Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen positioning systems face issues with tilting during rectilinear sliding displacement, requiring additional measures to prevent undesired tilting and complicating assembly, while also being cumbersome for maintenance and removal.
Innovation Solution
A pivoting displacement mechanism between the securing body and screen body, utilizing a circular profile for guiding cooperation, with a spring member and blocking device to ensure secure attachment and easy disassembly, and a slowing device to control the return motion, all contributing to a constructionally simple and user-friendly system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rectilinear sliding displacement mechanism is used to secure the screen body, then the securing function is achieved, but tilting occurs during displacement requiring additional anti-tilting measures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional rectilinear sliding displacement mechanism and replaces it with a pivoting displacement mechanism. The securing body pivots around a pivot axis between a free position and a securing position, eliminating the tilting problem inherent in sliding mechanisms while maintaining the securing function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs circular profiles in the guiding arrangement between the protruding part of the securing body and the recess in the screen body. This curved geometry enables smooth pivoting motion and ensures proper alignment during displacement, preventing tilting without requiring additional anti-tilting measures.
2Stability of the object's composition
If additional anti-tilting measures are added to prevent tilting during sliding displacement, then tilting is prevented, but assembly becomes more complex and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
By inverting the displacement mechanism from sliding to pivoting, the patent eliminates the need for additional anti-tilting measures, thereby maintaining stability while simplifying assembly to just two main steps: inserting the protruding part into the recess and pivoting the securing body into position.
Solution Approach 2:
The guiding arrangement with circular profiles ensures that the pivoting motion occurs smoothly along a predetermined path, maintaining proper alignment and preventing tilting throughout the displacement process. This geometric constraint inherently provides stability without requiring additional components.
3Device complexity
If a pivoting displacement mechanism is used instead of sliding displacement, then tilting is eliminated and assembly is simplified, but additional components like spring members and blocking devices are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into the pivoting displacement mechanism itself. The spring member provides both the forcing action to move the securing body from free to securing position and the blocking action to prevent unintended movement. The blocking device integrates with the pivoting mechanism to provide automatic locking, reducing the need for separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring member automatically forces the securing body into the securing position after insertion, and the blocking device automatically prevents return to the free position. This self-actuating mechanism eliminates the need for additional actuators or complex control systems, maintaining constructional simplicity despite the added components.
4Reliability
If the securing body is designed for secure attachment, then reliability is improved, but removal and maintenance become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic pivoting mechanism that allows the securing body to move between a free position (for easy removal) and a securing position (for reliable attachment). The spring member and blocking device work together to provide secure attachment during normal use while allowing intentional release for removal and maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing mechanism is segmented into distinct functional elements: the protruding part for insertion, the pivoting body for positioning, the spring member for forcing and blocking, and the blocking device for locking. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall ease of removal when needed.
