Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses for electronic signage have a wide frame structure that limits their ability to be mounted in narrow spaces while maintaining a stable and secure display of large-sized screens.

Innovation Solution

The display apparatus features a detachable fixing structure with side frames, adapters, and a backplane that allows for a reduced frame width by adjusting the salient bars and holders, enabling the display module to be securely mounted within a narrower frame while maintaining structural stability through reinforcing beams and a housing with camera and speaker mounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a wide frame structure is used to maintain structural stability, then the display module can be securely mounted, but the frame width increases and the apparatus cannot be mounted in narrow spaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidframe width
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The frame structure is divided into multiple independent components including side frames, cross beams, holding beams, and mounting brackets. These segmented components can be independently positioned and assembled, allowing the frame width to be reduced while maintaining structural stability through optimized component distribution rather than relying on a uniformly wide frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a multi-dimensional support system with cross beams extending in one direction and holding beams extending in another direction, creating a three-dimensional structural framework. This dimensional approach allows structural stability to be achieved through spatial distribution of support elements rather than increasing the two-dimensional frame width.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Length of stationary object

If a narrow frame structure is used to fit in narrow spaces, then space efficiency is improved, but the structural stability and secure mounting of the display module are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe widthVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Mounting brackets are pre-configured with adjustable arms and fastening mechanisms that can be positioned optimally before final assembly. This preliminary configuration allows the narrow frame to achieve proper structural alignment and secure mounting capability without requiring a wider frame structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The frame structure utilizes composite construction combining multiple beam types (cross beams, holding beams) and mounting components with different structural properties. This composite approach allows the narrow frame to achieve enhanced structural stability through the synergistic combination of different structural elements rather than relying on frame width alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Adaptability or versatility

If the frame structure is made detachable with multiple components, then adaptability and ease of installation are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting flexibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting brackets are designed as universal components that can interface with different frame configurations and support multiple functions including structural support, positioning, and securing of the display module. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby reducing overall complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple functions are merged into integrated components: the mounting brackets simultaneously provide structural support, positioning alignment, and secure fastening capabilities. The cross beams and holding beams are combined into a unified framework system. This merging reduces the total number of separate components needed, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining detachability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
