Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional vehicle players have fixed structures that cannot be adjusted to adapt to different installation positions in vehicles, requiring users to purchase specific models for their car's installation type.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle player with a modular design featuring a main body, screen member, control board member, and bracket member, allowing for adjustable installation on single or double spindle structures, and equipped with detachable covers and elastic bars for secure attachment to various car models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional vehicle player uses a fixed structure, then the manufacturing and installation process is simple, but the adaptability to different vehicle installation positions is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different installation positionsVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vehicle player is divided into separate modules: a main body and a detachable bracket member. The bracket member can be removed or attached as needed, allowing the main body to be installed in different positions (upper spindle or lower spindle) without requiring a completely different product design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket member is designed to be detachable rather than fixed, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of the installation structure. This allows users to adjust the installation configuration based on the specific vehicle type and installation position requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a vehicle player is designed with a detachable bracket member for multiple installation positions, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different vehicle typesVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket member serves multiple functions: it can be attached to the main body for double spindle installation, removed for single spindle installation, and potentially configured for different spindle types. This single component handles multiple installation scenarios, reducing the need for multiple specialized products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the vehicle player uses a fixed single spindle structure, then the device complexity is low, but it cannot be installed in vehicles with double spindle structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different spindle structuresVSAvoidinstallation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the bracket member from the main body, the design allows users to attach the bracket for double spindle vehicles or omit it for single spindle vehicles, providing installation flexibility across different vehicle types without complicating the main body design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
