Solution Overview

Problem

Existing tiled display devices face challenges in assembly difficulty due to rigid collisions or dislocation issues between positioning pins and holes, leading to increased operation difficulty and reduced assembly yield.

Innovation Solution

A bracket structure with adjustable positioning structures and members, including via holes and movable adjustment components, allows for precise positioning and stable fixation of sub-display panel modules, reducing assembly complexity and enhancing stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If rigid positioning structures are used for assembling sub-display panel modules, then positioning precision is improved, but assembly difficulty increases due to collisions or dislocation between positioning pins and holes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structure is designed with movable adjustment members that can dynamically adapt their position. The adjustment member includes a movable portion that can shift along the positioning structure's length, allowing it to accommodate dimensional variations and alignment tolerances during assembly, thereby reducing assembly difficulty while maintaining positioning precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning structure allows for parameter adjustment by changing the effective positioning length through the movable adjustment member. This enables the positioning distance to be adjusted within a certain range, accommodating different assembly scenarios and reducing the risk of collisions or dislocations between positioning pins and holes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If adjustable positioning structures are added to reduce assembly difficulty, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structure is segmented into a fixed portion connected to the bracket body and a movable adjustment member. This segmentation allows the complex adjustment function to be isolated to a specific component, making the overall structure more manageable and easier to assemble despite the added functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment member is designed to be nested within or along the positioning structure, with the movable portion fitting within the overall positioning assembly. This nesting approach minimizes the space required for the adjustment mechanism and reduces the visual and structural complexity of the overall device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If positioning structures are made more robust to prevent dislocation, then reliability is improved, but assembly difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation stabilityVSAvoidassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structure transitions from a completely rigid design to a semi-dynamic design where the adjustment member can move during assembly to accommodate misalignments, but becomes stable and reliable once positioned. The movable portion provides flexibility during assembly while maintaining firm fixation during operation, thus improving reliability without increasing assembly difficulty

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
