Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display systems in vehicles face challenges with low visibility due to small projected image sizes and difficulty in adjusting images from multiple modules, particularly in confined spaces like A-pillars and B-pillars.
Innovation Solution
A mounting structure for image display apparatuses featuring a rotation bracket, base bracket, and reflective mirrors that allow for adjustable image projection size, position, and orientation, enabling clear image projection onto a screen within a confined vehicle space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a subminiature projector is installed in an A-pillar or B-pillar to save space, then the device complexity is reduced and installation is easier, but the projected image size becomes small resulting in low visibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a movable bracket mechanism that enables the projector to be positioned in three-dimensional space (upward/downward movement along guide rails). This spatial dimensionality change allows the projector to be installed in confined pillar spaces while still achieving adequate image projection distance and size, resolving the contradiction between compact installation and image visibility
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple image modules are installed to provide comprehensive image display, then the functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases and image adjustment becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a universal mounting bracket system with standardized guide rails and movable mechanisms that can accommodate multiple image modules. Each module shares the same adjustment mechanism, allowing independent positioning while maintaining system uniformity. This multi-functional bracket design enables comprehensive image display from multiple perspectives without proportionally increasing adjustment complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs movable brackets with guide rails that allow dynamic adjustment of each image module's position. This dynamic positioning capability enables independent optimization of each module's projection angle and distance, making it easier to adjust and align multiple images without fixed rigid mounting constraints
3Stability of the object's composition
If the projector is fixed in a confined space to maintain structural stability, then the structural stability is improved, but the ability to adjust image projection parameters is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic mounting system where the projector is coupled to a movable bracket that can slide along guide rails. This allows the projector to transition between fixed and movable states - it can be securely mounted for stable operation or adjusted for optimization, resolving the contradiction between structural stability and adjustment capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a movable bracket as an intermediary component between the fixed vehicle structure and the projector. This intermediary element provides the adjustment functionality while the fixed guide rails maintain structural stability, allowing the projector to be positioned optimally without compromising overall structural integrity
