Wearable Display Linking-Lever Eye Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wearable display devices for Augmented Reality (AR) have an optical imaging device that is fixedly arranged and cannot be adjusted to align with the user's eyes, limiting user comfort and willingness to use the device.
Innovation Solution
A wearable display device featuring a wearing device, a bracket, and a linking-lever set with pivotally connected rods, allowing the optical imaging device to be adjusted and rotated to align with the user's eyes, and can be hidden or exposed as needed, using a hat-like structure with an accommodating recess and cushion rings for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the optical imaging device is fixedly arranged in front of the user's eyes, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot be adjusted to align with different users' eyes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed optical imaging device into an adjustable one through a linking-lever mechanism. The optical imaging device can now move relative to the wearing device, allowing it to be positioned according to different users' eye locations while maintaining structural integrity through the four-bar linkage system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the device into multiple functional components: the wearing device, the bracket, the linking-lever set with multiple rods, and the optical imaging device. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while enabling overall adjustability without excessive complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the optical imaging device is adjustable, then user comfort is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The linking-lever mechanism provides dynamic adjustability that enhances user comfort. The optical imaging device can be positioned at different locations and angles to match individual user eye positions, making the device easier to operate and more comfortable to wear despite the added mechanical complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the optical imaging device projects outwards from the hat brim, then the device is easily accessible, but the device cannot be hidden when not in use
Solution Approach 1:
The optical imaging device can dynamically change its position between projecting outwards from the hat brim for easy accessibility and retracting into the hat body for concealment. The linking-lever mechanism enables this positional transformation, allowing the device to be hidden when not in use while remaining easily accessible when needed.
