Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spliced display apparatuses face challenges in efficiently adjusting segment differences between sub-display panel assemblies, leading to issues like concave-convex or split image effects due to assembly errors and the need for disassembly and reassembly for adjustments.

Innovation Solution

A bracket structure with an adjusting mechanism, featuring a duct and an adjusting structure that allows for external adjustments to change the protrusion amount of the adjusting structure, thereby adjusting the distance between the supporting surface and the housing without disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If sub-display panel assemblies are disassembled and reassembled to adjust segment differences, then assembly accuracy can be improved, but assembly efficiency deteriorates due to time-consuming disassembly and reassembly operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly accuracyVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism that allows the bracket structure to be adjusted in position along the duct without disassembly. The adjusting structure can move dynamically between different positions to compensate for segment differences, transforming a static assembly into a dynamically adjustable one that maintains both efficiency and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjusting structure is divided into independent components including the adjusting component, limiting component, and elastic component that can move independently along the duct. This segmentation allows for precise positional adjustments while maintaining the overall integrity of the bracket structure, enabling accurate segment difference correction without full disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If adjustment mechanisms are added to the bracket structure to enable in-place adjustment, then assembly efficiency is improved by avoiding disassembly, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adjusting structure is nested within the duct of the bracket structure, with the adjusting component moving inside the duct cavity. The limiting component and elastic component are integrated within this nested arrangement, allowing the adjustment mechanism to be compact and not increase the overall footprint of the bracket structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic component serves as an intermediary between the adjusting component and the limiting component, providing flexible connection and force transmission. This intermediary element allows for smooth adjustment operations while simplifying the overall mechanical linkage compared to rigid direct connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the adjusting structure allows large movement range along the duct, then adaptability to different assembly errors is improved, but control precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment rangeVSAvoidcontrol precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes in the elastic component's deformation state to control the adjusting mechanism's position. By changing the elastic force parameters through the elastic component, the system achieves both large adjustment range and precise control, as the elastic deformation can be precisely controlled while providing substantial movement capability along the duct.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
