Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses face challenges in easily adjusting the position of each display unit and the step difference between multiple display units, which complicates installation and affects aesthetics.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus comprising a first display unit, a second display unit, a connection bracket with connectors for electrical connection, and a position adjusting device that allows for sliding and rotational adjustments of the connectors to adjust the position of the display units.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If display units are fixed in position, then installation is simple, but position adjustment is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition adjustmentVSAvoidmounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure transitions from a fixed state to a dynamic adjustable state. The connection bracket incorporates a position adjusting device with movable components that allow the mounting position to be changed after installation, enabling both simple initial installation and subsequent position adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The position adjusting device is nested within the connection bracket structure. The guide block moves along the guide screw which is integrated into the bracket, creating a compact adjustable mounting system that doesn't require separate external adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of operation

If display units are rigidly connected, then structural stability is high, but step difference adjustment is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestep difference adjustmentVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The connection transitions from rigid to dynamically adjustable. The guide block can move along the guide screw to adjust the step difference between display units, while the threaded connection maintains stability during operation. The structure provides both adjustability and operational stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system allows changing the positional parameters (step difference) of display units after installation. The guide screw mechanism enables precise adjustment of the vertical position parameter while maintaining a stable connected state during display operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If separate cables are used for electrical connection, then electrical connectivity is reliable, but installation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidconnection structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electrical connection function is merged with the mechanical mounting function. The connection bracket integrates both the mechanical support structure and the electrical connector, eliminating the need for separate cable connections and simplifying installation to a single integrated mounting operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection bracket serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support, enables position adjustment, and establishes electrical connection. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall installation process.

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