Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fixing devices for display panels are time-consuming and labor-intensive to assemble, and they are not reusable, limiting their convenience and versatility.

Innovation Solution

A fixing device featuring a pedestal with a first chute and a bracket that forms a buckled structure with a slide block, allowing for tool-free assembly and disassembly, along with a connecting arm for mounting displays, and a system of chutes and limiting parts for easy alignment and separation of components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If fixing devices are connected through welded profiles and bolts, then the structural strength is improved, but the assembly time and labor consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing device is divided into modular components (pedestal, bracket, connecting arm, mounting plate) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. The bracket includes separable parts like the slide block and limiting parts that can be independently positioned and fixed, enabling modular assembly without welding entire structures together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing device transitions from a static welded structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The slide block can move along the chute to adjust positions, and the limiting parts can be repositioned along the connecting arm, allowing the structure to adapt to different configurations while maintaining strength during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If fixing devices use welded profiles, then the structural stability is improved, but the reusability and ease of disassembly deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The structure is segmented into detachable components connected by mechanical interfaces rather than permanent welds. The bracket separates into the slide block and the main body with chute, allowing the mounting plate to be removed and reinstalled on different pedestals, enabling reuse while maintaining stability during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing device is designed for recovery and reuse rather than permanent installation. Components can be disassembled and recovered for use in other locations, with the limiting parts and slide block mechanism enabling easy recovery without damaging the structural integrity for future use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple limiting parts are provided on the connecting arm, then the adjustability and versatility are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different parts of the connecting arm have different local qualities - the chute provides a guided path for the slide block, while the limiting parts at different positions provide specific stop points. Each component has a specialized function that contributes to overall adjustability without requiring the entire structure to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
