Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
VR data cables are often scattered and difficult to manage, leading to entanglement and restricted movement when using a VR headset, as they are hard to notice and can easily get in the way or trip the user due to their placement.
Innovation Solution
A hooking device for VR data cables that includes a buffer hung on a ceiling, a hang assembly, and an adjustment assembly with a pull wire and spiral elastic piece, allowing the data cable to be adjusted in height for convenient movement and storage, preventing entanglement and tripping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the VR data cable is hung on the ceiling with a pull wire, then the cable is prevented from scattering and tripping the user, but the movement of the VR data cable is restricted making it inconvenient for users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing the fixed pull wire suspension system with an elastic suspension system. The elastic piece allows the VR data cable to hang dynamically from the ceiling buffer, enabling free movement in multiple directions while maintaining suspended positioning. This resolves the contradiction by providing both reliable cable management (preventing scattering and tripping) and ease of operation (allowing unconstrained cable movement for convenient headset usage).
2Ease of operation
If the VR data cable is scattered around the user, then the cable is easily accessible, but the cable causes entanglement and is difficult to notice
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dimensionality change principle by transitioning the cable from a horizontal scattering pattern on the floor to a vertical suspension arrangement from the ceiling. The VR data cable hangs downward from the ceiling buffer through the elastic piece, utilizing the vertical dimension to organize the cable. This eliminates entanglement issues while keeping the cable accessible, as it naturally follows the user's movement without creating harmful tangles on the floor.
3Device complexity
If a fixed length pull wire is used to hang the VR data cable, then the hanging structure is simple, but the hang height cannot be adjusted reducing user convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the parameter changes principle by replacing the fixed-length pull wire with an elastic piece that can dynamically change its effective length through elastic deformation. The elastic piece allows the hang height to be adjusted according to user needs while maintaining a simple hanging structure. The elasticity provides both structural simplicity and adaptability, enabling height adjustment without complex mechanisms.
