external cooling connection, then cooling accessibility is improved, but display viewing comfort deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display part's inclination angle is made dynamically adjustable rather than fixed. This allows the user to optimize the angle for either cooling connection accessibility or viewing comfort depending on the operational context, resolving the trade-off between these two requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The angle adjustment mechanism provides multi-functionality by enabling the display to serve different purposes at different angles: optimized for cooling connection at higher inclinations (45 degrees or more) and optimized for viewing at other angles. This universal adaptability resolves the contradiction between cooling accessibility and viewing comfort.

AI summary
There is provided a digital camera including: a body part; a display part; and an angle adjustment mechanism that adjusts an inclination angle of the display part with respect to a connection target surface by rotationally moving about a first rotational movement axis along one side of the body part in a direction view along a direction perpendicular to the connection target surface, in which the body part includes an accommodation portion that accommodates the display part and the angle adjustment mechanism, and a connection portion that is located in the accommodation portion and is connected to a cooling device.
