Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional shelters for display assemblies lack the ability to adjust their assembly angle, making them incompatible with various display configurations, which affects image quality due to environmental illumination.

Innovation Solution

A shelter device with a bridging component, including rotatable lateral members connected to displays, and top members that overlap to adjust relative rotation, allowing the shelter to adapt to different assembly angles between displays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a conventional shelter is designed to match a specific display assembly angle, then it can effectively block environmental illumination for that configuration, but it cannot be applied to other display configurations with different angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental illumination blockingVSAvoidcompatibility with various display configurations
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The shelter incorporates rotatable lateral members that can adjust their angles relative to each other, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one. This allows the shelter to adapt to different display assembly angles while maintaining effective illumination blocking, resolving the contradiction between fixed-angle effectiveness and multi-configurability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The shelter is designed with universal adaptability through its rotatable components, enabling a single shelter design to serve multiple display configurations. The top members and lateral members can be positioned at various angles, making the shelter compatible with different numbers and arrangements of displays while maintaining its light-blocking function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Shape

If the shelter structure is made rigid to maintain shape and blocking effectiveness, then it cannot freely adjust to different assembly angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshelter structure stabilityVSAvoidangle adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The shelter employs rotatable lateral members connected through joints, allowing the structure to change its configuration dynamically. The rigid top members maintain shape stability while the rotatable connections enable angle adjustment, resolving the contradiction between structural rigidity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The shelter is divided into modular components (top members and lateral members) that can be independently positioned. The lateral members are segmented into rotatable sections, allowing the structure to be configured for different angles while maintaining the integrity and shape of individual components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A shelter (24) and a sheltering apparatus (10, 10') of adjusting an assembly angle are applied for an assembling display apparatus with a first display (16) and a second display (18). The shelter (24) includes a bridging component (34), a first top member (36) and a second top member (38). The bridging component (34) includes a first lateral member (40) and a second lateral member (42). The first lateral member (40) is detachably connected to the first display (16). The second lateral member (42) is rotatably assembled with the first lateral member (40) and detachably connected to the second display (18). The first top member (36) is disposed on the first lateral member (40). The second top member (38) is disposed on the second lateral member (42), and overlapped with the first top member (36) for relative rotation between the first lateral member (40) and the second lateral member (42).
