Problem

Current display devices with super-large screens, achieved by splicing multiple small-sized units, face challenges in assembly and disassembly complexity, stability between spliced screens, and overall flatness, leading to poor viewing effects and increased personnel and time requirements.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a frame and display modules featuring a sliding rod connected by an elastic component, allowing for easy splicing and disassembly through a nested fixture and chute structure, ensuring stability and minimizing gaps between modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple small-sized display units are spliced to achieve super-large screens, then the screen area is increased, but the assembly and disassembly complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidassembly and disassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixture includes a chamber that receives and nests the display module, with a sliding rod that moves between extended and retracted positions to secure or release the module. This nested structure allows for simplified assembly and disassembly while maintaining the spliced configuration of multiple display units to achieve super-large screens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple small-sized display units are spliced to achieve super-large screens, then the screen area is increased, but the time required for assembly and disassembly increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidassembly and disassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The sliding rod is configured to move dynamically between an extended position (for securing display modules during operation) and a retracted position (for facilitating quick assembly and disassembly). This dynamic mechanism reduces the time required for maintenance and replacement of spliced display units in super-large screen configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Area of stationary object

If multiple small-sized display units are spliced together, then the screen area is increased, but the stability between adjacent screens deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidstability between adjacent screens
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The fixture is segmented into distinct functional components: a chamber for receiving the display module, a sliding rod for securing, and an elastic component for providing maintaining force. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, ensuring stable connections between adjacent spliced screens while maintaining the overall large screen area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Area of stationary object

If multiple small-sized display units are spliced together, then the screen area is increased, but the overall flatness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen areaVSAvoidoverall flatness
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic component changes its physical state between compressed and relaxed conditions to provide maintaining force on the display module. This parameter change ensures that the display module remains firmly held in a flat, stable position within the fixture, preventing inclination or gaps between spliced screens while maintaining the super-large screen area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A display device including a frame, a first display module with a second chute, and a second display module with a first chute, is provided. The frame includes a first fixture including a chamber and a sliding rod movably connected in the chamber. The second chute includes a first end and a second end. The first end passes through an end of the first display module. The second chute includes a pole whose one end is fixed to the second end. The first chute has a cavity structure and at least one end of the first chute passes through an end of the second display module. The display device has a first state where the first fixture is nested in the second chute and the pole is inserted into the chamber such that the pole pushes out the sliding rod and the sliding rod is inserted into the first chute.
