Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panel supports are non-detachable and lack adjustable clamping mechanisms, making it inconvenient to stand and measure display panels of varying sizes and thicknesses, which affects measurement accuracy and reliability.

Innovation Solution

A display panel support assembly with detachable pillar supports and adjustable clamping assemblies, featuring threaded rods and nuts for precise adjustment of clamping plates, allowing for secure clamping of panels with minimal light-blocking area and enhanced stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a one-piece non-detachable optical support is used, then the structure is simple, but it is inconvenient for use and movement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of use and movementVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The optical support is divided into multiple detachable components including a base, pillar support, and clamping assemblies. This segmentation allows the support to be disassembled for easy movement and storage, while maintaining structural simplicity through modular design where each component remains relatively simple in form.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed clamping width support is used, then the structure is simple, but the clamping width cannot be adjusted for different panel sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of clamping widthVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The clamping assemblies incorporate adjustable mechanisms with threaded rods and nuts that allow dynamic adjustment of clamping width and clamping force. This enables the support to adapt to different panel sizes and thicknesses while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through standardized adjustable components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If mirrors are added to form an optical system, then measurement accuracy is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoidoptical system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The optical support is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate various optical measurement components including mirrors, optical diaphragms, and detectors. The standardized detachable structure allows different optical components to be mounted on the same base, enabling multiple measurement functions without requiring separate complex systems for each measurement type.

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

AI summary

A display panel support and a support assembly are provided. The display panel support includes a base, a pillar support, a first clamping assembly, and a second clamping assembly. The pillar support is detachably mounted to the base. The first clamping assembly is disposed on the pillar support. The first clamping assembly includes a first clamping plate and a first adjusting member. The first adjusting member is used for mounting the first clamping plate to the pillar support and adjusting a distance between the first clamping plate and the pillar support. The second clamping assembly is disposed at a bottom end of the pillar support. The second clamping assembly includes a second clamping plate and a second adjusting member. The second adjusting member is used for mounting the second clamping plate to the pillar support and adjusting a distance between the second clamping plate and the pillar support.
