Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing locking devices are used for splicing display screens, then the splicing can be achieved, but the installation and disassembly processes are complicated, affecting splicing efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing efficiencyVSAvoidinstallation and disassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The locking device is divided into separate components: a locking component with a locking piece and a lock bar component with a slot. This segmentation allows each part to be independently manufactured and assembled, simplifying the overall installation process while maintaining secure splicing of display screens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The locking piece is designed to be inserted into the lock bar through the slot, creating a nested structure where one component fits within another. This nested design enables simple insertion for locking and straightforward extraction for disassembly, significantly improving splicing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If existing locking devices are used for splicing display screens, then the connection can be secured, but the structure is complicated to install and disassemble

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection securityVSAvoidlocking device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The locking function is extracted into a dedicated locking piece that can be independently inserted into the lock bar's slot. This extraction simplifies the overall device structure by separating the locking mechanism from other components, making installation and disassembly easier while maintaining secure connection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using a complex mechanism to achieve locking, the design uses a simple insertion approach where the locking piece goes into the slot. The security is achieved through the simplicity and precision of this inverted approach - a straightforward insert-and-lock mechanism rather than a multi-step complex process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

AI summary

The application belongs to the technical field of display screens, in particular to an arc-shaped lock and display screen assembly, the arc-shaped lock comprises a first lock body and a second lock body; the first lock body comprises an angle adjusting component, a disengagement set, a locking set and a locking piece, the angle adjusting component is used for adjusting a splicing angle, the angle adjusting component is internally provided with a cavity for accommodating the disengagement set, the locking set is provided in the disengagement set, and the locking piece is arranged on outer wall of the locking set; the second lock body comprises a lock bar, the lock bar is provided with a slot, the disengagement set moves relative to the locking set, so that the locking piece moves toward the lock bar under extrusion force of the disengagement set, and is locked in the slot to realize temporary fixation of the first lock body and the second lock body. According to the application, the locking piece moves along with the locking set, and the disengagement set pushes the locking piece, so that the locking piece is clamped in the slot, thereby realizing the interlocking of the first lock body and the second lock body. The splicing process of the display screen unit is simplified, the installation is convenient, and the splicing efficiency is improved.
