Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple display screens are assembled together to increase display area, then the display area is improved, but the installation complexity increases due to the need for precise alignment and repeated position confirmation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring guiding structures (guiding rails and guiding grooves) on the display screens before assembly. These structures are designed in advance to automatically guide alignment during the assembly process, eliminating the need for workers to repeatedly confirm positions and thereby reducing installation complexity while maintaining large display area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses guiding structures as intermediary elements between display screens during assembly. The guiding rails and guiding grooves act as mediators that facilitate precise alignment and positioning, transforming the complex alignment task into a simple insertion operation, thus resolving the contradiction between large display area and installation complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display screens are assembled together to meet public display requirements, then the display capability is improved, but the installation time increases due to complicated assembly steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay capabilityVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The guiding structures are pre-configured on display screens before assembly, with guiding rails and grooves designed to automatically align screens during installation. This preliminary preparation reduces the assembly process to simple insertion operations, significantly decreasing installation time while maintaining enhanced display capability for public applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The guiding structures enable the display screens to self-align during assembly. The geometric shapes of the guiding rails and grooves automatically guide the screens into correct positions without requiring external measurement or adjustment tools, thereby reducing installation time while preserving the adaptability needed for various public display scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If workers repeatedly confirm screen positions to ensure assembly accuracy, then the assembly precision is improved, but the installation efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly precisionVSAvoidinstallation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The guiding structures serve as intermediary elements that physically enforce precise alignment between display screens. The geometric constraints of the guiding rails and grooves automatically ensure correct positioning, eliminating the need for repeated manual confirmation while maintaining high assembly precision, thus resolving the contradiction between precision and installation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The guiding structures enable the assembly system to self-correct and self-verify alignment automatically. The interlocking geometry of the guiding rails and grooves provides inherent positioning accuracy without requiring external measurement or repeated confirmation by workers, thereby simultaneously achieving high assembly precision and improved installation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
