Solution Overview

Problem

Existing large screen splitters are inflexible in use angle and inconvenient to move, leading to unstable structures and high damage risk, while small screen splitters provide unsatisfactory user experiences due to limited screen area.

Innovation Solution

A box-type screen splitter comprising a storage box with a rotatable upper cover and a screen with multiple display screens that can be rotated and connected in various configurations, allowing for flexible use angles and easy storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If large screen splitters are used, then the screen area is large, but the use angle is inflexible and the structure is unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoiduse angle flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The screen splitter is divided into multiple rotatable segments (first display screen, second display screen, third display screen) that can be independently rotated relative to each other. This segmentation allows each screen module to be positioned at different angles while maintaining a large total screen area, directly resolving the contradiction between large screen area and flexible use angle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustability through rotatable connections between screen modules and between the screen and storage box. The rotatable first connecting portion and rotatable connection between display screens enable the structure to adapt to different use angles dynamically, transforming a static large screen into a flexible multi-angle display system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Area of moving object

If large screen splitters are used, then the screen area is large, but it is inconvenient to move and has high damage risk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidmobility convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The screen modules are designed to nest within the storage box when not in use. The first display screen, second display screen, and third display screen can be folded and stored inside the box body, with the rotatable connections allowing compact nesting. This nesting design enables easy mobility while preserving the large screen area when deployed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The dynamic rotatable connections allow the screen structure to transition between an expanded large-screen configuration and a compact folded configuration for storage and transport. This dynamic transformation capability resolves the contradiction by providing both large screen area when needed and ease of movement when folded.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If small screen splitters are used, then the structure is stable and easy to move, but the screen area is small

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobility convenienceVSAvoidscreen area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The screen is segmented into multiple display modules (first, second, and third display screens) that can be connected in various configurations. This segmentation allows the system to achieve a large total screen area by combining multiple modules while maintaining the compact, movable form factor when folded, resolving the contradiction between screen area and mobility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes three-dimensional spatial arrangement with rotatable connections that allow the screen modules to be deployed in different dimensional configurations. When expanded, the screens form a large multi-angle display; when collapsed, they nest compactly, effectively using dimensional transformation to resolve the area-mobility contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
