Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional backframe is used with fixed dimensions, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot adapt to different wall opening sizes, requiring re-drilling or custom fabrication

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different wall opening sizesVSAvoidbackframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The backframe employs slide rails with movable engaging assemblies that can be adjusted along the rails to accommodate different wall opening dimensions. The engaging assemblies can slide to different positions and be locked at desired locations, transforming the fixed backframe into an adjustable one that adapts to various opening sizes without requiring structural changes or re-drilling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The backframe is divided into modular components: the base structure with slide rails and separate engaging assemblies that can move independently along the rails. This segmentation allows each engaging assembly to be positioned and adjusted separately, enabling flexible adaptation to different wall opening sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the wall opening size does not match the backframe dimensions, then mounting is simplified, but the backframe cannot be installed or requires complete removal and re-drilling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of mountingVSAvoidcompatibility with existing wall openings
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The engaging assemblies can slide along the rails to adjust the effective width and height of the backframe opening, allowing the same backframe to fit into wall openings of varying dimensions. This dynamic adjustment capability eliminates the need for complete removal and re-drilling when encountering size mismatches during installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The backframe's effective dimensions are changed by moving the engaging assemblies to different positions along the slide rails. By adjusting the position parameters of the engaging assemblies, the backframe can accommodate wall openings with different size parameters, making installation easier and more flexible.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If engaging assemblies are made movable and adjustable, then adaptability to different opening sizes is improved, but the mounting process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in mounting requirementsVSAvoidmounting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The engaging assemblies are designed to move along the slide rails and can be locked at desired positions. This dynamic mechanism provides flexibility in adapting to different opening sizes while maintaining a relatively simple mounting process through straightforward sliding and locking actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The backframe is segmented into the base structure and separate engaging assemblies that can be independently adjusted. This modular design allows for flexible adaptation to different openings while keeping each component relatively simple, avoiding the need for a completely complex integrated adjustment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An adjustable embedded display unit backframe includes a backframe base and a plurality of engaging assemblies. The backframe base has a front for holding a display screen and a back opposing the front. The back has a plurality of slide rails. The engaging assemblies are disposed in the slide rails, respectively, and slidable relative to the backframe base. The engaging assemblies each have an engaging component for engaging with a wall. With the engaging assemblies being slidable relative to the backframe base, the adjustable embedded display unit backframe is suitable for different sizes of the opening bored in the wall, not only sparing the hassle of boring an opening in the wall anew, but also ensuring that the use of the adjustable embedded display unit backframe is easy and flexible.
