Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional portable multi-screen devices have non-removable expanded screens and fixed clamping widths, making them inconvenient to carry and use on various display widths, and lacking flexibility and support when not in use.

Innovation Solution

An expanded screen design featuring a main body with a first and second clamping member and a connection component, allowing for adjustable clamping spaces and detachable mounting on displays, along with a supporting frame for stability when placed on a platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the expanded screen is made non-removable to ensure stability during use, then the stability is improved, but the convenience in carrying deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidconvenience in carrying
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The expanded screen is divided into a screen body and a supporting frame that can be separated. The supporting frame can be detached when not in use, reducing the overall size and making it more convenient to carry, while the screen body remains intact for stable display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting frame is extracted as a separate detachable component from the screen body. When the supporting frame is removed, only the essential screen body needs to be carried, significantly improving portability while the supporting frame can be stored separately or attached when stability is needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Device complexity

If the clamping width is fixed to simplify the structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different display widths deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidadaptability to different display widths
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The clamping mechanism incorporates adjustable components that allow the clamping width to be dynamically changed according to different display widths. The supporting frame includes adjustable arms or telescopic structures that can be extended or retracted to match various screen sizes, enabling the expanded screen to adapt to different displays without requiring multiple fixed-size units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If the supporting frame is removed to reduce device complexity, then the structure is simplified, but the ability to stand when placed on a platform deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidability to stand when placed on a platform
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting frame is segmented into detachable components that can be attached to the screen body only when needed. This allows the structure to remain simple during storage and transport, while providing full supporting functionality when the expanded screen is placed on a platform for use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting frame is designed with universal adaptability to work with different screen configurations and platform surfaces. It can be attached or detached based on usage scenarios, providing both standing capability and simplified structure as needed, making it a multi-functional component that serves different purposes in different contexts.

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an expanded screen. The expanded screen is detachably mounted on a display. The expanded screen includes an expanded screen main body, a first clamping member, a second clamping member and a connection component. One end of the first clamping member is provided with a first clamping portion. One end of the second clamping member is provided with a second clamping portion. The first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are clamped on the display. The other end of the first clamping member is slidably connected to the other end of the second clamping member through the connection component and the first clamping member and the second clamping member slide relative to each other, so that a distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member is relatively extended or shortened.
