Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or position of the display panel, limiting their flexibility and stability, especially when used in dynamic environments where pivot, tilt, and elevating motions are desired independently.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a head with a display panel, an arm, a pole, and a base that includes a weight and wheel system, allowing for independent pivot, tilt, and elevating motions, while enhancing standing and driving stability through a structured weight distribution and wheel configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed display panel structure is used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but adaptability and positioning flexibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into modular components: a head containing the display panel, an arm for positioning, a pole for support, and a base with wheel assembly. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall flexibility and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic positioning capabilities through the arm mechanism that enables the head to perform pivot, tilt, and elevating motions. The wheel assembly further enhances adaptability by allowing the base to move freely, transforming the device from a static to a dynamically adjustable system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If motion mechanisms are added for pivot, tilt, and elevating motions, then positioning flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple motion functions (pivot, tilt, and elevating motions) are integrated into a unified arm mechanism. This merging approach allows the system to achieve complex positioning capabilities while avoiding the need for separate mechanisms for each motion type, thereby controlling overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The arm mechanism is designed as a multi-functional component that can perform pivot, tilt, and elevating motions independently or in combination. This universality reduces the total number of components needed while providing comprehensive motion capability for the display panel.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a wheel system is added to the base, then mobility and adaptability are improved, but driving stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
A weight is strategically disposed within the base to create a stable center of gravity that remains consistent during wheel-based movement. This equipotential design ensures that the base maintains driving stability while achieving mobility through the wheel assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The wheel assembly acts as an intermediary between the base and the ground, enabling smooth movement while the weight serves as a mediator to maintain stability during motion. This combination allows the system to achieve both mobility and driving stability.
4Stability of the object's composition
If weight is added to the base for stability, then standing stability is improved, but the overall device weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The weight is strategically positioned within the base at a specific location to maximize standing stability through optimal center of gravity placement. This local quality approach ensures stability is enhanced without requiring excessive weight throughout the entire device.
Solution Approach 2:
A moderate amount of weight is added to the base - sufficient to achieve the required standing stability for the display panel, but not excessive to unnecessarily increase the overall device weight. This partial action approach balances stability requirements with weight constraints.
