Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wall-hanging attachment devices for large display screens fail to ensure accurate positional alignment of adjacent display devices when forming a large screen by combining multiple display devices in rows and columns.

Innovation Solution

The display device attachment fitting and jig system, comprising a frame body, fitting component, and fixing member, along with corner fittings that utilize magnets or protrusions and engagement holes, ensures precise alignment and positioning of display devices by supporting the weight of the devices and allowing for fine adjustments to maintain accurate spacing and alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional wall-hanging attachment devices are used to fix display devices to a wall, then individual devices can be securely attached, but the positional accuracy between adjacent display devices deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment securityVSAvoidpositional accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment system is divided into separate components: a wall-hanging attachment device for securing to the wall, and a frame body with positioning structures for aligning adjacent display devices. This segmentation allows each component to optimize its function independently - the attachment device ensures secure mounting while the frame body with its positioning holes and lugs ensures precise positioning between adjacent devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If a frame body with positioning structures is added to improve positional accuracy, then the alignment between adjacent display devices improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositional accuracyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning structures (positioning holes, positioning lugs, and recesses) are integrated directly into the frame body structure rather than being separate components. The frame body itself serves dual purposes: providing structural support for the display device and incorporating the positioning features needed for alignment. This merging reduces the number of separate parts and simplifies the overall system while maintaining high positional accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

This solution significantly enhances the positional accuracy of display devices in forming large screens, reducing installation complexity and costs while ensuring a gap-free and flat display surface.

Implementation Method 1

The attraction component is able to move in a direction that intersects the planar part, is unable to move in a direction that is perpendicular to the display screen, and adheres to metal
