Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional locking devices are used for splicing display screens, then the locking function is achieved, but the installation and disassembly process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation and disassembly convenienceVSAvoidlocking device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The locking device is divided into modular components: a locking component with a locking piece and cavity, and a lock bar with corresponding features. This segmentation allows each part to be simple in structure while working together to achieve the locking function, reducing overall device complexity and improving ease of installation and disassembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The locking piece is arranged within the cavity of the locking component, and the lock bar extends into this cavity. The nested arrangement allows compact design with minimal moving parts, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining effective locking capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Productivity

If traditional locking devices are used for splicing display screens, then the locking function is achieved, but the splicing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing efficiencyVSAvoidinstallation and disassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The locking piece is pre-positioned within the locking component cavity, and the lock bar is designed with predetermined engagement features. This preliminary arrangement eliminates the need for complex alignment procedures during installation, allowing workers to quickly connect display screen units by simply inserting the lock bar into the cavity, thereby significantly improving splicing efficiency and reducing time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If fixed-angle locking devices are used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to different splicing angles is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing angle adjustmentVSAvoidlocking mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The locking component cavity and lock bar are designed with dynamic engagement capability, allowing the locking piece to engage with the lock bar at multiple angular positions. This dynamic design enables the locking mechanism to adapt to different splicing angles while maintaining structural simplicity, as the same basic components can accommodate various angular configurations without requiring additional complex mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
