Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen angle can be freely set in various directions, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen angle adjustmentVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support portion is divided into multiple movable portions (first movable portion and second movable portion), each responsible for specific rotation functions. This segmentation allows independent control of different rotation axes, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining multi-directional adjustment capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support portion incorporates movable portions that can rotate in multiple directions, transforming a static support structure into a dynamic one. This enables the display device to be positioned at various angles while maintaining structural simplicity through controlled motion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen angle can be freely set in various directions, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen angle adjustmentVSAvoidusability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing the rotation function into separate movable portions with distinct rotation directions, the system makes complex multi-directional adjustment more manageable and intuitive for users, improving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each movable portion is designed with specific rotation capabilities tailored to its function, allowing users to adjust the display device in a straightforward manner while achieving comprehensive angular adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen angle can be freely set in various directions, then the adaptability is improved, but the stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen angle adjustmentVSAvoidposition stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The movable portions enable controlled dynamic adjustment to various positions while maintaining stability at each positioned state, achieving both adaptability and stability through structured motion control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

According to one embodiment, a television receiver includes a housing, a support portion, a first movable portion, and a second movable portion. The first movable portion includes a sliding portion supported by one of the housing and the support portion to be rotatable in at least two directions. The second movable portion rotates in a first rotation direction with the first movable portion, and includes a second sliding portion, a first engagement portion, and a second engagement portion. The second sliding portion is supported by the one of the housing and the support portion to be rotatable in the first rotation direction. The first engagement portion engages with the one of the housing and the support portion to limit a rotation range in the first rotation direction. The second engagement portion engages with the first movable portion to limit a rotation range in a second rotation direction.
