Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panel supports are often integrated, non-detachable, and inconvenient for carrying and storage, posing stability issues during optical measurements, as they may not securely hold the panel upright, risking damage.

Innovation Solution

A detection support system with detachable stop blocks and a base featuring accommodation grooves and holes for adjustable positioning, allowing for stable clamping of the display panel's surfaces and sides, reducing the risk of falling and facilitating easy storage and transport.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an integrated support structure is used, then the support provides stable clamping, but the device becomes inconvenient to carry and store

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support device is divided into multiple detachable components: a base, a support rod, and a clamping assembly. These segments can be separated for easy storage and transport, yet assembled to provide stable support during use. The clamping assembly itself is segmented into adjustable clamping blocks that can be independently positioned.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If a fixed-height clamp is used, then the structure is simple, but the panel cannot be securely held and may fall and be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidpanel security
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The clamping assembly incorporates adjustable clamping blocks that can be moved along the support rod to different positions. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the clamp to securely hold panels of various sizes and thicknesses, preventing them from falling while maintaining relatively simple structure through the use of sliding mechanisms and elastic components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If a detachable support structure is used, then the device is convenient to carry and store, but the clamping stability may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidclamping stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable components (base, support rod, clamping assembly) are designed to merge into a unified stable structure when assembled. The connection interfaces incorporate elastic elements and friction-based locking mechanisms that ensure tight, stable connections between components, eliminating the instability that typically accompanies detachable structures while maintaining portability benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
