Electronic Table Card Mounting Assembly for Fast Conference Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional paper name badges are cumbersome to replace and inconvenient to store and place, especially in conference settings where participant lists often change temporarily.
Innovation Solution
An electronic table card system featuring an electronic display screen with a protrusion and clamping slots, which can be securely fixed onto a triangular base seat using a fixing assembly, allowing for easy updates and reduced operational difficulty.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional paper name badges are used, then the display information is simple and the device structure is simple, but the operation is cumbersome and the replacement is troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an electronic display screen to create a digital copy of the traditional paper name badge information. This allows the information to be updated electronically without replacing physical cards, solving the contradiction between ease of updating and device simplicity by using digital replication instead of physical replacement
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physically handling and replacing paper name badges with an electronic display system controlled by a controller. This substitution eliminates the need for manual placement and removal of physical cards, improving operational ease while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure
2Productivity
If electronic display screen is added to replace paper badges, then the ease of updating information is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic display screen serves multiple functions: displaying participant names, showing seat numbers, and potentially displaying other conference-related information. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by providing versatile information display capabilities that improve productivity across various conference scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the electronic table card system into separate functional modules: a display module with the electronic screen, a control module with the controller, and a mounting module with the protrusion and clamping slots. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system by making it modular and easier to manufacture and maintain
3Reliability
If a fixing assembly with protrusion and clamping slots is used, then the stability of the electronic table card is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an asymmetric protrusion shape that fits into a corresponding asymmetric recess in the base seat. This asymmetric design provides stable mounting by preventing rotation or accidental dislodgement, while the simple geometric shapes keep the mounting structure relatively uncomplicated
Solution Approach 2:
The protrusion on the electronic display screen nests into a recess in the base seat, creating a nested structure that provides stable mounting. The clamping slots work in conjunction with this nested arrangement to secure the display screen firmly in place without requiring complex fastening mechanisms

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an electronic table card, a fixed seat of an electronic table card and an electronic table card assembly. The fixed seat includes a base seat and a fixing assembly. The base seat includes a bottom plate and two side plates. The two side plates cooperate with the bottom plate to form a triangular structure, and each of the side plates is provided with a mounting opening that has a shape corresponding to that of the protrusion of the electronic table card and allows the protrusion to probe into the triangular structure. The fixing assembly is configured to be clamped with the clamping slot of the protrusion extending into the triangular structure.
