Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional frame structures are used for multi-screen interactive display devices, then structural strength is maintained, but manufacturing cost increases and practicability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple detachable profile sections that can be assembled together to form different configurations. Each profile section contains grooves for receiving adapter assemblies, enabling modular construction that reduces manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining structural integrity through precise joining mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The profile sections are designed with universal adapter assemblies that can accommodate multiple types of components (display screens, cameras, microphones, speakers) at various positions. The grooves and positioning blocks create standardized interfaces that work across different device configurations, reducing the need for custom parts and lowering overall manufacturing costs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complex adapter assemblies are used to enhance functionality, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A universal adapter assembly design is implemented that can accommodate multiple types of components (display screens, cameras, microphones, speakers) through standardized mounting interfaces. The adapter includes positioning blocks that fit into grooves on the profile sections, providing consistent positioning and attachment mechanisms regardless of the specific component being mounted, thereby enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapter assembly incorporates specific structural features at localized positions (positioning blocks, mounting holes, fixing mechanisms) that provide targeted functionality where needed. Rather than making the entire adapter complex, only specific regions contain the necessary structural elements for their intended purposes, keeping the overall design simple while maintaining high adaptability.
3Productivity
If fixed conference locations are used, then infrastructure cost is reduced, but participation and interaction efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The frame structure is designed with detachable profile sections that can be easily assembled and disassembled to create display devices at different locations. This dynamic reconfigurability enables the system to be deployed wherever conferences are held, allowing participants to interact face-to-face at their own locations rather than requiring travel to fixed conference venues, thereby improving both participation convenience and interaction efficiency.

AI summary
A frame includes a plurality of profile sections and at least one first adapter assembly. Each profile section includes at least one section extension surface, and one of the at least one section extension surface is provided with at least one first groove therein. Each first adapter assembly includes a first position-limiting block provided with at least one first mounting hole therein. The first position-limiting block is configured to be fixed in a first groove during assembly, and to fix other components to the profile section through the at least one first mounting hole.
