Height-Adjustable Platform with Integrated UV Keyboard Sterilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display height-increasing platforms do not address the issue of keyboard hygiene, as they lack a mechanism to disinfect the keyboard and prevent bacterial growth.
Innovation Solution
A display height-increasing platform with an integrated ultraviolet disinfection unit that projects UV light onto the keyboard, accompanied by a display module for controlling the disinfection process and a baffle plate to prevent UV light leakage, ensuring effective sterilization and cleanliness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an ultraviolet disinfection unit is added to the height-increasing platform, then the keyboard sterilization function is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the ultraviolet disinfection unit, display module, and control module into the height-increasing platform structure. The control module integrates multiple functions (controlling UV disinfection, display control, timing) into a single unit, reducing overall system complexity while adding sterilization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The height-increasing platform is transformed into a multi-functional device by incorporating keyboard sterilization, display information presentation, and automated timing control. This allows a single device to serve both height adjustment and hygiene maintenance purposes.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a baffle plate is added to prevent ultraviolet light leakage, then the safety is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The baffle plate acts as an intermediary element between the ultraviolet disinfection unit and the external environment. It selectively blocks harmful UV light while allowing the disinfection function to operate effectively within the keyboard placement area, ensuring safety without compromising the core function.
3Ease of operation
If a timing module is added to automatically turn off the ultraviolet disinfection unit, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The timing module enables the ultraviolet disinfection unit to automatically turn off after a predetermined period without user intervention. The system self-regulates the disinfection process duration, eliminating the need for manual monitoring and shutdown while maintaining simple operation through automatic control.
4Ease of operation
If a display module with virtual control button is added, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display module with virtual control button replaces traditional mechanical buttons and physical controls with a touchscreen or graphical interface. This substitution provides more intuitive control and information display while consolidating control functions into a single integrated interface, reducing the number of separate control elements needed.
