Solution Overview

Problem

The assembly process of large-sized display devices is complex and requires significant effort, often resulting in visible splicing traces and exposed screw holes, which complicates installation and maintenance.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a frame assembly with interconnected first and second frames, including inner and outer side walls, connecting side walls, and a cavity system for screw mounting, along with a sliding frame cover and infrared touch components, allows for seamless splicing and hidden screw installation, facilitating easier assembly and maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If large-sized display devices are assembled using traditional methods, then the display device can be manufactured, but the assembly process becomes complex and requires significant effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidassembly process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame assembly is divided into multiple splicing frames that can be separately manufactured and then assembled together. Each frame includes dividing walls that create separate cavities for screw hidden treatment. This segmentation allows for simplified manufacturing of individual components while achieving the overall function of a large display device frame through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Shape

If traditional assembly methods are used for large-sized display devices, then the display device can be manufactured, but visible splicing traces and exposed screw holes appear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveappearance qualityVSAvoidframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screw holes are nested within the frame structure by creating cavities inside the frames using dividing walls. The screws are installed within these internal cavities and are not visible from the external surface. This nesting approach hides the fastening elements within the frame's internal structure, eliminating exposed screw holes while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The screw holes are extracted from the external surface of the frame and relocated to internal cavities. By removing the screw holes from the visible exterior and placing them within the frame's internal structure, the appearance quality is improved while the fastening function is preserved within the hidden cavities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If traditional frame structures are used, then the display device can be assembled, but installation and maintenance become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation convenienceVSAvoidframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is segmented into multiple splicing frames with standardized dividing wall structures. Each frame module can be independently assembled and then connected to form the complete frame assembly. This modular segmentation simplifies the installation process by breaking down a large complex assembly into manageable modules that can be installed systematically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
