Solution Overview
Problem
Existing assembled bodies, such as photo frames and display frames, are rigid and cannot be easily adapted to irregular display spaces, making transportation and installation inconvenient, especially when they are made in small specifications.
Innovation Solution
The use of splicable male joints and female interfaces, featuring traverse and horizontal plates with stopping edges and locating protrusions, allows for flexible assembly and disassembly, enabling the creation of required shapes by connecting male and female connecting parts through connectors, which can be in various shapes like straight, break angle, or rounded angles, and includes accessories for additional functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If assembled bodies are made into fixed shapes with rigid structures, then manufacturing precision and structural stability are improved, but adaptability to irregular display spaces and ease of arrangement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The assembled body is divided into multiple modular components (first assembled body and second assembled body) that can be independently manufactured with precise dimensions but flexibly combined through connecting parts to adapt to different display space requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting parts incorporate adjustable mechanisms that allow the assembled bodies to be dynamically reconfigured between different positions and orientations, enabling adaptation to irregular display spaces while maintaining structural stability during each configuration
2Adaptability or versatility
If assembled bodies are made into small specifications, then adaptability to display spaces is improved, but installation convenience deteriorates due to one-by-one arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple small assembled bodies are merged into a larger integrated display structure through the connecting parts, allowing them to be installed as a unified unit rather than individually, thereby improving installation convenience while maintaining the adaptability benefits of small modular components
3Adaptability or versatility
If assembled bodies are made according to irregular positions, then adaptability to display spaces is improved, but transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display structure is segmented into standardized modular components that can be efficiently packaged and transported in regular configurations, then reassembled into irregular positions at the destination using the adjustable connecting parts

AI summary
Provided is an assembled body assembled by splicing frames through male joint and female interface. The male joint includes a stopping edge and a locating protrusion, where the stopping edge extends in a first direction and the locating protrusion extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The female interface includes a first U-shape recess, and an inner surface of the recess is provided with a stopping groove and a locating slot adapted for retaining the stopping edge and the locating protrusion respectively.
